From its opening images of the Dakota territories in 1879, The Burrowers appears to be every inch a Western. But in the hands of writer/director J.T. Petty, The Burrowers probes horrors that no Western could ever fathom. What begins as a tale worthy of John Ford – a band of hardened ranchers set off into the wilderness to rescue a family kidnapped by a Native American tribe – turns into a terrifying encounter with a gruesome species that’s far from human.

The film makes it's US PREMIERE at Fantastic Fest in Austin on Sept. 21st, then plays at SCREAMFEST in October before PREMIERING ON DVD April 2009.
