AFM ’10: First Images from ‘The Squad’
Doing a little digging this morning we learned that Jaime Osorio’s supernatural war film El Paramo has been retitled to The Squad, a film we first told you about yesterday morning. We made a few calls and were able to get our hands on the art and some images from the film, alongside the official synopsis. The pic is for sale at this week’s American Film Market, so hopefully we’ll hear of some distribution news soon.
“All contact with a military base high in the desolate wastelands of Colombiahas been lost. The authorities – believing the base to have fallen to a terrorist attack – send a nine-man squad to investigate.When they arrive, the men discover a shocking scene of carnage, and only onesurvivor – a mute woman in chains.
Gradually the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside worldand the impossibility of escape begin to undermine the sanity of the soldiers.They start to question the identity of their enemy, and the true nature ofthe strange, silent woman. Is she a terrorist? A victim? Or something moresinister? Something supernatural… Paranoia takes root. Prisoners of fearand the terrible secret they share, their humanity abandoned, the men turn savagely on each other.”
A handful of shark attack horror movies have already been released in the first half of the year, with Under Paris most recently swimming to Netflix. Up next? The Last Breath.
RLJE Films will release The Last Breath in theaters and on VOD July 26.
This one comes courtesy of director Joachim Hedén, who directed the intense underwater thriller Breaking Surface back in 2020. This time he adds hungry sharks to the mix…
“The survival thriller follows five college friends who go scuba diving into a recently uncovered WWII shipwreck in the British Virgin Islands, where they find themselves trapped by great white sharks.”
Here’s the full synopsis: “Finding the long-lost wreck of the warship USS Charlotte has been the lifelong pursuit of Levi (Julian Sands), an aging expat running a tourist dive business in the British Virgin Islands together with recent college dropout Noah (Jack Parr). When the USS Charlotte emerges for the first time in eighty years after a tropical storm, Noah’s friends visiting the island insist for them all to do a once-in-a-lifetime dive on the newly discovered wreck before it’s handed over to the authorities. The dream dive rapidly turns into a nightmare as they become trapped in the darkness of the Charlotte’s interior, thirty meters down and with a dwindling air supply. And then they discover that they are not alone.”
Kim Spearman (As I Am) and Erin Mullen also star.
Nick Saltrese (Prayer Before Dawn) wrote the script for The Last Breath.
