Fowler said: “’Blackwater Lane’ is an intelligent female driven thriller set in the British countryside with lots of layers and a very modern twist. I am hugely excited to work with Jeff, Minka, Maggie and Dermot on B.A. Paris’ chilling, entertaining and adrenaline fuelled story that I think will engage audiences worldwide.”
