Looking a bit like The Hills Have Eyes meets H.P. Lovecraft, Toronto-based Raven Banner has boarded worldwide sales rights on the cannibal creature feature The Barge People, reports ScreenDaily. It will be repped at the forthcoming Cannes market.
The Charlie Steeds-directed film centers on a group of friends who find themselves preyed upon by flesh-eating fish mutants that would be right at home in Lovecraft’s stories.
“Set on the canals amid the glorious British countryside, two sisters and their boyfriends head off for a relaxing weekend away on a barge, unaware of the flesh-eating fish mutants lurking in the water, ready and waiting to feed.”
