Up Shallow Creek Without A Paddle

Another new release coming from Breaking Glass' Vicious Circle Label. Synopsis and Trailer below.

May 13, 2011 – Philadelphia, PA – Breaking Glass Pictures has announced the July 5 DVD release of director Jon D. Wagner’s horror film “The Anniversary at Shallow Creek.” Former pro baseball player Eric Fischer and his wife Brianna Lee Johnson  share acting and producing credits for the film, which will be released under the Vicious Circle Films label.

Synopsis: When Sam and Paige decide to escape the stress of medical school for a romantic getaway in the mountains, their four best friends end up tagging along and turning it into a weekend of partying.  Little does the group know that their beautiful mountain lodge has a dark history: exactly one year before, the house was the scene of a grisly double murder – and the killer was never caught.  Now, as night falls and the group drinks beer by a bonfire, a predator hides in the darkness, watching them all through the crosshairs of a sniper rifle.  In an instant, the friends’ night of partying turns into a bloody fight for survival.

“The Anniversary at Shallow Creek” is a slick homage to horror classics and a clever update of the genre that never leads exactly where the audience suspects.  As the kill count rises, the surviving friends find themselves to be pawns in a horrifying game – one that promises to test their survival skills and the strength of their relationships.  

Special features for the DVD will include a behind-the-scenes featurette, interviews and audio commentary with the director, stars and producer.
