The H.P. Lovecraft-inspired horror film that was once known as THE DARK BELOW has been renamed THE CREATURE BELOW as it starts to make the festival rounds, a good call on the part of the filmmakers since there's already another movie out there called THE DARK BELOW.
Directed by Stewart Sparke, making his feature directorial debut, from a screenplay by Paul Butler (this is also his feature debut), THE CREATURE BELOW has the following synopsis:
During a traumatic accident on a deep-sea dive, Olive, a gifted, young marine-biologist discovers an unearthly creature. 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 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 in the film, which is set to make its world premiere at the Frightfest festival in London on August 27th.
A new title isn't the only thing this project has received ahead of its festival premiere. It also has a new trailer and a cool new poster, both of which can be viewed right here:
