Fans of time loop horror movies like Timecrimes and Coherence take note: Cinephobia Releasing has set a summer release date on upcoming time-bending horror feature Brightwood.
Look for Dane Elcar‘s acclaimed sci-fi thriller Brightwood on VOD and DVD on August 22, 2023.
A brand new trailer for the horror film introduces a married couple at the end of their rope, and that’s before they get trapped into a loop with a hooded killer. Marriage counseling by way of horror. Check out the trailer and new poster below.
In Brightwood, “Jen and Dan’s marriage is on the rocks with Jen seriously thinking about ending it for good. But when the pair go on a jog around a local pond in an attempt to hash things out, they find themselves running in circles as the exit trail vanishes and they repeatedly return to the same spot. Being stuck together in an endless loop would be bad enough, but when a silent hooded killer appears and starts tracking them down, the couple must figure out how to survive — together or apart.”
Written and directed by Dane Elcar, the film stars Dana Berger and Max Woertendyke.
In his recap of this year’s Salem Horror Fest, Alex DiVincenzo said of Brightwood, “Like The Twilight Zone meets Timecrimes with a hint of Blair Witch, the rousing premise is bolstered by character turmoil, although it could have used more answers by the end. With a cast of two entirely outside in daylight, writer-director Dane Elcar makes his feature debut with the clever indie production for the pandemic, based on his 2018 short The Pond.”
Elcar’s chilling mind-bender previously wowed festival audiences at Panic Fest, Other Worlds, Another Hole in the Head, Salem Horror Fest, HorrorHound Film Festival, and more. Luckily, we don’t have long to wait for this timeloop feature to arrive.
