First Pics from Alec Gillis’ Harbinger Down the All-Practical Monster FX Film

By June of 2013, their fundraising efforts had surpassed expectations and cameras have been rolling in the Los Angeles area on Harbinger Down with Lance Henriksen starring. Gillis writes and directs. Today, via the film’s Facebook page, the first official photos are starting to leak out – you’ll find them via our gallery here.

Harbinger Down tells of a group of grad students who have booked passage on the fishing trawler Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship’s crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things get downright deadly. It seems that the Russians experimented with tardigrades, tiny resilient animals able to withstand the extremes of space radiation. The creatures survived, but not without mutation. Now, the crew is exposed to aggressively mutating organisms. And after being locked in ice for three decades, the creatures aren’t about to give up the warmth of human companionship

We spoke to Gillis about his film last year here.
