Director: Neil Mackay. Writers: Sean McAulay and Neil Mackay. Cast: Bryan Larkin, Bob Cymbalski, Hugh Lambe, Damon E. White, Lee Sandford, Robert Nolan, Mark Monroe, and Frank Ieraci. Tagline: "There will be no peace." Battleground was previously called Skeleton Lake and this title can be considered a Canadian film. Shot in Ontario by Canadian director Neil Mackay, a forest soon becomes a murderous quagmire for six armed robbers. A psychopathic veteran from The Vietnam War is using these woods for live target practice. And soon, Battleground is showing its strengths, action sequences and its weaknesses, a sparse storyline. That storyline will not make your head spin. As stated, six thieves have robbed a local business in Michigan State. They have killed a cop. An accomplice tells them to wait it out at a nearby cabin until he can arrange an escape for them. Unfortunately for the criminals, a killer with no rhyme or reason,...

Skeleton Lake PosterNot many thrillers will bring rocket launchers to the trailer, but Dimeworth Films is a cutting edge production company that is doing just that. In this promotional footage for Skeleton Lake six bank robbers take on a man who is armed to the teeth for hidden loot. Trucks explode from rocket propelled grenades and gun fire lights up the screen. And from the trailer, it looks like neither party makes it out of armed conflict unscathed. Check out the reel for this independent release, until Skeleton Lake is available early in 2012.

A team of Eight men, stuck in a logging camp in the middle of winter, come face to face with some android beat-down in Canada's Minus 8, a new indie shocker that takes it's cues from John Carpenter's The Thing, the X-Files and even adds a little Terminator to the mix.
We brought you the sweet looking first trailer back in August and now we've been shown this extended scene. One thing I learned from it? Director Neil Mackay's got a serious gun fetish. Lots of close-ups of barrels and bullets in this one.
Synopsis:
Winter. New Haven Hydro-facility. Eight hydro-workers start to perish one-by-one soon after they arrive. They are being hunted by a ruthless killer who doesn't want them to leave the area alive. As the temperature drop, and supplies run low...the remaining men try to survive or die trying. From the electrifying opening to jaw-dropping ending.
