Poster For ‘The Woods’ Hovers Over You

Published

on

Corin Hardy‘s feature directorial debut for Occupant, The Woods, is currently shooting in Ireland but has released a poster for the Cannes Film Market. It features a malevolent face in the sky above an unassuming house. I think the first time I saw this was in Fright Night in 1985 – does it date back to earlier?

Co-written and directed by award-winning music video director Corin Hardy, “The Woods follows a London-based conservationist who is sent to Ireland to investigate an ancient forest. During his survey, he accidentally disturbs the hallowed grounds and finds himself in a fight for survival to protect his family from an ancient brood of creatures.

Written by Hardy and Olga Barreneche, The Woods stars Joseph Mawle (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, “Game of Thrones”) and Bojana Novakovic (Devil, Edge of Darkness).

The film is produced by Occupant’s Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino, and is overseen by Occupant executive Kate Sharp. Fantastic Films is acting as the Irish co-producer.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
