First, there was Terrifier 2, and then there was Skinamarink. Now, the unholy trinity of indie horror completes its circle this weekend when Robbie Banfitch‘s nightmare The Outwaters opens in limited theaters from Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting, and SCREAMBOX.
Beginning its theatrical run in 100+ theaters, tickets for The Outwaters can be found over at Fandango or on the official website.
While the film’s performance ultimately will decide just how much it expands, we’re kicking the hype to 11 on the cosmic horror that critics are calling “suffocating” and “terrifying”.
If you want to witness a film truly descend straight into the pits of depravity, The Outwaters slow-rolls into the seven levels of Hell and can only be described as Blair Witch Project meets Event Horizon. The film takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares… Believe the hype.
“Robbie Banfitch‘s film plays out over three memory cards found in a sun-drenched section of the Mojave Desert. The footage within is that of a foursome, who set out to make a music video while camping, led by a charismatic LA filmmaker. Their trip starts out uneventful, though their peace is occasionally disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior.
“Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.”
The visceral, chaotic, and disorienting horror film is hands down one of the scariest films of the year. Nightmarish Conjurings noted it was “a rare gift in horror” and “something [viewers] haven’t seen before,” while our very own Meagan Navarro called it “a singular, experimental descent into depravity and gory chaos.” You have to read her review.
In fact, DailyDead calls it “a terrifying, suffocating viewing experience,” while iHORROR says it’s “on track to become the next cult horror movie,” adding that it’s “the most disturbing movie of the year.”
The Outwaters stars Banfitch, Angela Basolis, Michelle May, Scott Schamell and Leslie Ann Banfitch and features original music by Salem Belladonna. The film was produced by Beau J. Genot and Banfitch with Robert Abramoff serving as the executive producer.
