Black Wake (2018) is a chilling and suspenseful sci-fi horror film directed by Jeremiah Kipp, with a script by Dr. Michael M. Barringer and Sherry C. McClelland. This low-budget film explores themes of the supernatural, the unknown, and the disturbing potential of science gone wrong. Set in an isolated research facility, Black Wake weaves a complex narrative that blends biological horror with psychological suspense. The film captures the essence of humanity’s vulnerability in the face of the unknown, using its claustrophobic setting, eerie atmosphere, and character-driven conflict to create a sense of dread and mystery.

The plot of Black Wake revolves around a mysterious outbreak that is occurring at a research station. Dr. Daniel (played by Tom Sizemore), a scientist studying marine biology, and a group of colleagues are investigating a strange, increasingly dangerous phenomenon that is linked to an underwater ecosystem. What begins as a routine scientific study soon becomes a fight for survival as members of the team are inexplicably attacked by deadly, mysterious creatures from the deep.

The film’s central mystery begins to unfold as the research facility’s team members discover that the attack is not random, but connected to an ancient and dangerous force—a parasitic organism that is evolving rapidly and consuming everything in its path. As the creatures and their influence spread, the research team realizes that they are facing not only a physical threat, but an existential one as well. The horror of the film is compounded by the fact that the creatures are not just animalistic predators, but seem to have a more sinister, almost supernatural nature.
