"Dark Woods" Trailer Looks Good!

By Eric N on April 03rd, 2009

I've been making a point lately to send you guys in the direction of Indie horror films that actually look good. I'm not in the business of praising everything I see, but I do recognize how hard it is to make something that's actually good on a small budget, so this is me just trying to do my part. I know, I'm so noble.

This one's called "Dark Woods", and while we've definitely seen this story lots of times before, I was impressed by the overall package. It seems that the male lead's acting has a very high chance of tanking the film before it gets started, but he appears to be carried here by some strong female leading performances. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Dark Woods follows a couple who moves to a secluded cabin in the woods to cope with a terminal illness of the wife. As the wife’s condition drags her deeper into dementia and darkness, the husband’s friendship with a local teenage girl takes a dangerous and obsessive turn.
