The Texas Killing Fields, a serial killer drama produced by Michael Mann (Miami Vice) and directed by his daughter Ami Canaan Mann, is slated for an October release. The film is inspired by a series of real-life unsolved murders discovered in a stretch of land in Galveston, Texas.

The film’s synopsis reads:

Inspired by true events, this tense and haunting thriller follows a local homicide detective in a small Texan town and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call “The Killing Fields”.

The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl, Anne goes missing the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find the killer and save her life.

The Texas Killing Fields stars Sam Worthington (Avatar), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Tenant), Chloe Mortez (Let Me In), Stephen Graham (“Boardwalk Empire”), Jason Clarke (Death Race), Sheryl Lee (“Twin Peaks”) and Jessica Chastain (pictured above).
