Get ready for a slimy combo of special effects, breakneck suspense and inescapable disaster when SOMETHING BENEATH oozes its way onto DVD September 9th August 26 from Genius Products and RHI Entertainment. A massive cellular organism, highly intelligent and deadly, is living in the sewer system beneath a conference center and it’s up to Kevin Sorbo (TV’s “Hercules,” “Avenging Angel”), Natalie Brown (Dawn of the Dead, TV’s “Sophie”), Peter MacNeill (A History of Violence), and Brendan Beiser (TV’s “Stargate SG-1”) to figure out how to kill it before it kills them. The DVD will be available for $14.95 SRP. Synopsis inside.
A new conference center has been constructed despite warnings by biologist Dr. Connelly (Beiser) that the grounds are toxic. At the center’s inaugural Clean Planet conference, one of the delegates is found dead, his face frozen in fear. Adding to the odd disturbances is a mysterious oily black slime oozing its way around the conference site. It’s soon discovered that the slime amassing on the lake front, clogging drains, seeping into rooms, and sliding along halls is a massive cellular organism living in the sewer system–highly intelligent, and capable of inducing fearful hallucinations in its victims. When the truth is revealed, Douglas Middleton (Sorbo), a priest attending the conference, joins security chief Mr. Deadmarsh (MacNeill) in evacuating guests. As the panic spreads, so does the slime–a pulsating, dripping, moving, inescapable, ecological disaster that is awakening everyone’s worst nightmares.
