It’s been a while since I’ve heard any news from Backwater. This morning, though, I was contacted by writer/director Christopher Schrack in regards to this horror-thriller and I’m glad to see where the movie stands today. Not only is it currently a Telluride Horror Show official selection and a “Best Script” award winning film, but it also just released a brutal, second trailer to YouTube.
Backwater stars Thomas Daniel (“Law & Order,” 15 Till Midnight), Andrew Roth (Abolition, Frightworld), Justin Tully (Sorority Row), and Liana Werner-Gray (The Man in the Maze). The plot follows, “Cass and Mark, a couple on a camping trip to the distant countryside. When their seemingly secluded getaway is interrupted by an ominous scream, they start to think someone might be stalking them, and encounter two strangers who are also in the woods near them. Despite everything appearing to be harmless, they can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. The truth, however, is far more disturbing than meets the eye.”
Any indie horror fans in the Colorado area should definitely check this film out when it screens at the Telluride Horror Show. The festival will take place October 10-12, 2014 in Telluride, Colorado. The venue hosting the event is the Sheridan Opera House and Nugget Theatre and you can buy a full weekend ticket for only $84.
