The Backwoods

About This Movie

The pacing is deliberate, almost languid at times, building tension that makes the unsettling moments hit harder. An English couple stumbles upon a chilling discovery—a girl locked away in a cabin—unraveling themes of isolation and the darkness lurking within humanity.
