THE GIRL IN THE CRAWLSPACE to Scare Viewers in 2019

Director Henrique Couto (BABYSITTER MASSACRE) and screenwriter John Oak Dalton (HAUNTED HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW) teamed up for the fifth time on one of Dalton’s screenplays—only this time they are wearing different hats, with Couto producing (and serving as Director of Photography) and Dalton directing. THE GIRL IN THE CRAWLSPACE shot this spring in rural Indiana.

“John Dalton is one of my favorite collaborators, so helping him take the director’s chair was a no brainer for me,” Couto said. “I have wanted to jump over to the director’s chair for a while, after working on the sets of some of the movies made from my screenplays,” Dalton said. “This is a script I feel strongly about, one that I have wanted to get out there.”

Erin Ryan (CALAMITY JANE’S REVENGE) plays the title character, Jill. At the outset, Jill escapes from a notorious serial killer who has kept her prisoner in a crawlspace. She tries to work her way back to normal with the help of a therapist, but becomes inserted into the therapist’s strained marriage with a failing screenwriter. Joni Durian (ALONE IN THE GHOST HOUSE) and John Hambrick (SCAREWAVES) play the troubled couple.

Others in the cast include Tom Cherry, Rachael Redolfi, Jeff Kirkendall, Joe Kidd, Iabou Windimere, and fellow director Andrew Shearer. “It’s psychological horror, with hopefully some good twists and turns,” Dalton said.

After debuting at the Hoosierdance Film Festival, THE GIRL IN THE CRAWLSPACE is slated for wider release in early 2019.
