The Ruins director Carter Smith is back with Swallowed, a “slimy, wild queer horror” movie that’s having its World Premiere at this weekend’s Overlook Film Festival, which kicks off today in New Orleans.
Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive teaser trailer premiere that begins after a drug run goes bad – two childhood friends must survive a horrific night in a backwoods hell of drugs, bugs, and obscene intimacy in this queer horror nightmare.
“Set in a remote township on the border between Maine and Canada, it’s a story about friendship and loneliness. About the extremes we are willing to endure to protect the ones we love.
“Benjamin and Dom have been best friends since they were kids – and Benjamin has been in love with Dom for almost that long. But the time has come for him to leave their tiny hometown for a place where he can be himself – and maybe find someone to love him back.
“We meet them on their last, bittersweet night together. Benjamin’s heading to sunny Los Angeles. He’s just got the lead in “Backwoods Boy Bang” and a blazing bright future in gay porn. Dom’s being left behind. His plan is to send Benjamin off with a pocketful of cash. All he has to do is deliver a package over the border for a friend…
“Dripping with blood and pus, Swallowed is queer body horror with all the naked flesh and shocking violations of a classic midnight movie.”
It stars Jena Malone (The Ruins, Neon Demon), Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge), Cooper Koch (Blumhouse’s upcoming They/Them), and debuting talent Jose Colon.
Swallowed will also screen at the forthcoming Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.
