THE DARK HAMMOCK

Family/ Suspense- Feature

Florida Premiere-USA

 

Coming of age film set in the early 1990's -
In a time of less connectivity but more adventure. Teenagers, Chad and Ryan, take another step toward their own perception of manhood and devise a plan to invite their girlfriends on a no-parents camping trip.
Things seem to be going perfectly when the kids stumble upon a duffle bag of money in the forest. The situation takes a turn for the worse when the suburban teens find themselves mixed up with a nefarious group of locals and their crime boss - the newly elected sheriff Baker.
Amongst all the chaos an evil presence lurks deep inside the forest. Two Vietnam vets and several townies are convinced the origins are extraterrestrial and not of this planet.
Set in South/Central Florida in the early nineties, Dark Hammock highlights the independent streak of the era and the importance of having your friends back. It’s a throwback to all the Latch-Key kids who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s.​​​
