*Update: Sub poster and image are NOT from movie, but art.

RCR and Trilogy Entertainment has now unveiled the first image and official Facebook for their deep sea horror film that takes place at the height of the Cold War.

Phantom, which is written and directed by Todd Robinson, begins when “a Soviet diesel-electric submarine attempts to launch a nuclear weapon at the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet. In the end, one man stood between the apocalypse and the survival of mankind. But, in the indigo depths of the South Pacific, man and machine are not alone.

William Fichtner (Drive Angry 3D), David Duchovny (“X-Files”) and Ed Harris (The Abyss, A History of Violence) star.

The film teases “someTHING” aboard their vessel. When the captain of a Soviet nuclear submarine (Ed Harris) is forced to leave his wife and child to be rushed into a secret assignment, he finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past. He is challenged by the leader of a Soviet Special Forces Team (David Duchovny), whose mission is cloaked in mystery. Faced with an impossible choice and the threat of a nuclear missile attack on the American Pacific fleet, the fate of humanity rests in his hands.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
