Movie Review: 'Tethered'

The New ‘Tethered’ Trailer Reminds Us To Always Follow The Rules

Director Daniel Robinette is taking horror fans deep into the woods with the trailer for his horror film Tethered, which reminds you that you must always follow the rules. “In the remote woods of North Carolina, a blind teenager named Solomon lives by himself in total isolation.

The Second Rule: When your will is almost gone and you feel like giving up, find comfort in singing our song.The Third Rule: You must never, ever let go of the rope.” Starring Alexandra Paul, Kareem Ferguson, Jared L.
