Out of Darkness (2022)


A Stone Age survival story that calls to mind something like Quest for Fire. This film is particularly unique because it's presented in an invented Paleolithic language with subtitles. 
45,000 years ago, a small clan struggles for survival against the harsh, unforgiving elements (and each other) while harboring a preternatural fear of the dark and suspecting a creature of stalking them from the shadows. You can kind of figure out where it's heading the entire time, but the end result is memorable enough.
