FROM HAMSTERS & EELS TO DARK HOLLOW

Bram Stoker Award winning US horror author Brian Keene, and British Fantasy Award winning writer Paul Finch combine forces to create Dark Hollow, a return to the classic horror/monster movie based on Brian Keene's best selling novel of the same name.

After two miscarriages, writer Adam Shay's marriage is on the rocks. On a walk through local woods rumored to be haunted, Adam come across a strange sight, a statue of a half-man, half-goat creature, a satyr from ancient legends, which comes to life before his eyes. Soon, all the women in town begin disappearing, summoned to the woods by the satyr's hypnotic piping. When Adam gathers the menfolk to hunt down the satyr and retrieve the women, what they uncover is an unholy evil bent on protecting itself and spreading its seed.

Award winning short film director Paul Campion (Eel Girl & Night of the Hell Hamsters) will direct from a script by Paul Finch, with Elisabeth Pinto (Eel Girl, Night of the Hell Hamsters) producing.

Andrea Clarke (Dog Soldiers) will cast the film, with Shane Rangi (Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings) attached to play the role of the evil satyr Hylinus, and New Zealand's Oscar winning Weta Workshop attached to design and create the creature makeup.

Shooting will take place in Kent, England, with Richard Bluck (Black Sheep, Lord of the Rings) attached as Director of photography and shooting on 16mm film for a 35mm theatrical release.
