David Howard Thornton, known for his chilling performance as Art the Clown in the Terrifier films, takes on a new kind of horror in Screamboat, a slasher that turns an ordinary ferry ride into a blood-soaked nightmare.
A late-night commute across New York’s waters spirals into chaos when a seemingly harmless mouse goes on a killing spree, picking off passengers one by one. Trapped at sea, the survivors must work together to stop the tiny terror before none of them make it to shore.
Joining Thornton is a cast packed with horror talent, including Kailey Hyman (Terrifier 2), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), Jesse Posey (Selena: The Series), Jarlath Conroy (Day of the Dead), Jesse Kove (D-Day: Battle of Omaha Beach), and Brian Quinn (Impractical Jokers). The film’s creature effects come from Quantum Creation FX, the team behind The Last Voyage of the Demeter, with inspiration from Avatar: The Way of Water artist Christian Cordelia.
Directed by Steven LaMorte (The Mean One) and co-written with Matthew Garcia-Dunn (Silent Hill: Ascension), Screamboat delivers a mix of dark humour and gruesome horror that will have audiences thinking twice before their next ferry ride.
Distributed by Signature Entertainment, Screamboat docks exclusively at Vue cinemas on 2 April.
