This June, venture into The Woods, the chilling debut horror film from writer/director Sarah Lyons. The film is brought to you by Terror Films Releasing.
A Chilling Tale
The film stars Taylor Harris-Butler, Samantha Evans, Troy Tripicchio, and Jakob Martinez Cooper. It plunges viewers into the story of a mysterious and tragic camping trip. The film’s premise centers on an interview on a popular true-crime podcast. The sole survivor of this ill-fated hike recounts the terrifying events that led to the deaths of her friends several years earlier, while she is still struggling with the events that unfolded.
Behind the Scenes
Shot by cinematographer Maddalena De Beni, The Woods was filmed in just three weeks across various locations in New Jersey, New York City, and Upstate New York.
Lyons, who co-produced the film alongside Monica Arsenault, shared her thoughts on the journey of making her directorial debut with The Woods.
“We made this film at an interesting and difficult time in the film industry, a time where small artists and indie directors are finding it increasingly hard to make movies. I want people to enjoy The Woods, but I also want it to be a reminder that this is still an industry by and for artists. We made this film on a microbudget, a lot of hard work, and a dream. This movie is for the dreamers, and I hope it inspires people to make an indie horror film of their own.”
Coming Soon
The Woods is set to arrive across multiple platforms on June 27th, 2025! You’ll be able to catch it on Chilling, Scare Network TV, Kings of Horror, Shocks & Docs, and many more. For more on this films and others, please visit the Terror Films website.
