‘The Outwaters’ Teaser: New Disturbing Found Footage Film Will Burrow Under Your Skin

The Outwaters

Robbie Banfitch’s upcoming film The Outwaters is what found footage fans dream of. Sparse with plot and soaked with horrific vibes, it pushes the boundaries of what found footage is. It brings the blood and burrows into your brain. Now, Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting, and SCREAMBOX have released the first harrowing teaser for the film.

Read the full synopsis below:

The Outwaters takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares. The film plays out over three memory cards found in a sun-drenched section of the Mojave Desert. The footage within is that of a foursome, who set out to make a music video while camping, led by a charismatic LA filmmaker. Their trip starts out uneventful, though their peace is occasionally disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.

Now check out the chilling new teaser:

In her review of The Outwaters, Dread Central’s Mary Beth McAndrews wrote:

With The Outwaters, Banfitch imagines what happens to the campers that disappear in films such as The Blair Witch Project. This isn’t simply a tale about a mysterious disappearance. It’s about a disturbing descent into some sort of interdimensional hell that’s drenched in blood, guts, and dirt, illuminated with what’s essentially a penlight. The movie is a massive risk and thanks to Banfitch’s creativity and dedication to truly going for it, it works. The Outwaters isn’t afraid to get weird and make you feel deeply unsettled. It’s a contender for one of the best movies of 2022 due to just that. If you think you know found footage, then you need to see The Outwaters. It’ll make you a believer in the subgenre.

Angela Basolis, Michelle May, Scott Schamell, and Banfitch star in the film. The Outwaters features original music by Salem Belladonna. Beau J. Genot and Banfitch produced the film with Robert Abramoff serving as the executive producer.

Cinedigm plans to release The Outwaters in theaters early next year followed by an exclusive launch on SCREAMBOX.
