Official Mesmerizing Trailer for The Dark Below

We’ve been following Douglas Schulze’s (Mimesis: Night of the Living Dead) highly original film The Dark Below, for quite some time now. We’ve ushered in a poster and a slew of photos from the film, and now today, courtesy of Fangoria, we have scored the official trailer for the film and it’s mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful, I urge you to check it out below.

The Dark Below is a terrifying tale about a divers struggle to stay alive beneath a frozen lake while a killer hunts them from above. Set largely on and beneath a frozen lake the production crew filmed The Dark Below outdoors in temperatures that, at times dropped to minus 20 degrees. Schulze explains; “There’s no green screen here; we filmed this almost entirely in real locations with real elements.”

Schulze’s previous films include the top selling MIMESIS (Anchor Bay / Starz) about role players that recreate Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead complete with flesh eating, Dark Fields (with the late David Carradine).

Look for the film at the Fantasia International Film Festival this summer in Montreal (July 14th thru Aug 4th).
