Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... uh, okay, maybe not exactly. Check out the U.S. trailer for "The Hatching," a British indie horror flick about a killer croc that is secretly living in the swampy waters of a small, idyllic British town.

Michael Anderson, a veteran commercial director and cameraman who worked for Ridley Scott's production company for the past decade, is making his film debut as the writer-director of this low-budget creature feature.

The darkly comedic thriller stars Andrew Lee Potts (Primeval), Thomas Turgoose (This Is England) and Laura Aikman (The Mysti Show) as young British yokels who discover their tightknit community is being terrorized by a big-ass, man-eating crocodile.

Co-starring Jack McMullen, Danny Kirrane, Muzz Khan, Georgia Henshaw, and Justin Lee Collins, "The Hatching" will be released in the States on DVD, VOD, and Digital HD starting on March 15th.

synopsis:
The film is a Dark Comedy/ Horror set in the Somerset Levels and tells the story of Tim Webber, a teenager at boarding school, and his friends Baghi and Nick, who decide one night on a dare to sneak out of their dormitory and steal crocodile eggs from a nearby zoo. Things take a tragic turn when the plan backfires and Nick ends up being killed by a crocodile. The police on the scene catch Tim and he is expelled from school while taking the rap for Baghi. Fifteen years later, on the death of his father, Tim returns home to Somerset, accompanied by his girlfriend Lucy to run the family stone masonry. But there is a sinister undercurrent to the idyllic village setting that seems to harbour a dark secret. People have been disappearing, and it all seems to be centred around the old Sabre Stone Quarry...
