Darkness Rising is a 2017 American supernatural horror film directed by Austin Reading.

The film opens with a man playing with his daughter Sarah as a house appears in the distance.

Twenty-five years ago Madison's mother smothered her infant daughter Olivia. Only the intervention of Madison's father saved the girl; however, he reported hearing a voice whispering the number five. Years later Madison returns to her childhood home alongside her boyfriend Jake and her cousin Izzy. Jake is concerned for Madison, as she has recently begun strange behaviors, one of which is writing the number five as slashes.

Once inside the house the trio experience strange supernatural events. When Madison reveals that there have been similar homes that have disappeared after tragic events, the group tries to leave the home but are unsuccessful. Izzy briefly disappears and returns possessed. She tries to kill Madison but is stopped by Jake, who ties Izzy up as she rants. While they are trying to find a way to get help or escape, Jake discovers a photo album containing pictures of Seth, a brother that Madison realizes she couldn't remember. Madison also recalls nightmares of the past and the words that "five must die". She tells Jake that she is pregnant, which is why she wanted to return to the home. Madison is attacked by Izzy and flees to another room, during which time she is also attacked by other supernatural forces.
