The Fright Land amusement park is on the verge of closing its doors forever. But the park’s owner, Hyde (Doug Bradley, Hellraiser), has one last plan to sell more tickets…murder. Hiring two backwoods maniacs to break into the park and hack and slash all his employees, Hyde thinks these killings will create a media sensation, but he has just unleashed a horror that no one can survive.

DEVIL IN THE WOODS starring Stephen Moyer (True Blood) is out on DVD now from Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment and we have a new clip!

Richard Vineyard (Moyer) is eager for his son, step-daughter and new wife to get along, so plans a family vacation to the reclusive Pine Barrens.

Desperate for real solitude, Richard leads them deeper into the woods where it quickly becomes clear that all is not peaceful as animals are found mutilated and horrifically killed.

After initial reservations about their new found celebrity status, they decide to just go for it and find themselves on the road to international stardom. They embark on a flamboyant journey that brings about hilarious end results as they go head to head with the Russian entry in the Universong final.

“This hit musical comedy is the guiltiest pleasure of the year”

Dark and touching, DONE IN is the story of a man writing a goodbye to the world in the form of a suicide note while he calls upon the memories of life in a beautiful country manor. The poignant short drama stars Guy Henry (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, HBO’s Rome, V for Vendetta), best known for his critically-acclaimed turn as Henrik Hanssen in the BBC’s long-running, BAFTA-winning series Holby City.

The film marks the debut of 23-year-old writer/director Adam Stephen Kelly, a prolific critic known most recognisably as Britgeek, formerly of the renowned Ain’t It Cool News.

DONE IN was produced by BAFTA’s SJ Evans (DEAD OF THE NITE, TATTOOS: A SCARRED HISTORY) and features an original score by Imran Ahmad (THE DEAD, THE DEAD 2: INDIA).

“DONE IN is a brilliantly dark spin on the drama film from a bold new voice in indie film-making, Adam Stephen Kelly” – Jonathan Sothcott (producer, VENDETTA, TOP DOG).

“A superbly written script. Adam Stephen Kelly shows his calibre as a writer with DONE IN. He manages to evoke a wide variety of emotions” – Andrew Jones (producer/writer/director, THE AMITYVILLE ASYLUM).

Looking forward to seeing this short. To whet our appetite check these images.
