Christopher Webster [Celluloid 05.07.13] horror



Anyone familiar with Stephen King's The Raft will recognize the chilling possibilities inherent in the simple concept of Larry Fessenden's Beneath. Regular people forced together in a confined space and unable to leave due to some terrifying force of nature makes for some tense character drama (See also: The Mist, Frozen, Pontypool etc).

Beneath is a Glass Eye Pix/Chill TV co-production with plans to premier on Chiller TV in spring 2013.





Synopsis:
When a group of young friends commemorating their high school graduation take a trip to the remote Black Lake, their celebration turns into a nightmare with the sudden appearance of a bloodthirsty, underwater predator. Stuck in a leaking boat with no oars, the teens face the ultimate tests of friendship and sacrifice during a terror-stricken fight for survival.


Beneath stars Danny Zovatto (Innocence), Bonnie Dennison (Stake Land, Third Watch), Chris Conroy (Sorority Row), Jonny Orsini (Imogene), Griffin Newman (Political Animals) and Mackenzie Rosman (7th Heaven). Also joining the cast is Emmy-nominee Mark Margolis (Breaking Bad) as Mr. Parks.

The film is written by Tony Daniel and Brian D. Smith, and directed by horror icon Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter, Habit). Produced by Fessenden and Peter Phok for Glass Eye Pix (Stake Land, The Innkeepers, I Sell The Dead).
