We've been keeping track of director Stewart Sparke's feature debut, the Lovecraftian horror film THE CREATURE BELOW (formerly known as THE DARK BELOW), for just over a year now, taking a look at a couple different trailers and the poster art. For those of you in the U.S. who have been intrigued by the previous reports on the movie, we have some very good news to share today: Breaking Glass Pictures will be releasing THE CREATURE BELOW on DVD and VOD in the United States on February 28th.
Scripted by Paul Butler, the film tells the following story:
During a traumatic accident on a deep-sea dive, Olive, a gifted, young marine biologist discovers an unearthly creature. After losing her dream job, Olive smuggles the creature home, intent on studying it in secret, unbeknownst to her devoted boyfriend Matt, and estranged sister Ellie.
Plagued by gruesome nightmares, her fractured memories of what happened during the accident in the depths of the ocean begin to unravel, revealing her symbiotic bond with an eldritch horror far older and more malevolent than she could possibly imagine, one which drives her to carry out its sinister will, with deadly results for those around her.
Anna Dawson stars as Olive.
The latest trailer for the film can be seen below. If the movie looks interesting you, watch for it on DVD in February, or on iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox, Vudu, and On Demand.
