‘Levels’ (2024) Farpoint Films

This science fiction action story arrives Tuesday August 19. It is written and directed by Adam Stern and stars Cara Gee as Ash and Peter Mooney as Joe with Aaron Abrams David Hewlett and Amanda Tapping in supporting roles.

About two years ago, we heard that producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions, who freaked out movie-goers with the shark thrillers 47 Meters Down and 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, as well as the survival thriller Fall, were teaming up with Gavin Mehrtens and Ashley Holberry of Cowboy Cosmonaut for a new “nature run amok thriller,” a killer alligator movie that was, at the time, called The Bayou. That project has since been retitled Gator Creek and it’s set to be released through the likes of Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube Movies, Sky Store, BT Store, and Microsoft Store on March 24th. A trailer recently dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.

Mehrtens wrote the screenplay for Gator Creek, working from a story by Holberry. That story crash-lands a group of friends in the water-logged, inhospitable Louisiana swamplands where they’re hunted by a fearsome,...

Gator Creek, or The Bayou depending on where you see it, is a new man versus nature thriller which pits survivors of a plane crash in the Louisiana swampland against a horde of mutant gators. The film opens with a DEA raid on a meth lab somewhere in the bayou which results in the gators getting dosed with various chemicals, which seem to be the gator equivalent of steroids, making them bigger, stronger and much more aggressive.

Kyle has other things on her mind however. She recently lost her brother and is about to journey from Texas to the Florida Keys to scatter his ashes. However her friend Alice has sold her car which means involving Malika who Kyle has some negative history with the trip...

From the producers of 47 Meters Down and Fall, the creature feature Gator Creek is headed our way here in early 2025, and Vertigo Releasing has unleashed the official trailer.

Gator Creek is swimming to platforms including Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube Movies, Sky Store, BT Store, and Microsoft Store on March 24, 2025. Watch the trailer below.

In the film, “Vacation turns to disaster when Houston graduate Kyle and her friends survive a plane crash in the desolate Louisiana Bayou, only to discover there’s something infinitely more dangerous lurking in the shallows…a pack of primordial, highly-evolved American alligators.

“Apex predators and perfectly adapted to their native habitat, the gators have zeroed in on Kyle and the survivors – pure killing machines 150 million years in the making. And these gators are living in an environment contaminated by illegal chemicals pumped into their ecosystem.

“They’re bigger, smarter, faster, meaner, and hell-bent on devouring...

A terrifying new creature feature is set to make its mark as Gator Creek prepares for release in the UK and Ireland on March 24. A project from the producers behind Fall and 47 Meters Down, this horror-thriller brings together the brutal survival instincts of classic alligator horrors with a modern twist—these beasts have evolved beyond anything nature ever intended.

Directed by Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson, Gator Creek follows a group of young vacationers whose trip to Louisiana turns into a nightmare after a devastating plane crash leaves them stranded in the remote bayou. What begins as a desperate bid for survival against the elements quickly spirals into something far worse when the group discovers they are not alone. A pack of monstrously evolved alligators, altered by exposure to illegal toxic chemicals, has claimed the swamp as their hunting ground. Faster, smarter, and far more aggressive than their natural ancestors,...
