UNDERNEATH is a grassroots, self-financed anthology comprised of five chapters, an epilogue, and several mind-bending vignettes that are all bound together by something unnatural and sinister. BREACH (the vignette sequence): written & directed by John Nicol (CHANNEL ZERO) focuses on "...An unstable individual who is convinced that ominous cracks in his basement may in fact be a breach into Hell itself… Is he in direct communication with demons, or has he opened a portal into their realm of terror? Poisoned by the revelation of five tales, he succumbs to the mental strain on his increasingly damaged mind." CHAPTER #1...6 AM: written & directed by John Nicol... "A family man is running out of a medication that keeps his otherworldly visions at bay. Day by day, visions of murder and demonic possession take hold as Daniel succumbs to a maddening revelation.” CHAPTER #2...Ms. Shapen: written & directed by ANDRE BECKER (SECRET SANTA). “A seemingly normal television set transmits the haunted memories of a killer.” CHAPTER #3...PASSAGES: written & directed by John Nicol... “A has-been author discovers that passages in his writing can cause intense visions of madness…and that he can inflict the visions upon others.” CHAPTER #4...Certain Point Of View: written by John Nicol & directed by Cory Ivanchuk... "An experimental blast of demonic madness as seen through the eyes of those possessed." CHAPTER #5...I Can Change: written & directed by Andre Becker... "A deranged young man is convinced he can transform into a demonic creature.”
EPILOGUE...Entropy: written & directed by John Nicol... "another experimental entry that wraps up the entire anthology... a haunting piece that seals the experience."
