For those who enjoy a slice of paranoia horror,
Vertigo films (that's the folks that brought us 2010’s epic handheld creature feature:
Monsters) have just released a creepy
new trailer for their upcoming flick ANight in the Woods. The film looks to set to be the British Blair Witch: a creepy legend in an
isolated wilderness, a triad of people keeping secrets from each other, and a
lot of screaming in the dark. Hopefully this minimalist piece will pack the
same punch Monsters did, working with
a smaller more intimate number of characters and revealing little of the
threat. But there’s always the risk that
the hand-held sub-genre will overload itself with too many like-minded works,
and burn out its appeal. Still, A Night
in the Woods promises scares aplenty and hopefully a stand-out addition to
the collection.
A Night In The Woods will be released in UK cinemas September 7th.
Watch the trailer here:
On what is intended to be a fun camping trip to investigate and to chill in the atmosphere of the legendary haunted past of Dartmoor’s Wistman’s Woods, Brody, his girlfriend Kerry and her cousin Leo very soon find themselves mysteriously ill at ease both with their surroundings and their companions. Bad moods and minor disagreements rapidly lead to feelings of severe paranoia, sexual tension, fear and, eventually, violence between the three friends, a situation that worsens as the evening draws in. At first, they suspect the conflicts are simply the result of being thrown together in the ancient, eerie surroundings, but as night closes upon them each begins to wonder if darker forces are at work.
