Coming in January, IFC Midnight’s RUST CREEK takes you deep into the Kentucky forests to tell a story of ruthless pursuit and survival. We’ve got an exclusive first look at the poster after the jump.

Arriving in select theaters and VOD January 4, RUST CREEK was directed by Jen McGowan from a script by Julie Lipson, and won Best Thriller Feature at the San Diego International Film Festival. Hermione Corfield, Jay Paulson, Sean O’Bryan, Micah Hauptman and Daniel R. Hill star; the synopsis: “Sawyer [Corfield] is an ambitious, overachieving college senior with a seemingly bright future. While on her way to a job interview, a wrong turn leaves her stranded deep in the frozen Kentucky woods. Suddenly, the young woman with everything to live for finds herself facing her own mortality as she’s punished by the elements and pursued by a band of ruthless outlaws. With nowhere left to run, she is forced into an uneasy alliance with Lowell [Paulson], an enigmatic loner with shadowy intentions. Though she’s not sure she can trust him, Sawyer must take a chance if she hopes to escape Rust Creek alive.”
