Nearly a year ago, we reported that director Crater Smith and actress Jena Malone are reuniting for the upcoming horror film Swallowed, which Smith describes as a “slimy wild queer horror nightmare of a movie.” The movie has just made its debut at the Overlook Film Festival, followed by the release of its trailer.

In the indie film, “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.”

Malone stars alongside Mark Patton (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge), Cooper Koch (Power Book II: Ghost), Roe Pacheco (Bloody Pi), and newcomers Michael Shawn Curtis and Jose Colon.

Smith made his directorial debut with the oh-so creepy 2008 film The Ruins, in which Malone starred, about a group of friends on vacation who visit a remote Myan temple only to face hostile locals and terrifying vines that mimic sounds and kill. You can now watch The Ruins on Peacock, Hulu, Prime Video, VOD, and Digital.
