Millennium Entertainment brings Dead Within to DVD and VOD on September 9th. Today, we're presenting a three-minute from the film which you can now watch here.

“I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy.” It may be hard to believe, but it’s been thirty years since Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger said those words to Heather Langenkamp’s Nancy in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Taking place at London’s Vue West End, the 15th Film4 FrightFest will run from August 21st – 25th. In addition to celebrating the 30th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund will also be unveiling his latest film, The Last Showing.

Dead Within is a smallish indie horror feature from first time director Ben Wagner. The film takes place after a viral outbreak, which leaves the world in ruins. Set primarily in one set, Dead Within will release later this year, through Millenium Entertainment. A trailer for the film has just been released. For more on the story, a couple reside within an isolated cabin. Afraid to go outside and afraid to starve to death, this pair must struggle each day, to stay alive. Horrors lurk just outside their door and an airborne virus threatens to end their lives, or change them into something truly monstrous. The trailer for Dead Within is hosted below. The clip takes awhile to gain momentum. But when it does, film fans can see that many of the film's threats are hosted offscreen or within (psychological). Fans of indie horror features are encouraged to take a look below.

We told you yesterday that Ben Wagner's latest horror film, Dead Within, was scooped up for distro via Millennium Entertainment, and right now we have some exclusive stills and more for you!
“I was repairing a window in my house. I was going to have to break it out of the frame and figured, why not film someone busting through it? I was going to just make a short film about a home invasion, but it quickly grew into something bigger,” director Ben Wagner tells us.
"The majority of Dead Within was shot over a 72-hour period. The actors developed the backstory and the first scenes that establish this new world. After shooting these initial scenes, the actors were isolated in the cabin where they improvised the second act. They did not know how the story would develop beyond the establishing scenes. Beats were pre-planned and partially scripted, and...

If you were holed up in a cabin with your loved one during the apocalypse, what horrors would you find outside your long unopened door? That’s the question at the heart of writer/director Ben Wagner’s latest film, Dead Within, which Millennium Entertainment recently picked up.
A release date has not yet been set for this psychological horror film, but we’ll let Daily Dead readers know when one is determined. To get real results out of his actors, Ben Wagner filmed the movie in the tradition of The Blair Witch Project, placing stars Amy Cale Peterson and Dean Chekvala (both of whom helped write the script) in a real locked cabin wherein they had no idea what horror the filmmakers would throw at them. In addition to the film, a prequel comic illustrated by artist Alfonso Ruiz will soon be available, perhaps expanding on the apocalyptic events...
