Beneath The Darkness starring Dennis Quaid finally scores itself a release date

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

You might remember back in June a trailer for BENEATH THE DARKNESS (which you can reacquaint yourself with below) was released. Well since then we have heard jack about the film, but I bid you some good news.

The film finally has itself a release date; it will hit theaters January 6th of next year. It has also been rated R for ‘some violence and language’. That seems promising, although January is ‘dump month’ so that does not bode well for the film.

Check out the longer release synopsis: In Beneath the Darkness, Ely Vaughn (Quaid) is a pillar of the community in tiny Smithville, Texas. The town’s mortician, Ely has been revered since his days as the high school’s star quarterback. But since the tragic death of his wife two years earlier, Ely has withdrawn from his neighbors, while local teens spread stories of supernatural goings on at Ely’s mansion—which is also the funeral home. When high school friends Travis, Abby, Brian and Danny decide to check out the rumors, they are shocked to see the supposedly grieving widower dancing with a mysterious woman behind the curtains of his bedroom window. Their curiosity aroused, the four teens wait for Ely to leave the house before breaking in to investigate. But instead of finding clues to the woman’s identity, they stumble on a grotesque, long-hidden secret. The sadistic mortician next door will now stop at nothing to literally bury his past.

Dennis Quaid will star alongside Aimee Teegarden (below), Tony Oller, Devon Werkheiser and Stephen Lunsford.
