Whether you're afraid of the water or not, finding yourself trapped beneath a pool cover might fall into your "worst nightmare" category, and that's exactly what two sisters face in 12 Feet Deep, the new thriller from Matt Eskandari. With the swimming pool-set film out now from MarVista Entertainment, we caught up with director and co-writer Matt Eskandari for our latest Q&A feature to discuss working with Tobin Bell (Jigsaw from the Saw movies), the challenges of filming underwater, and much more.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Matt. How and when did you and Michael Hultquist first come up with the idea for 12 Feet Deep?
Matt Eskandari: I'm still ashamed to admit it, but even as a grown man, I still cannot swim. I have extreme anxiety around large public pools. The smell of chlorine and the loud reverberated sounds inside get me on edge.

The latest news from Hollywoodland is that two horror powerhouses – Seth Metoyer and Bill Obert Jr’s Dismal Productions and Maria Olsen’s MOnsterworks66 – have joined forces to bring their rabid horror fans Squeal: The Harvest, a dark and sordid feature that will leave audiences gasping and, yes, squealing!
Michael Hultquist (Arena, Victim) has written a cracker of a script exploring murder, mutilation and mayhem, and the cast will be headed by the ultra-creepy Oberst as Uncle Ollie. Oberst is probably best known for winning a Daytime Emmy award for his role in the internet sensation Take This Lollipop, which was actually blocked on Facebook under suspicion of being a malicious app when it was first released. His other on-screen horror triumphs include Children of Sorrow, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, The Shunning and Deadly Revisions.

You know that you are in a strange territory when even the film poster for the film makes you uncomfortable. But directors Matt Eskandari and Michael Hultquist do not stop there. The trailer for Victim is here and if you are at work and have not been fired for showing the one-sheet on your screen then go a little farther and watch one young man feminized. Yes, that is right; this guy has his physical masculinity shaved off via a scalpel (yeesh)!
IFC Films continues to set the bar lower in the category of the depraved, with Martyrs and the Human Centipede a mild bloody pitstop. Now, Victim will offer viewers a chance to watch one man undergo involuntary sexual reconstructive surgery. This film debuts on IFC Films November 17 on video-on-demand (Film). A limited theatrical run is expected shortly thereafter. The chilling details unfold below.

Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz may have lost out on his chance at the lead in director Marcus Nispel's Conan reboot, but it appears he might soon be trading up from barbarian to gladiator anyway. According to THR, Lutz and Samuel L. Jackson are in negotiations to star in the indie action movie Deathgames from Motion Picture Corporation of America, the company's first project to come out of its $50 million movie fund.
Deathgames will be the directorial debut of Jonah Loop, who comes from a visual effects background. Loop, Michael Hultquist, Robert Martinez and Tony Giglio all contributed to the script about a young man (Lutz) who is kidnapped and forced to compete in a deadly gladiator event for the amusement of an online audience. Jackson would play the sinister man orchestrating the event from his computer hideout. Production is expected to begin next month in Louisiana.

We like news about Samuel L. Jackson. Though lately, most of that news also means chatter about Iron Man 2 or The Avengers. Either way, we like to see when the man picks up new work, especially when the project sounds pretty cool.
Jackson is now in talks to work on a new indie action flick titled Deathgames, alongside the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Kellan Lutz. The premise sounds a bit like something we’ve seen before, though. From Heat Vision:
