Ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival, a poster and trailer have been released a poster and trailer for writer-directors Kevin and Matthew McManus’ (American Vandal, Cobra Kai) upcoming horror The Block Island Sound which sees the inhabitants of a small town – both humans and wildlife – influenced by a sinister force lurking just off its coast; take a look here…
Something terrifying is happening off the coast of Block Island. A strange force is thriving, influencing residents and wildlife alike. Birds are dropping out of the sky. Some people have been dropping too, into inexplicable emotional collapse. Harry Lynch (Chris Sheffield, THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT) has always been a bit of an outsider in town. Now, he watches in dread as his father (Neville Archambault, 13 CAMERAS) grows increasingly forgetful and confused. And angry. Very, very angry. His sister Audry (Michaela McManus, THE VILLAGE), whose work in marine biology will soon prove invaluable, returns to town with her daughter and immediately sees what Harry sees. Her explorations into the increasingly grisly wildlife phenomena intersects with the triggers of her father’s actions, leading them all towards chilling revelations that no one is prepared for. Revelations that will affect her family in unimaginable ways.
The Block Island Sound will premiere at this year’s virtual Fantasia Film Festival.
