Michael Paré has over 200 credits to his name, including Streets of Fire, Eddie and the Cruisers, Bad Moon, and Arrow in the Head founder John Fallon’s own The Shelter. One of his latest credits comes on D-Railed director Dale Fabrigar‘s horror thriller They Crawl Beneath, which Well Go USA has just acquired the North American distribution rights to. The company is planning to release the film sometime in 2022.
Scripted by Fabrigar’s Middleton Christmas collaborator Tricia Aurand, They Crawl Beneath stars Joseph Almani (Law of Attraction) as
Danny, a young cop working on his uncle Bill’s (Michael Pare) classic vintage car on a secluded ranch when a major earthquake hits. Uncle Bill is crushed, and Danny becomes trapped under the car, creating a claustrophobic nightmare. The situation intensifies when something horrifying emerges out of the cracks in the ground that leaves Danny fighting for his life.
They Crawl Beneath, which was previously going by the title It Crawls Beneath, was produced by Suzanne DeLaurentiis, executive produced by Kevin Goetz, and co-executive-produced by Stephen Hornyak and Neil Goetz.
Well Go USA acquired the North American rights from Film Mode Entertainment, and Deadline reports that Film Mode will be presenting first look footage to potential distributors in other territories during the American Film Market. Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA, had this to say about the deal:
We’re very excited to team up with FME to bring this film to North American audiences. They have a knack for bringing innovative new stories to life for audiences worldwide, and this weaving of creature feature horror with a disaster-thriller backdrop undoubtedly positions They Crawl Beneath as an engaging, nail-biting entry to the horror genre.”
Clay Epstein, the President of Film Mode Entertainment, added:
Kevin and Suzanne have produced a phenomenally entertaining film. There is no better partner than Doris and her team at Well Go to bring this wild ride to audiences.”
The idea of a character being trapped under a car after an earthquake and having to deal with something crawling out of the ground is very intriguing to me. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on They Crawl Beneath as it makes its way out into the world.
