There are few things I can think of worse than either drowning or catching fire. Don’t believe me? Ask Freddy or Jason! Or Ronny Yu for that matter… In any event, on tap right now is the first one-sheet for the new flick The Chamber.
StudioCanal today confirmed its acquisition of the underwater thriller following Friday’s World Premiere announcement within the FrightFest programme.
Shot in Wales, The Chamber stars Johannes Bah Kuhnke (Force Majeure) Charlotte Salt (The Muskateers), James McArdle (The James Plays), and Elliot Levey.
The Chamber is the first feature film from director Ben Parker, who previously made the short Shifter that played at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. The film is produced by Jen Handorf, Paul Higgins, and executive producer Hugh Spearing. Production financing for the film comes from Fields Park Media Partners, Ffilm Cymru Wales, and Great Point Media.
Synopsis:
In The Chamber, a Special Ops unit commandeers a commercial research vessel and its submersible to locate a mysterious item at the bottom of the Yellow Sea. When an explosion causes the sub to overturn and take on water, the crew members begin to understand that not all of them will escape, and a fight for survival ensues.
