Joel Bender is a guy who’s been directing pictures for over thirty years. And even with a rather scant filmography over that time span, including more dreck than actual quality, the man has done some interesting work. After making GAS PUMP GIRLS (which I endorse without even seeing, frankly), dude meandered into the world of horror with THE RETURNING, THE IMMORTALIZER and MIDNIGHT KISS before going away to do TV for about a decade. Well, dude’s back with a new horror joint called INTO THE DARKNESS, for which we have a promo one-sheet and 4 character posters. Cop a dose below!
Written by Jade and Paul Moser – INTO THE DARKNESS follows:
A group of friends that descend upon a remote wilderness area in celebration of Ridge and Allie’s return after a year spent out West. Their decision to embark on a short exploration of a nearby cave turns into a horrific struggle for survival.
Mischa Barton (whatever happened to that one), John Schneider, Kiowa Gordon, Alexa Nikolas, Louis Mandylor, Toby Hemingway, Russ Russo, Kayla Perkins and Jessica Andres all star in the flick.
