Remember quicksand? Movies back in the day probably made you terrified of being sucked down into a patch while walking in the woods, but there’s a good chance you never actually ended up encountering any quicksand in real life. That’s a good thing, of course. But the characters in the upcoming survival thriller Quicksand, you may have guessed, aren’t so lucky.
Deadline reports that Shudder has acquired Quicksand, the premiere set for June 23.
“The English-language Colombian film written by Matt Pitts (Westworld) and directed by Andrés Beltrán (Tarumama) will also be available for streaming on AMC+ in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand,” Deadline notes in today’s report.
“Quicksand stars Carolina Gaitán (Encanto) and Allan Hawco (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) as an American couple on the brink of divorce who travel to the country for a work conference. While on a hike through the rainforest, a storm causes them to become trapped in a pit of quicksand.
“Unable to move, it becomes a struggle for survival as they battle the elements of the jungle and a venomous snake in order to escape.”
“Making Quicksand was such a thrilling and challenging experience. I hope people can relate to the intense emotions Carolina and Allan portrayed so well,” said Beltrán in a statement. “We shot the film on location, in a cold forest in the mountains of Colombia. Although the weather conditions were harsh for the actors and crew, we kept enjoying the process because we wanted to tell this story as real as possible.”
Jason Cherubini, Nicolás Reyes and Sean Patrick Burke produced, with Richard Switzer, Martin Ramos, John Harris and Kris Meyer serving as exec producers.
