"GRIM, BLOODY, AND UNSETTLING...GREAT FILM!" -- Bryn Hammond, GOREZONE MAGAZINE

Beverly Hills , CA – A frightening excursion into science gone haywire, Growth invades homes when Anchor Bay Entertainment releases the shocking film on DVD September 7th. Featuring such genre favorites as Mircea Monroe (the upcoming Tekken), Christopher Shand (“True Blood”), Nora Kirkpatrick (“Greek”), Brian Krause (“Charmed,” Sleepwalkers), Alexi Wasser (Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever),  Ian Patrick Williams (Re-Animator, Superhero Movie) and Richard Riehle (Office Space, Hatchet), Growth promises an unforgettable journey into the next level of terror! SRP is $26.97, and pre-book is August 11th.

Written and directed by Gabriel Cowan (Breathing Room), Growth begins in 1989, when a breakthrough in advanced parasitic research on Kuttyhunk Island gives scientists a jump in human evolution, endowing subjects with heightened physical and mental strength. But, the experiment went horribly wrong, producing a lethal parasite that mysteriously killed off three quarters of the island’s population, with the survivors fleeing for their lives.

Twenty years later, Jamie Akerman ( Monroe ), who lost her mother in the outbreak, returns with her boyfriend (Krause), step-brother and best friend to sell the family property. There, they uncover the key to Jamie’s disturbing past, and the horrifying secrets long suppressed by the town’s leader Larkin (Riehle). When the past seems to be finally buried, a new strain of parasite emerges, and threatens the island once again. They can slither into – or out of – any orifice in the human body. The final step in evolution has begun…
