Our screenwriter Robert Hurley<\/a> was just an ordinary young man trying to pursue his dream career when he met a woman and fell in love. It should have been a happy ending, right? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The woman he fell in love with was Natalya, a Russian escort, who, if we can believe Hurley\u2019s diaries, sent him spiralling into the dark worlds of the Russian mafia and human-sacrificing cult,\u00a0Dark Onto Light<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you already follow Hurley\u2019s story, then you know he\u2019s missing, but what happened to him? Well, many of us think the ancient cult Dark Onto Light are to blame for his mysterious disappearance, but the question on everyone\u2019s mind is, has Hurley joined them?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What would possess anyone to join a dangerous cult liked Dark Onto Light<\/a>? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As with many indoctrinations, the cult in question usually seeks out their potential members, and I believe Dark Onto Light exploited Hurley\u2019s strengths and his weaknesses to indoctrinate him.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n But why Hurley? And what qualities did Dark Onto Light see in Hurley that would make him easy to manipulate?<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Hurley was adopted and grew up in an orphanage<\/a>. Many people have had this start in life, right? How would that make Hurley susceptible to joining a cult? A cult relies heavily on manipulation, promising love and acceptance with the plan to make their members psychologically dependent on them. A person that has grown up without their parent’s love may look for somewhere they could belong, feel loved and become part of a \u2018family\u2019 unit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Robert himself even comments on his need for love writing, \u201cI wasn\u2019t anxious for love these days (unlike me)\u201d. Now why did Hurley suddenly stop his quest for love? Was it because Hurley\u2019s need for love was being met in some warped way by the secret society Dark Onto Light<\/a>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I suppose we all seek this out to some degree, but how could Hurley\u2019s need for this become so strong that he would compliantly join a cult that he knew were evil and practised human sacrifice? Wel, let\u2019s think about serial killers for a momen; Jack the Ripper, for example. Although he obviously didn\u2019t wish to be caught, he couldn\u2019t help but lap up the attention from his killings and even risked writing to the papers, even though this could have comprised his freedom. Or when serial killers return to the scene of the crime to admire their handy work… And don\u2019t\u00a0forget that some of the most notorious killers not only acted on their instinct to kill, but also pandered to their need for notoriety and desire to\u00a0leave behind a legacy. What\u2019s more notorious than becoming part of a cult like Dark Onto Light?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Robert\u2019s need for recognition and respect can be seen in one of his diary entries<\/a>. \u2018<\/span><\/span>It is MY movie. The least they can do is treat me with respect. They wouldn\u2019t be here if it wasn\u2019t for me. I hope they read this. I will not be ignored or walked on. I am not a doormat and we will be friends.\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This would also explain why Hurley\u2019s diary containing the cult’s secrets was so obtainable and why he created a website accessible to everybody. He wanted to leave his mark on the world. If this is the case, then by telling Robert\u2019s story and carrying on this investigation, we are doing exactly what Hurley wanted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Robert\u2019s first passion was writing. Hurley immersed himself in the character he was writing about to better understand the script and even became involved with a call girl, much like his character did. It was already evident that Hurley would go \u2018above and beyond\u2019 when it came to authenticity in his writing, so when Hurley happened to stumble across a dangerous cult like Dark Onto Light, it\u2019s quite possible, despite hesitance or fear, that be would become involved with them to inspire his writing. Did Hurley decide he admired the cult and wanted to join after spending more time with them? Who knows, although it\u2019s more likely the time Hurley spent with the cult made it easier for Dark Onto Light to indoctrinate him, using brainwashing methods implemented by most cults when recruiting new members.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n From his diary entries, we can see it was the Russian call girl Natalya who introduced him to the dangerous world of the Russia Mafia and Dark Onto Light.<\/a> We could even say if it hadn\u2019t been for Natalya, Hurley would never have stumbled upon the cult and may still be with us today. I think it\u2019s safe to say that Hurley was besotted with Natalya, even claiming to feel pangs of jealousy and possessiveness when others interacted with her. I think Hurley would have followed Natalya to hell and back.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What were Natalya\u2019s motives? Perhaps Natalya was caught up with this cult and asked Hurley for help, unintentionally contributing to his ruin, or is it something more sinister? As sad as the thought is, perhaps Natalya didn\u2019t feel the same way about Robert as he did for her. Did she lure Hurley into the cult under false pretences? If this is the case, it\u2019s something she could have done to many other men. Hurley did mention Natalya\u2019s change in behaviour towards him; perhaps her work was done? One thing is for certai, Natalya was the link between Hurley <\/a>and Dark Onto Light<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 If Hurley has joined Dark Onto Light, then what of him now? Is Hurley missing because he took the cult\u2019s oath of secrecy and cut himself off from the rest of the world? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If this is the case, then perhaps we are all endangering ourselves by carrying on this investigation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One question plagues my mind: did Hurley<\/a> leave his diaries as a cry for help or to lure those who found it into the clutches of Dark Onto Light<\/a>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Be sure to visit Jade\u2019s website<\/a><\/strong> and learn more about\u00a0Robert Hurley<\/a>\u00a0and the film that was made about his disappearance at\u00a0Dostoyevsky Reimagined: The Making of Notes from the New World<\/a>.<\/p>\n Want to know about VM Productions’ “Dostoyevsky-Los Angeles Project” and about the films we make?
