Step into the Darkness


Herbert Brindl from the heart of Hollywood drops me another line on "Dark Woods." The film, which is psychologically themed, involves infidelity and terminal illness and "Dark Woods," is currently moving towards a future release date. Despite the serious subject matter the first trailer and one sheet poster have a distinct gloomy atmosphere that manages to heighten the films tension. As well, first time director Michael Escobedo steps behind the camera in this horror film that focuses primarily on atmosphere and story. Have a look at the first full length trailer inside.

A synopsis for "Dark Woods," here...
