Newcomer Battles Man-Eating Fish In Larry Fessenden’s ‘Beneath’

Newcomer Daniel Zovatto has booked the lead in Glass Eye Pictures’ indie Beneath, which genre veteran Larry Fessenden (Wendigo) is directing, says Variety.

The story will follow six kids stranded on a rowboat who are attacked by a man-eating fish. The horror takes a page out of Hitchock’s book as, in order to survive, the kids one-by-one vote each other off the boat.

Production is currently under way in Connecticut.

Zovatto just wrapped his first feature Innocence, an adaptation of Jane Mendelsohn’s bestselling teen novel that Hilary Brougher directed for Killer Films. Pic co-stars Linus Roach, Perry Reeves, Sophie Curtis and Graham Phillips. READ MORE

Exclusive: After being hinted in a previous press release, we did a little digging and scored some info on Larry Fessenden‘s latest genre project.

Shooting this August in Connecticut, producer-writer-director-actor Fessenden gets back behind the camera for the creature feature Beneath, which he’ll produce through his Glass Eye Pix. Fessenden directed Habit, Wendigo and The Last Winter. He also produced The Innkeepers, House of the Devil, Stake Land and 30+ other films.

Penned by Tony Daniel and Brian D. Smith, here’s the plot crunch we fished out: The story will follow six kids stranded on a rowboat who are attacked by a man-eating fish. The horror takes a page out of Hitchock’s book as, in order to survive, the kids one-by-one vote each other off the boat.

The project is set to premiere on Chiller at a later date.
