Red Woods

Their footage was not found. Their bodies were.

A found-footage horror film that traps its protagonists in a predatory game, building dread through the inversion of their own documentation.

A group of urbex enthusiasts travel to the backwoods of Appalachia to capture footage of abandoned houses, when they unwittingly become the subjects of a much darker video - made by a different kind of "enthusiast".
