Beyond the Woods is a 2016 Irish horror film, written and directed by Sean Breathnach. [1] and distributed internationally by Left Films [2] It was shot in County Cork, Ireland. [3]
Beyond The Woods is a supernatural horror film set in a secluded holiday home on the eve of the opening of a mysterious fiery sinkhole that locals are calling "The Gates of Hell". Marissa and Jason invited their friends to Marissa's father's old house, which is now used as a holiday home. As the weekend progresses some of the friends start acting out of character. A few of them get very amorous. One of them disappears. One gets lost in the woods. [4]
The genuine production of the film's scenes and characters makes it one of the most unique and compelling films amongst various low-budget horror movies. [5] The production and video style of this horror film is so clever and refined that it has been alluded and compared to the creations of M Night Shyamalan. [6]
Beyond the Woods premiered October 2016 at the Indie Cork Film Festival [7] in Ireland, and won Best Feature (International) at the UVHFF in London. [8] It was released in February 2018 on DVD. [9]
