A Trailer for The Barge People Emerges from the Watery Gloom

Tagline: "No One Escapes."

The Barge People is the latest film from production house Dark Temple Motion Pictures. Also developed by director Charlie Steeds (Escape from Cannibal Farm, 2017), this is the third film from Dark Temple. Their latest involves a trip on a canal. In the water, flesh-eating creatures lurk just out of sight. This British film is still in post-production. It is expected to release in late 2018, or early 2019. As well, the film stars: Kate Davies-Speak (Deadman Apocalypse, 2015), Mark McKirdy, and Makenna Guyler. The film's first trailer is hosted here, along with the film's official poster.

The long form synopsis mentions a boat crash. Two sisters and their boyfriends run into a canal dwelling family. Unhappy with the results of the conflict, this family breaks into their boat, at night. They torture everyone aboard, with mutant fishmen joining the fray.

The trailer is a good one. It shows some of the film's creature makeup effects and settings. The fish mutants look scaly and bloated. Meanwhile, much of the mayhem is relegated to the small spaces on the two boats. Definitely for fans of indie horror features, a more specific release date will emerge, for The Barge People, soon!

Release Date: Q4, 2018 (UK, DVD, VOD).

Director: Charlie Steeds.

Writer: Christopher Lombard.

Cast: Kate Davies-Speak, Mark McKirdy, Makenna Guyler, Natalie Martins, Matt Swales, Kane Surry, Emma Spurgin Hussey, Tim Cartwright, David Lenik, Carl Andersson, Harrison Nash and Sam Lane.
