Anchor Bay Home Entertainment will release on Blu-ray Chad Archibald's The Drownsman (2014), starring Michelle Mylett, Caroline Palmer, and Gemma Bird Matheson. The release will be available for purchase on May 12.
After almost drowning in a lake accident, Madison (Michelle Mylett, Antisocial) develops hydrophobia: an abnormal fear of water. After shutting the world and her friends out for over a year, her friends attempt an intervention. But, instead of curbing Madison's fear, they unknowingly unleash something far worse: The vision of serial killer – turned- supernatural psychopath Sebastian Donner – known as "The Drownsman" – who begins to stalk the women one by one, dragging them into a lair of submerged torment from which there is no escape.
The Drownsman has captivated audiences at film festivals all over the world, including Fantasia Film Festival, Toronto After Dark, Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival and Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre Film Festival. Accolades include winning Best Horror Feature at Buffalo Dreams and Best Feature at Buenos Aires RSFF.
