‘The Ruins’ Director Carter Smith Wraps Filming on “Slimy, Wild Queer Horror” Movie ‘Swallowed’
It looks like The Ruins director Carter Smith is going back to his body-horror roots with his latest feature, Swallowed. That includes re-teaming with The Ruins’ lead actress Jena Malone.
An Instagram post by Smith reveals a few key details about the mysterious horror film; production recently wrapped in Maine and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge actor Mark Patton also stars. Smith refers to Swallowed as his first All the Dead Boys feature- All the Dead Boys is Smith’s deep dive into queer fear and body horror.
Most intriguing of all is Smith’s description of Swallowed as a “slimy wild queer horror nightmare of a movie.” The use of slimy teases a heavy emphasis on the body-horror. Carter also established his ability to create cringe-inducing body-horror with his 2008 feature debut, which saw a killer vine consume its victims’ bodies, sometimes from the inside.
Smith doesn’t reveal any plot details as he heads into post-production but promises to share more soon.
