NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. cable network Chiller says production has begun in Oxford, Conn., on its original movie "Beneath."

The telepicture, set for a spring 2013 premiere, stars Danny Zovatto, Bonnie Dennison, Chris Conroy, Jonny Orsini, Griffin Newman, Mackenzie Rosman and Mark Margolis.

"When a group of young friends commemorating their high-school graduation take a trip to the remote Black Lake, their celebration turns into a nightmare with the sudden appearance of a bloodthirsty, underwater predator. Stuck in a leaking boat with no oars, the teens face the ultimate tests of friendship and sacrifice during a terror-stricken fight for survival," a synopsis said.

"Beneath" was written by Tony Daniel and Brian D. Smith, and directed by Larry Fessenden.
