The Drownsman Set to Seep into Your Home This May

From Black Fawn Films and Breakthrough Entertainment, The Drownsman is set for release May 1st on iTunes and Video-On-Demand and May 12th on DVD and Blu-ray from Anchor Bay Entertainment in the U.S. and Canada.

Director and co-writer Chad Archibald had this to say about his latest film in the world of horror and suspense:

“We set out to make a film that created a new supernatural villain like the classic horror films of Clive Barker and Wes Craven, something that has become rare in the horror industry over the last decade. Similar to Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, Pinhead and Jason Voorhees, we wanted to create a villain with a rich history and a juicy hook that could make an appearance in a few viewers’ nightmares.”

For those of you that are unaware of the plot but want to know a bit more about The Drownsman, here’s a helping hand:

“After almost drowning in a lake, Madison finds herself bound to a life of fear. Unable to describe what happened to her during the moments she was underwater, Madison begins to develop hydrophobia: an abnormal fear of water. Crippled by her post trauma, Madison attempts to shut out the world around her but, her fear intensifies when she begins to be haunted by the vision of an evil figure. After watching her struggle for over a year, Madison’s four friends stage an intervention in a desperate attempt to help. In doing so, they accidentally open a floodgate to a dark place where none of them are safe. As Madison and her friends dive deeper into the dark history of the evil that haunts them, they’re dragged one by one to a horrifying place where they may never return.”
