The Woods

Gothic chills abound in the thriller The Woods directed by Lucky McKee (May) from a screenplay written by David Ross (The Babysitters). Amidst the splendor of rural New England sits Falburn Academy, a boarding school for young, impressionable and in some cases, troubled girls. Isolated from the outside world, Falburn sits near the woods — a sinister cluster of trees that appears to act as a protective wall. Heather Fasulo (Agnes Brucker, The Aviator) is the school's newest student. After setting fire to a forest, rebellious Heather is sent to Falburn to provide her with a sense of stability. Heather's increasing nightmares prove to be more than homesickness when she discovers that the woods hold a chilling and terrifying secret.
