Darklight (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darklight is a movie that has links to the Lilith Jewish myth. In the movie, Lilith (Shiri Appleby) and William Shaw (Richard Burgi) join forces to kill Demoniac, an evil beast that is starting a worldwide plague.[1][2][3]

Lilith is introduced as L, a young woman who lives with a guardian. She has no memory of who she is. Lilith is the first woman created by God. She rejected Adam's belief that he was better than her. God turned her into an immortal demoness who kills the children of Adam and Eve. A secret society, The Faith, was created to destroy Lilith.

After a battle that killed William Shaw's son, Lilith lost her memory and became L. The Faith placed her with a foster family.

When the ambitious Anders Raeborne (David Hewlett) used an extract from Lilith in attempt to become immortal, he became the evil Demoniac, a powerful evil beast who transmitted a red plague with his bite and tongue. The leaders of Faith, Prefect (Ross Manarchy) and Chapel (John de Lancie), assigned chief agent William Shaw to help Lilith regain her memories and train her to destroy Demoniac and bring his head to develop an antidote.
