Evil in the Woods

2022 · 79 min

A shoot spirals into unease, blurring fiction and dread until the woods feel genuinely threatening.

Tagline: They wanted to shoot a rom-com, but bad things happened and now it's a horror film.
Overview: The romantic comedy "Unlimited Love" by Malte Wirtz gets out of hand when an actress disappears during the shooting. What was intended as an improvised tragicomedy becomes bitterly serious, and also a disturbing scary film.
