After Darkness

★ 4.8/10•1985•1h 44m•Drama•Horror•Thriller

A schizophrenic fear of a memory that threatened to destroy them both.

To salve his guilty conscience an elder brother removes his disturbed younger sibling from a mental institution after a suicide attempt and tries to bring him back to mental competency through one on one contact. Free of the institution he continues to be haunted by dreams of a lost twin and chants the eerie phrase "Do I stand before the king?" It is the elder brother that seems doomed to lose himself in his brother's insanity.
