Michelle May is an American actress and singer. She’s been featured in multiple films, most notably Bikini Model Academy and countless Robbie Banfitch projects. From what I’ve gathered she and Robbie are longtime friends and based on her hippie-like mentality as well as her beautiful singing voice she was chosen to take a trip to The Outwaters.
Written and directed by Robbie Banfitch, The Outwaters takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares. The film plays out over three memory cards found in a sun-drenched section of the Mojave Desert. The footage within is that of a foursome, who set out to make a music video while camping, led by a charismatic LA filmmaker.
Their trip starts out uneventful, though their peace is occasionally disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.
A throwback to the early days of the found-footage genre, Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting released The Outwaters in theaters on February 9. The buzz around the film has been growing steadily since its successful festival run and culminated when its teaser trailer was shown ahead of Terrifier 2.
The Outwaters will be available exclusively on VOD through Screambox on February 17.
You have been warned.
