The Murder Mystery Texas Killing Fields Opens in Theaters Friday, October 14, 2011

The murder mystery Texas Killing Fields opens in limited release this Friday, October 14th, 2011 … but we couldn't find any schedule of what cities it is playing in. We suspect this will likely be a direct to cable or DVD release for most of us. (Anchor Bay, a unit of Starz Media, is distributing the film, so it's most likely the former before the latter.)

Inspired by true events, this tense and haunting thriller follows Detective Souder (Sam Worthington), a homicide detective in a small Texan town, and his partner, transplanted New York City cop Detective Heigh (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call "The Killing Fields." Though the swampland crime scenes are outside their jurisdiction, Detective Heigh is unable to turn his back on solving the gruesome murders. Despite his partner’s warnings, he sets out to investigate the crimes. Before long, the killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When familiar local girl Anne (Chloë Grace Moretz) goes missing, the detectives find themselves racing against time to catch the killer and save the young girl’s life.

Texas Killing Fields, which also goes by the pre-production and international titles of The Fields and The Dark Fields, is directed by Ami Canaan Mann from an original screenplay by Don Ferrarone.
