Dead in the Water
Directed by Sheldon Wilson
Produced by Dandelion Productions, Out of Africa Entertainment
A claustrophobic creature-thriller set aboard a salvage ship where an idealistic crew's rescue mission turns into a desperate fight for survival against a deadly unknown threat.
The Nereus is a fifty-year-old Ice Breaker, salvaged by an idealistic crew on a mission to catch illegal fisherman. On chase, the crew find themselves well off-course and bearing down on a body mysteriously floating in the middle of the Devil’s Sea. Superstitious or not, the team soon discovers they’ve rescued a deadly creature feeding on the lifeless body. Their new mission—kill or be killed and preferably before they hit land.
