Dead Within is a smallish indie horror feature from first time director Ben Wagner. The film takes place after a viral outbreak, which leaves the world in ruins. Set primarily in one set, Dead Within will release later this year, through Millenium Entertainment. A trailer for the film has just been released. For more on the story, a couple reside within an isolated cabin. Afraid to go outside and afraid to starve to death, this pair must struggle each day, to stay alive. Horrors lurk just outside their door and an airborne virus threatens to end their lives, or change them into something truly monstrous. The trailer for Dead Within is hosted below.

After shooting these initial scenes, the actors were isolated in the cabin where they improvised the second act. They did not know how the story would develop beyond the establishing scenes. Beats were pre-planned and partially scripted, and...

A release date has not yet been set for this psychological horror film, but we’ll let Daily Dead readers know when one is determined. To get real results out of his actors, Ben Wagner filmed the movie in the tradition of The Blair Witch Project, placing stars Amy Cale Peterson and Dean Chekvala (both of whom helped write the script) in a real locked cabin wherein they had no idea what horror the filmmakers would throw at them. In addition to the film, a prequel comic illustrated by artist Alfonso Ruiz will soon be available, perhaps expanding on the apocalyptic events...
