Creepy New Trailer for VALLEY OF DITCHES Drops

It’s said that everything’s bigger in Texas, but the stripped down new trailer for Valley of Ditches manages to deliver the horror with nothing but two great actors and a dusty mountain top. Starring Amanda Todisco as a woman left to die in an open grave and Russel Bradley Fenton as the man who left her there, Valley of the Ditches looks to be an interesting take on a tale as old as cinema. I’m always a sucker for a good dramatic dialogue, and Fenton’s discussion in the trailer of murdering his brother (and why it felt so right) is enough to give the sturdiest of spines a chill. Director Christopher James Lang, a well known producer behind several of your favorite true crime and paranormal tv shows, might just be delivering his magnum opus. And for everyone that hates the desert as much as I do, this just might be the scariest indie film released this year. Valley of
