Starring Dennis Quaid in a villainous turn and coming off a recent national theatrical release, this gripping psychological thriller entwines cold-blooded murder, sinister secrets and modern hauntings on Maple Street.
Directed by Martin Guigui and written by the late Bruce Wilkinson, Beneath the Darkness is a thriller pitting high school kids against a psychotic killer in a community where adults blindly refuse to see the ominous dangers right before their eyes. Along with Quaid, Tony Oller co-stars as Travis and Aimee Teegarden co-stars as Abby.
In the film Quaid plays Ely, the well-respected mortician of rustic Smithville Texas, where he was once a heralded high school football star. Among the kids, however, he is legendary for a more sinister reason — rumors that his house is haunted. The truth is, this pillar of the community is actually a flesh-and-blood monster who buries his victims alive; a sociopath who befriends adults and police while openly flaunting his murderous intentions to the youths. Beware Elys charming smile it may be the last thing you see, looking up from your freshly dug grave…
Bonus features on Beneath the Darkness Blu-ray and DVD include a behind-the-scenes featurette and the original theatrical trailer.
