[Exclusive] What Did Robbie See? Exclusive Poster and Clip for Terrifying Found Footage Horror Film 'The Outwaters'!

Once in awhile, a film comes along that defines a subgenre of filmmaking and, for me, The Outwaters delivers on the promise of found footage in way we don’t typically see in that style of filmmaking. The Outwaters thrilled during its run on the festival circuit. I reviewed it out of Panic Fest and said, “Where most found footage films end, The Outwaters pushes through, taking us on a monstrous and unearthly odyssey through madness. It’s a surprising and vicious film and one of the best found footage films I’ve seen in a long time.” You can also listen to our Scarred for Life podcast interview with filmmaker Robbie Banfitch about The Outwaters and a movie that traumatized him as a kid.

A throwback to the early days of the found-footage genre, Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting are releasing The Outwaters in theaters beginning February 9. The buzz around the film has been growing steadily since its successful festival run and culminated when its teaser trailer was shown ahead of Terrifier 2, which was also distributed by Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting, this past October. Following its theatrical run, the Company plans to release The Outwaters exclusively on its horror streaming service as a SCREAMBOX Original.

Written and directed by Robbie Banfitch, The Outwaters takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares. The film plays out over three memory cards found in a sun-drenched section of the Mojave Desert. The footage within is that of a foursome, who set out to make a music video while camping, led by a charismatic LA filmmaker. Their trip starts out uneventful, though their peace is occasionally disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.

"It's been a longtime dream to make a scary movie," says Banfitch. “I'm grateful that people will have a chance to watch The Outwaters on the silver screen. Because we need that. All of us. Somehow, terror feels good in a place like this."

To celebrate its release, I’m thrilled to share both an exclusive character poster focusing on Robbie Zagorac (Robbie Banfitch) and an exclusive clip!
