After Dark are best known for what is in my opinion the best horror film festival (apart from Frightfest in London of course) After Dark Horrorfest: 8 Films To Die For.
Every year they come up with a great selection of horror films that will find their way to you eventually. And every so often then finance and release one under the After Dark Films label.
Most famous of these would be An American Haunting back in 2006 and followed it up with Captivity and Frontiers among others.
Husk, the sixth chilling feature film as part of the AFTER DARK ORIGINALS is a gruesome tale written and directed by Brett Simmons (Mark Of Love) based on Simmons’ short film of the same name. The film stars Wes Chatham (The Unit, In the Valley Of Elah), C.J. Thomason (The Big Bank Theory), and Devon Graye (Scar 3D and Showtime’s Dexter).
It tells the story of what happens when a murder of crows smash into a windshield causing a car to crash, the group of young friends, inside, are forced to abandon the vehicle. Stranded beside a desolate cornfield, they see a light on in a window and decide to go in search of help. They head into the fields but instead of finding sanctuary they discover something evil and unnatural lurking in the corn.
Here’s hoping that this one is a winner I’m a huge fan of horror and as with every year I end up loving most of the films these guys back for Horrorfest so a film made by them from start to finish is high on my radar.
