Consider me grossed out.
Yeah, I know it reeks of SLiTHER, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, and a bunch of other flicks, but that doesn’t mean seeing a worm burrow into someone’s foot, or squirm out of their ear, isn’t still f*ckin’ gross…
I’m talking about GROWTH, the creepy-crawly horror flick from director Gabriel Cowan. We’ve got the poster (above) and trailer (below) for you, and though I think the trailer shows too much, it’s still worth a look. Read on for the synopsis.
In 1989, a breakthrough in advanced parasitic research on Cuttyhunk Island, gave scientists a jump in human evolution. Initial tests proved promising as subjects were experiencing heightened physical and mental strength and awareness. But, something in the experiment went horribly wrong and the island mysteriously lost three quarters of its population.
Jamie Akerman (Mircea Monroe, Tekken) fled the outbreak, which took her mothers life, twenty years ago. She now returns with her boyfriend (Brian Krause, Charmed) step brother (Chris Shand, Bumper) and best friend (Nora Kirkpatrick, Crashing), to sell the family property. There, they uncover the key to Jamie’s disturbing past, and the horrifying secrets long suppressed by the town leader, Larkin (Richard Riehle, Hatchet).
Now, a new strain of parasite has emerged, and threatens the island once again. Jamie struggles to survive and escape the obsessive pursuit of the local islanders who suspect that she has inherited more than she could ever have imagined….
GROWTH stars Mircia Monroe (pictured below the trailer), Brian Krause, Chris Shand, Nora Kirkpatrick, Richard Riehle, Alexi Wasser, and Lou Richards. There is no release date as of yet.
