About The Absence of Light
When a scientist discovers the possibility of the meaning of life, two shadowy organizations learn of this and will stop at nothing to steal the scientist's work for themselves. As a result, two burned-out assassins named Puritan and Sultan are assigned to protect the scientist and keep his project from falling into the wrong hands.
Directed by Patrick Desmond, The Absence of Light leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Savini, Caroline Munro, Michael Berryman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2006.
