Dark Woods
They should have stayed away from that water
Directed by Pål Øie
Produced by Spleis AS, Handmade films in Norwegian Woods
A wilderness horror film built on paranoia and isolation, where a team-building retreat becomes a survival nightmare when something sinister lurks near the water.
Five Norwegians head for a cabin in the wilderness for a few days of teambuilding. But strange things start happening — especially down by the water where they find an abandoned tent. Is there someone else?
