Dark Tower is a 1987 supernatural horror film directed by Freddie Francis and starring Michael Moriarty, Jenny Agutter, Theodore Bikel, Carol Lynley, Kevin McCarthy and Anne Lockhart. It centers on a high-rise building haunted by a malicious presence.
The film had a troubled production, with Freddie Francis disowning the final cut and crediting under a pseudonym, 'Ken Barnett'. This was his final film as director, before he returned to cinematography full-time. It premiered at the MIFED Film Festival in October 1987, and was released direct-to-video in the United States.
