New York, NY (April 18, 2012) – IFC Midnight announced today that the company is acquiring North American rights, as well as several international territories, for directors Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin’s sci-fi thriller AREA 407. Formerly titled TAPE 407, the “found footage” film was written by Fabrigar, Wallin, and Robert Shepyer and stars Abigail Schrader, Samantha Lester, and James Lyons. The project was produced by Suzanne DeLaurentiis and Ivan Kavalsky.

AREA 407 features lost footage too real for reality and too disturbing for fiction. The film opens with two teenagers flying from New York to Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Their nightmare begins when their plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight. The relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government-testing area. The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disoriented, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that, unbeknownst to them, are part of the government’s top-secret Mesa Experiment.

First, some fishermen go missing. Then there is the rash of whale carcasses found washed up on the beach. When themurders start, it’s up to two mismatched cops— the charming but somewhat work-shy Ciaran O’Shea and his new by-the-book partner from the mainland, Lisa Nolan—to protect the islanders from the giant, bloodsucking, tentacled aliens that are out to get them. Their only weapon, they discover, is booze. If they want to survive the creatures’ onslaught, everyone will have to get very, very drunk.
