They say that drowning is one of the most peaceful ways to die, yet despite this the fear of water is a very real phobia for many people. If you’re among this demographic, you probably will want to skip The Drownsman, just as arachnophobes should have skipped Arachnophobia, starring John Goodman.
After the success of Antisocial, writer/director Chad Archibald and Black Fawns Films have selected Fantasia to make The Drownsman’s World Premiere. The screening will be this Saturday, August 2nd.
Starring Michelle Mylett, Caroline Korycki, Gemma Bird Matheson, The Drownsman tells the story of Madison, who, after almost drowning in a lake, finds herself bound to a life of fear. Madison’s friends attempt an unconventional intervention in which 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 this figure that haunts them, it reaches out and begins dragging them to a horrifying place that they can never come back from.
