Producer Brett Ratner had True Crimes in development since 2010. Principal photography began on 12 November 2015 in Kraków, Poland and ended a month later. It held its premiere at the Warsaw Film Festival on 12 October 2016 with the title True Crimes, and had a limited theatrical release in only a few countries, such as the United States, in 2018.[3] Despite some praise for the cast, critics panned Dark Crimes for its pacing, overly downcast tone, and presentation of abused women. It is one of the worst-reviewed films of 2018, holding a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
