Darkman 1990

Today we’re peeling back the scorched layers of one of the strangest, most genre-bending entries in early '90s horror: Darkman (1990), directed by none other than Sam Raimi.Before Raimi had Spider-Man swinging through New York, he gave us Peyton Westlake—a brilliant scientist turned disfigured vigilante, played with tragic fury by Liam Neeson. Burned alive, left for dead, and reborn through experimental science, Westlake becomes the titular Darkman: a creature of rage, synthetic skin, and unstable identity. It’s part Frankenstein, part Phantom of the Opera, and all Raimi chaos.
