‘Rootwood’ Trailer Documents the Curse of the Wooden Devil [Exclusive]
Welcome to the darkest place on Earth.
Marcel Walz (Blood Feast) has shared with Bloody the exclusive trailer premiere for Rootwood, featuring Elissa Dowling (Tales of Halloween, Starry Eyes), Tyler Gallant (Alpha Wolf), Sarah French (Ouija House, California Dreaming), Felissa Rose (Victor Crowley, Sleepaway Camp) and Brandon Rhea (Ultimate Justice, Push).
“The students Jessica (Dowling) and William (Gallant) are hosting “The Spooky Hour”, a podcast about paranormal phenomena and urban legends. When they are hired by the Hollywood film producer Laura Benott (Rose) to produce a horror documentary about the Curse of the Wooden Devil, they smell a chance to become famous. Together with their friend Erin (French) they enter Rootwood Forest and investigate the area to find out the truth about the wooden devil and his victims.”
Rootwood is said to combine the aesthetics of ghost films and intense monster horror with elements of found footage to create a unique horror experience.
It’s been 17 years since the release of horror sequel The Descent: Part 2, and the film is returning to physical media with a brand new 4K Ultra HD SteelBook from Lionsgate Limited.
This marks the first time The Descent: Part 2 has been released on 4K in the U.S.
Now up for pre-order, the 4K SteelBook will be released on August 11, 2026.
The Descent: Part 2 follows Sarah Carter (Shauna Macdonald) — dazed, bloodied, and speechless — as she emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of The Descent occurred. Forced back underground to help the rescue team search for her missing girlfriends, Sarah’s fractured memories begin to return, and she realizes the full horror of what lurks in the depths of the caves. But the rescue team is about to face a new tribe of deformed crawlers — even more viciously feral than those Sarah encountered before.
