Freeze gave us Lovecraftian horrors in the Arctic, now for a followup writer/director Charlie Steeds takes us to the Antarctic to face even more of them in the deep sea thriller Gods of the Deep.

Jim Peters is a professor of astrobiology at Miskatonic University’s London campus. He’s carrying on the work of his father, who vanished under mysterious circumstances while working for The Pickman Corporation. They help fund his research, but that doesn’t mean he trusts them. But when they want him to join an expedition to explore a strange structure discovered in an oceanic trench off Antarctica, he can’t refuse.

The film skips over the two months of training they need without so much as a Rocky-style montage, so the next thing you know...

The Curse of Hobbes House is a United Kingdom shot feature. From director Juliane Block (3 Lives), the film's story focuses on a large inheritance and creatures that roam the Hobbes' Estate. Co-written by Wolf-Peter Arand, this film stars: Mhairi Calvey (Robert the Bruce), Makenna Guyler (The Barge People), Waleed Elgadi and Kevin Leslie. A trailer was just released for the film this week and can be found below. The trailer shows Jane (Calvey) arriving at the estate. She is greeted by her half-sister, Jennifer (Guyler). The inheritance is ready to be divided up, when creatures begin to appear outside. Instead of a windfall, these characters will have to find a way off the grounds, before nightfall. 4Digital Media will show the film in the U.S., this December 15th. In the United Kingdom, indie film fans will have to wait until 2021, when Screenbound Pictures shows the film in theatres. Until then,...

Director: Charlie Steeds. Writer: Christopher Lombard. Cast: Kate Davies-Speak, Mark McKirdy, Natalie Martins, Makenna Guyler, Matt Swales and Kane Surry. Barge People is the third film from United Kingdom director Charlie Steeds (Escape from Cannibal Farm). Another Dark Temple Motion Pictures production, this feature was completed in 2018 and released later that year, in London. Finally in North America, this indie horror title delivers a decent synth' soundtrack to a boat trip, gone very wrong. Meanwhile, writer Christopher Lombard knows his horror well and brings in elements of Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) here, with a cannibal family stalk-and-chase. The make-up effects are spot-on, while the initial set-up is a bit slow. This viewer liked Barge People more on the second playthrough, with the film offering a bloody good time along a deadly canal. Sam Benjafield's music consistently gels well with the film. The soundtrack moves from softer melodies,...

Get ready for The Barge People, a new horror flick that is coming our way this summer. Rlje Films has revealed that the latest from director Charlie Steeds is set to arrive this August. We also have a trailer for the upcoming horror flick, which features grotesque fish people that appear as though they could have been ripped from the mind of H.P. Lovecraft.

The trailer kicks off with a group of friends getting on a barge for a weekend filled with fun. Things start out nice enough but then an ominous warning turns the tide. As one might expect, this warning is not heeded. Then the fish people come into play. It quickly turns into an action-packed, bloody mess as these friends are forced to try and fight off the creatures. There are some The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn vibes, only with an aquatic twist. The trailer...

Blood Bags is the kind of film you’d expect to have seen in the mid to late 80s, emanating out of Italy – you see this film is the closest to an Italian horror I’ve seen in some time. Unfortunately it suffers some of the same foibles those films did: in so much as it often doesn’t make sense and is most definitely a case of style over substance. But when that’s the kind of genre fare you’re homaging, is that a bad thing?

Yes, in his first feature (having directed a number of shorts prior), Emiliano Ranzani pays respect to the like of Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci with a film that echoes the work of those directors,...

A seemingly abandoned mansion turns out to be home to unfathomable evil in the new horror movie Blood Bags, and ahead of its December release from High Octane Pictures, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.

An explorer gets more than she bargained for when she stumbles upon a violent resident of a secluded and spooky home in our exclusive clip from Blood Bags, coming to DVD and Digital on December 3rd via High Octane Pictures.

"Emiliano Ranzani’s Blood Bags, a modern take on classic Italian horror cinema, premieres on DVD and Digital this December.

Amazonian lagoons, Chicago sewer systems, Korean rivers, and the open ocean: all have been beset by submarine monsters with a hankering for human flesh. But until retro-styled man-fish-freakout The Barge People, Britain’s canals had yet to be given the genre treatment.

Directed by Charlie Steeds and penned by Christopher Lombard, this is a fish-out-of-water story in more ways than one. We follow sisters Kat (Kate Davies-Speak) and Sophie (Natalie Martins) and their respective partners Mark (Mark McKirdy) and Ben (Matt Swales), four well-to-do thirty-something city dwellers who hire a barge and set sail down the Kennet and Avon Canal in search of respite from modern-day distractions only to fall foul of a few of the area’s less hospitable denizens.

Britain’s waterways, rendered here in gorgeous golds and greens by cinematographer Michael Lloyd, are a fertile setting for fear and loathing. The narrowboat locale isolates the characters threefold—in a confined environment,...

Sisters Kat and Sophie, and their boyfriends Mark and Ben, are looking forward to a relaxing weekend cruising through the glorious British countryside canals on a luxury barge. Tension arises when businessman Ben refuses to turn off his mobile and fully enter the party spirit and stress is raised further when they damage another barge and its tenants track them down to the local pub. But nothing has prepared them for the intense midnight attack on their vessel by a family of flesh-eating fish mutants who have been lurking in the dark waters, waiting for their next meal.

Much like his 2017 film Escape From Cannibal Farm, Charlie Steeds’ The Barge People is...

Horror described as The Hills Have Eyes meets H.P. Lovecraft.

Toronto-based Raven Banner has boarded worldwide sales rights on the cannibal creature feature The Barge People and will launch sales in Cannes next week.

Charlie Steeds’ horror takes place in the British countryside canal system as two couples head off for a relaxing weekend. Unbeknown to the tourists, they are in the province of flesh-eating fish mutants that lurk below, awaiting their prey.
