‘The Outwaters’ – Prequel and Epilogue Shorts ‘Card Zero’ & ‘File VL-624’ Now on SCREAMBOX!
We all die in the dark.
Reminiscent of early found footage like The Blair Witch Project with an injection of Event Horizon and Gaspar Noé’s hellish Into the Void, The Outwaters, now streaming on SCREAMBOX, has been described by many as what it must be like to experience death.
Love it or hate it, we here at Bloody Disgusting are extremely proud of Robbie Banfitch‘s film. Ambiguous, dangerous, and brutally unapologetic, The Outwaters is different in a sea of the same. We hope that horror fans turned off the lights, jacked up the volume, and allowed themselves to sink into the experience that’s nothing short of nerve-shredding.
If you haven’t yet, now is the time…
The Outwaters follows a foursome who set out to make a music video in the middle of the desert, and while their trip starts out uneventful, their peace is eventually disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior.
What happens next is a mind-bending trip through terror that is nothing short of disorienting and absolutely frightening.
The Outwaters spends a lot of time building the characters before things take a turn for the worse, and for those who want more, we have a surprise for you!
SCREAMBOX is not only streaming The Outwaters, but it is now the home to both a prequel and epilogue – Card Zero & File VL-624!
Card Zero is a prequel short film that’s derived from a memory card that police obtained at Robbie’s apartment. It’s self-contained and carries more character context. It’s a foreboding little slice-of-life love story with an air of doom hanging over it, considering you know what’s going to happen in The Outwaters. Card Zero also explains why they’re filming a lot of stuff, for those who need an explanation: “Before disappearing in the Mojave Desert, Robbie Zagorac captured love, life, and heartbreak in a video diary.”
On the other hand, File VL-624, an epilogue to The Outwaters, features restored footage from all four of Robbie Zagorac’s memory cards. Property of Mojave County Police Department, File VL-624 is all the restored files (some corrupted) they couldn’t originally get off cards.
Here’s the proper viewing order:
1. The Outwaters
2. Card Zero
3. File VL-624

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
