Word of advice: If you need shelter from a forest, don’t seek it in an abandoned mining shaft like the characters in the movie Blackburn do. The creepiest looking place that you can find is probably not the best place to hide.

Blackburn hits DVD in August from Tombstone Entertainment.

From the Press Release:
A 3Brane Entertainment production, Blackburn involves a group of friends who are trapped in an old mining town. From a script by Nastasha Baron and directed by Lauro Chartrand, this title stars Lochlyn Munro (Poker Night), Jen and Sylvia Soska (“Hellevator”), Emilie Ullerup (A Little Bit Zombie), Sarah Lind (Wolf Cop), and Calum Worthy.

In the story, a forest fire forces five friends to take a detour. Lost and afraid, they seek shelter in an old mining shaft. But someone — or something — lives in these dark depths. Now, this fivesome will have to fight back against mutated miners and demented psychopaths if they hope to continue living.

The DVD cover art reveals more of the film’s story. The Blackburn Asylum, long since closed, still haunts the local woods. Its residents, forced out by its closure, roam inside this broken down building. Promising to “take people,” many of the deformed monsters can be seen in this official artwork. And more on Blackburn will be revealed this summer as the film nears its August 2nd release date.

Synopsis:
A forest fire and rockslide trap five bickering college friends in a small Alaskan ghost town with a horrifying history. When they seek refuge inside the torched ruins of Blackburn Asylum, they must fight to survive as the angry inhabitants slaughter the friends one-by-one.
