Cinedigm has set their indie eco-horror Unearth (review) for release on Digitial HD platforms July 6th.

The film is set deep in America’s heartland:

“The bond between two neighboring farm families is put to the test when one of them chooses to lease their land to a gas company. In the midst of this growing tension, the land is drilled and something long-dormant and terrifying is released.”

It stars Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Swamp Thing, Escape From New York) and Marc Blucas (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), with Brooke Sorenson (“Modern Family”) and P.J. Marshall (“American Horror Story”).

Directed by John C. Lyons and Dorota Swies from a script by Lyons and Kelsey Goldberg.

There are now two clips available, both featuring horror veteran Adrienne Barbeau, one of which goes full-on body horror!

“It’s not just about fracking but how, in general, we take the goods of nature for granted,” said Swies. “Greed and ignorance have already destroyed our water supplies with chemicals, biological or radiological waste.”

Lyons added, “American farmers have been squeezed harder by our trade wars, and now the pandemic, with crops left rotting in the field when already, over the past decade, their income was down and suicides up. No one is safe from the wrecking ball that is corporate greed. When we destroy our precious water resources, it will eventually affect us in our food and drink. That’s the point that I hope comes across in the film. You may think this is a fictional story about a couple of remote farm families, but environmental injustice eventually affects us all.”

“Audiences can look forward to exquisite cinematography, fascinating characters, in-depth, satisfying performances, and the tensest final 30-minutes of film that I’ve endured in a long time,” says Barbeau. Best known for her work on cult classic horror films like THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and CREEPSHOW, Adrienne Barbeau transforms into a woman searching for a way to save her family in UNEARTH. Soon enough, she learns the true dangers around her are those she doesn’t even know to look for.
