Beware of Flesh-Eating Squirrels! They’re Nuts!

Filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) is producing what could be the squirrel version of Sharknado with Squirrels, a horror film about squirrels who feast on flesh. A few days ago, a sales trailer hit for the film and now we’ve got this teaser poster featuring a squirrel who’s into fingers.

Bekmambetov came up with the idea for Squirrels and Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin wrote the script.

The plot:

When a young man’s estranged father is killed under suspicious circumstances, he returns home for the first time in years to get to the bottom of the mystery. Hoping to uncover some logical explanation, he instead finds his mom’s sleazy new boyfriend, a natural gas company buying up the town, an angry female sheriff who happens to be his ex-girlfriend, and an army of flesh-eating squirrels hellbent on destroying everything in their path due to an erosion of their food chain as a result of environmental destruction by the gas company.
