‘Thirst’ Exclusive Trailer: There’s Something In The Water
In his feature film debut Thirst, writer and director Eric Owen tackles the ec0-horror subgenre with an unfortunately prescient twist as pharmaceuticals contaminate a local water supply. While there aren’t any zombies, there are still deadly effects of such a disaster as people turn on each other in the face of tragedy.
Read the full synopsis below:
Jose Martinez, a lawyer with a history of substance abuse, struggles with insomnia while he and his wife, Lucy, seek fertility treatments in hopes of having their first baby. Jose’s insomnia worsens, causing him to act erratically, which concerns Lucy, his sister Vicky, and her girlfriend Lisa. Insomnia spreads throughout the town, with some residents becoming unhinged and dangerous.
Eventually, it is revealed that the local water supply has been contaminated with amphetamines that were leaked from a pharmaceutical plant during a recent power outage. Panic takes over the town, as bottled water and gasoline supplies are fully depleted. As the situation becomes more dire, Jose, Vicky, Lisa, and Lucy head to an abandoned ranch on the outskirts of town with an uncontaminated pond. While this is initially their salvation, nefarious characters descend upon the pond, claiming it as their own, and chaos ensues.
