The last time that I checked, The Ward was a total suckfest of a movie so, marketing your next horror release by associating yourself with a failure isn’t exactly a high selling point for audiences. The psychological horror Dark Feed comes from the screenwriters behind the John Carpenter flop, giving horror fans a body of work that feels more like an extended episode of Masters of Horror rather than a legitimately terrifying film.
Dark Feed follows a film crew as they experience weird occurrences on location at a closed-down mental hospital. Eventually, the evil that lurks inside the walls begins to feed off of the individuals and take over, causing people to behave strangely. Sound familiar? That’s because the scenario has been done before in films like Grave Encounters and Session 9, and done with better results.

Shawn and Michael Rasmussen - you might recall they scripted John Carpenter's The Ward - have wrapped up Dark Feed, their own directorial effort.
A sales trailer and poster have been revealed in anticipation of the Cannes Film Market. The pic is being handled by Ronna Wallace (Reservoir Dogs) at Eastgate Pictures. You can find the trailer after the jump along with a larger look at the image you see on the left.
The story tells of a film crew that moves into an abandoned psychiatric hospital with a shadowy past to shoot a low budget horror film, they get more than they bargained for. The late nights and lack of sleep begin to take a toll, and the longer this crew works, the more the leaky, wet building seems to be coming back to life, feeding off its new inhabitants.
