'The Reeds' Joins After Dark Horrorfest 4

The Reeds is lucky number seven in the After Dark Horrorfest 4 lineup, which opens January 29, 2010 and runs for one week. Nick Cohen directs the film and Chris Baker and Simon Sprackling wrote the script based on a story by Chris Baker.

The cast for The Reeds includes Anna Brewster, O.T. Fagbenle, Will Mellor, Danny Caltagirone, Scarlett Johnson and Emma Catherwood.  Geoff Bell appears as Mr. Croker.

“In The Reeds, a weekend boating trip through the Norfolk Broads becomes a deadly ordeal for six 20-something year old friends who lose their bearings in the vast reedy tidewaters.  Chances of escape and hopes for survival diminish as inexplicable forces terrorize the lost and terrified group.”

The film joins the recently announced The Final which you can take a peek at here. Although this film doesn’t really do much for me, the line up looks decent and I look forward to the festival each year.

Earlier this year it was announced that After Dark Films is making its first foray into television by partnering with Lionsgate and IFC to co-produce the best selling book series, Anita Blake,Vampire Hunter, written by Laurell K. Hamilton. More vampires. Good or bad?
