"Fallow" Trailer
Thursday, July 2, 2009
"Fallow" is a film that touts itself as being built upon influences from haunted prairies and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This eyebrow raising trailer suggests it might combine the two impulses in a way never even approached before. While it appears to opt for more of a gruesome path than the traditional weird aesthetic, the unique plot may use gore in a way that enhances the strangeness rather than undermining it.
The film's description accompanying the trailer blow is as follows:**WORLD PREMIERE FANTASIA 2009**
In a remote pocket of the prairie, members of a secretive farm community make a grisly discovery: stillborn calves with barbed wire impossibly threaded through their bodies. It's a sign that a generations-old pact between the community and a powerful presence in the very soil itself is about to be broken by an outsider, and the consequences will be horrifying. Drawing upon elements of H.P. Lovecraft and prairie gothic fiction, FALLOW is a new mythology born in the land, in the flesh, and in the blood.
