Fans of psychological thrillers like 'Gone Girl' have a new reason to celebrate: Charlize Theron's 'Dark Places' will be available to stream for free starting next month. The 2015 film, based on Gillian Flynn's novel of the same name, stars Theron as Libby Day, a woman who survived the massacre of her family as a child and testified against her brother.
