If you can’t afford Alec Baldwin, just hire his brother Daniel. In doing so, you essentially get the same face and voice but with none of that pesky acting talent or comedic timing. To be fair, even that wouldn’t have done much to redeem Born of Earth, a film about dormant demons resurfacing in greater numbers that could threaten all of human existence on Earth.

Born of Earth will be looking for distribution at the European Film Market, with Multivisionnaire Pictures showing the film. The market begins this Friday, the 12th, with a whole slate of horror pictures making their way to the continent. Born of Earth stars Daniel Baldwin (A Darker Reality), Brad Dourif (Halloween II) and James Russo (Dark Woods). Coincidentally, Russo plays a similar role, as sheriff, in both Dark Woods and Born of Earth. Here, however this picture is much more action oriented and classified in the creature feature, horror sub-genre. Very little info' has surfaced on this feature, since its completion in 2008. The Efm might help Born of Earth find North American or worldwide distribution.
