Dark Dreams Productions, Simpatico Pictures and Good Spirits Films present Deathwoods, a modern day slasher with elements of classic grindhouse films. The team previews, “In the vein of the great films that came before it like The Burning, Madman, and Pieces, Deathwoods promises nothing less than extreme bloodshed and mayhem.”

Here’s the full synopsis…

Twenty years ago, the Wallace Family lived deep in the woods surrounding the small town of Old Hickory, Tennessee. After a terrible murder/suicide fell upon the family, rumors circulated around town, and quickly turned into ghost stories about a grotesque, mutated kid, that now haunts those very woods.

Now in present day, Scott’s friends, Kyle and Jessica, plan a weekend camping trip with the intention of breaking Scott out of his post breakup depression by setting him up with Jessica’s friend, Michelle.
