From the Press Release:

For his fourth and most daring film, director Douglas Schulze (Mimesis, Dark Fields) brings us The Dark Below. This tense, fear-driven film utilizes minimal dialogue to portray a woman (Lauren Mae Shafer) struggling for survival beneath a frozen lake while a serial killer (David G.B. Brown) stalks her from the surface.

Parade Deck Films is releasing the survival thriller in select theaters beginning March 10, 2017.

The Dark Below is brought to life by a brilliant, bone-chilling soundtrack by multi-platinum recording artist Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill, The Beastie Boys), Robert Skates" visually astonishing cinematography, Schulze"s strong directorial instincts, and a searing performance from Veronica Cartwright (Alien, "24: Legacy"). The Dark Below has played several high profile genre film festivals including Fantasia International Film Festival, FrightFest UK, Monsters of Film in Sweden, and Toronto After Dark.

"I got involved with this project because Doug Schulze knows genre, and he knows film. In today"s environment The Dark Below is different. It is a classic serial killer movie but combined with an independent vision from the heartland of America. It should stand out among the movies available today." - Seth Willenson, Executive Producer

"From the second I saw the film, I knew we had to have it and am excited to see how audiences and critics alike react to such a brilliant and boldly creative film." - Michael Ingram, President of Parade Deck Films.
