We all know that David R. Ellis is hard at work right now on SHARK NIGHT 3D (or whatever it’s going to be called), but what does the filmmaker have planned after that? Well according to a new website that just popped up it seems he’ll be working on a nifty little vacation slasher!
Intrigued? Of course you are! The project is called THE BRIAR LAKE MURDERS and thanks to the film’s official website the only info we have available is the banner above, the fact that Ellis is directing with Daniel Pearl serving as Director of Photography and the following synopsis:
A group of rude and insensitive city kids take a weekend vacation to Briar Lake, a picturesque town overlooking a beautiful lake, which to most outsiders would appear to be a peaceful small town. Having zero respect for anyone outside of their group, they are confronted by the hostile and eccentric residents. Following a bizarre experience in the town’s diner, they quickly retreat to the protection of their borrowed vacation lake house, where they plan to let loose and celebrate their weekend out of the city.
After an unexpected visit from the local police, the long weekend is cut short. Two of the locals have been brutally murdered, and this group of “outsiders” become the prime suspects. When the string of murders spins out of control, the group must come together to unravel Briar Lake’s sordid past and uncover the hidden secrets.
A vacation is always fun until you die!
So what do you guys say? Now it’s probably going to be a little ways away still until BRIAR LAKE MURDERS gets rolling but you can bet we’ll be keeping our eyes on this one for more updates! In the meantime be sure to spit some bullets below on what you think of the project so far.
