‘The Underneath’ Aims To Take On ‘The Descent’
Caves, man. That’s a lofty goal for any horror film since you’re immediately stacking yourself up against The Descent. But that’s not stopping director Brian T. Jaynes (Biohazard: Patient Zero, Boggy Creek) from trying. He’s currently shooting The Underneath in Mineola, Texas for Origin Releasing.
“The film follows a young newlywed couple who find themselves trapped in a network of underground caves. With her husband (Boggs) injured, the new bride (Wilemon) is forced to find her way back to the surface in order to save his life. In the process, they discover a terrifying truth about the “underneath”, that they are not alone. Something evil is hunting them…” The film stars Holt Boggs, Natalie Wilemon and Larry Jack Dotson.
While some of the film was shot on location, you’ll see from the pics below that the crew actually built a fairly cool cave set as well.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
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.
