Cinedigm has released the official trailer for The Ravine ahead of its release in April. In the intense thriller, a double homicide rocks a peaceful community, and with more questions than answers, everyone is left to wonder what really happened. You can get a feel for the picture by watching the trailer below.
The official synopsis for the film, which is inspired by true events, reads:
“On a typical weekday morning in a peaceful suburb of Akron, Ohio, the town awakens to discover that Rachel Turner and her son, Evan have been brutally murdered during the night. A short while later, Danny Turner is found in his car at the bottom of a ravine, after having taken his own life. Any explanation as to why a loving father and husband would suddenly commit a series of such heinous crimes has gone to the grave with the accused. The mystery only deepens as the details of the murders emerge, and evidence of premeditation as well as Danny’s hidden past are revealed.
Subsequently, Rachel’s closest friend, Carolyn Bianci, sinks into a deep depression, while her husband, Mitch, copes with his despair by attempting to uncover the facts of the crime. Eventually they encounter Joanna Larson, a fascinating woman who possesses extraordinary spiritual gifts. Through Joanna, the truth about the events that took place the night of the murders are unveiled. The answers Mitch and Carlolyn get are beyond their human understanding.”
The Ravine stars Eric Dane, Teri Polo, Peter Facinelli, and Leslie Uggams. Keoni Waxman directed the feature with a screenplay co-written with Robert Pascuzzi and Kelly Pascuzzi. Kelly Pascuzzi also produced with Phillip Goldfine. The story was first published as a book written by Robert Pascuzzi and is described as a story of “faith, forgiveness, and most of all, the restoration of hope.”
The Ravine Is Inspired by True Events
A real-life situation inspired the story for The Ravine. Author Robert Pascuzzi says he felt compelled to search for answers when a close friend murdered his wife and son before dying by suicide, all seemingly without warning. The tragedy tested Pascuzzi’s faith and had him questioning his own beliefs, and he hopes that telling this story that addresses these kinds of situations might help others dealing with similar challenges.
“The Ravine is inspired by true events,” Robert and Kelly Pascuzzi previously told Deadline in a statement when the film was announced. “The horror was real, yet so was the overwhelming sense of human understanding that it brought to us. We learned and grew from it and want to share it with others. It is a story of faith, forgiveness, but most of all the restoration of hope – even for the most seemingly unredeemable.”
Goldfine added, “We’re really proud of The Ravine. It’s a tight thriller with stars that deliver electric performances and will grab the audience by the collar and not let them go until the very last scene.”
The Ravine will be released in select theaters, on digital, and on demand on May 6, 2022.
