Linnea Quigley’s “lost film”, HEARTLAND OF DARKNESS, shot in the 1980’s during the heyday of the nationwide “Satanic Panic” finally gets a trailer and is being geared up for release in the near future. This film, a true cinematic time capsule, deals with cults, ritualistic sacrifice, sex and violence head-on. Now, decades later, finally finished, it’s ready to see the light. Directed by Eric Swelstad.





HEARTLAND OF DARKNESS follows the investigation of several violent, ritualistic murders committed in the small, rural town of Copperton, Ohio. Paul Henson, a big-city journalist buys the local paper and hires an investigative reporter who also seeks to leave the large congested city and relax in a more peaceful surrounding. This tranquility is soon shattered as the murders are discovered, and clues point to a massive city-wide cover up involving the city officials as well as a local charismatic Reverend. A wandering Preacher joins Paul in uncovering the evil cult operating in the small town, and soon their lives are in danger as the cult closes in on them.
