‘Bone Keeper’ to Deliver “Claustrophobic Tension and Relentless Suspense” [Image]

Variety shares a first image from the creature feature Bone Keeper, while DREAD CENTRAL has the sales art that was on display at the EFM in Berlin this past week.

The British film stars John Rhys-Davies, who is best known for portraying Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Sallah in the Indiana Jones franchise.

Bone Keeper is being sold at the European Film Market by Reinvent Yellow, which said the film delivers “claustrophobic tension and relentless suspense.”

“The film centers on six young friends who enter a remote cave system to investigate the disappearance of several people, only to find themselves being hunted by a mysterious creature that may have inhabited the cave for thousands of years.

“The mystery starts with a fireball crashing into a remote woodland, awakening a terrifying creature hidden in the depths. Fast forward to 1976, and James Wheeler enters a cave determined to uncover the truth — and is never seen again. All that’s found is a single frame of Super 8 film, capturing the silhouette of a creature.

“In the present day, Wheeler’s granddaughter and five other explorers set out to investigate the legend of the ‘Bone Keeper’. But as they venture deeper, they realize they are being hunted, and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. Will they uncover the truth and escape the creature — or become the next missing souls?

“I’ve always been intrigued with caves and caverns and imagined if something lurked down there in the depths,” said writer-director-producer Howard J. Ford (The Ledge).

The production company is Latitude Films. The film’s VFX supervisor is Giordano Aita. As well as Rhys-Davies, the cast includes Sarah Alexandra Marks, Louis James and Tiffany Hannam-Daniels.
