Deadline can reveal an exclusive first look at Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things) in The Swallow, filmmakers Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s (Pet Sematary) backwoods horror. The movie has recently wrapped principal photography in Oregon, USA.
Van Dien stars as Ziggy, who, along with her four friends, journeys out on a camping trip to a picturesque remote forest. But trespassing into an off-limits area, they awaken an uncanny terror in the woods… and a ravenous hunger from within the Earth. Soon, the ground itself is trying to swallow anything and anyone it touches and now the group have nowhere to run as every step they take could be their last.
The Swallow is written and directed by Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer (Pet Sematary) and produced by James Harris (47 Meters Down), Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S franchise) and John Finemore (Watcher).
Rounding out the cast are Jack Wright (A Bloody Night), Tayler Buck (Annabelle: Creation), Kalama Epstein (The Fabelmans), and Kayla DiVenere (Love, Victor series).
The movie marks a return for directorial duo Kölsch and Widmyer following their remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, which grossed $113M worldwide for Paramount. Their debut Starry Eyes was an award winner at SXSW. [source]
