Husk is the sixth production from After Dark Films, which puts several youths in jeopardy. An isolated cornfield turns nubile flesh into corn meal and mulch for an ancient purposeless evil. Director Brett Simmons says of the film: "this film is a real throwback to...true 1960s creepiness" (After Dark). And the newest photo, scene left, seems to echo this thought. Husk is slated for a January 2011, after production finishes. More details on this project are below.

The synopsis for the film is here:

"When a murder of crows smash into the windshield causing their car to crash, the group of young friends, inside, are forced to abandon the vehicle. Stranded beside a desolate cornfield, they see a light on in a window and decide to go in search of help. They head into the fields but instead of finding sanctuary they discover something evil and unnatural lurking in the corn" (After Dark).
