Go ahead... go on your hike! Spend some time in the middle of nowhere dealing with ancient evil forces whose territory you have absolutely no business being in. We'll be sitting here, popcorn in hand, cackling at your inevitable demise!
Writer/director Richard Parry's A Night in the Woods stars Anna Skellern, Scoot McNairy, and Andrew Hawley. Look for it on Blu-ray and DVD on February 11th.
Synopsis
When three friends go hiking, jealousies, sexual tensions, and strained relationships come to a head, turning what should have been a peaceful camping adventure into a terror trip. As collective paranoia reaches fever pitch, it becomes clear that there is a much darker force at work in their ancient, eerie surroundings. Who or what is after them? And can any one of them survive a night in the woods?

At this point I feel I should add "For Found Footage Format Fans Only" in big, bold letters at the start of certain film reviews. (Like the current one, the blandly titled A Night in the Woods.) Put quite simply, there have to be over a hundred of these "micro-budget, handheld, most improvised, shot in a nearby forest" movies that have hit the shelves in the last five years -- and one certainly couldn't blame a horror fan for simply lumping most of them together and dismissing the entire "first-person shaky cam" format completely. But for those of us who think there's actually some novelty, promise, and innate creepiness to be found in these movies (to say nothing of the writers who cover horror films and try to separate the crap from the quality for other folks), well, here's another one. A Night in the Woods. Three young (and rather...

A Night In The Woods
Stars: Scoot McNairy, Anna Skellern, Andrew Hawley | Written and Directed by Richard Parry
Reading the title of the film gives it all away really, A Night in the Woods. That’s what this film is and pretty much that is what happens, three characters spend A Night in the Woods and we get to see the footage found afterwards. Sounds a bit like The Blair Witch Project doesn’t it? Well you may just be right.
Brody and his girlfriend Kerry are taking a trip into Dartmoor’s Wistman’s Woods with her “cousin” Leo. The local villagers in the pub give them stories about the woods and it’s dubious past which they laugh off as they make their way onto the moors, then into the woods themselves. What is found is the footage of what happened that night as sexual tension runs high,...

Anna Karenina (12A)
(Joe Wright, 2012, UK/Fra) Keira Knightley, Kelly Macdonald, Jude Law, 130 mins
Bringing period drama up-to-date, Wright's radical reinterpretation of Tolstoy's tragedy stages the action almost entirely in a theatre – backstage areas, red curtains and all. It's a smart framing device for the Imperial Russia on display, even if the stylisation puts emotion at a slight remove, not helped by the love-or-loathe leads. But it's still a sight to behold, with rich colours, doll's-house sets and costumes to die for (spoiler alert!).
Dredd (18)
(Pete Travis, 2012, UK) Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey, Rakie Ayola. 95 mins
Aiming to please old 2000Ad fans rather than convert new ones, this post-apocalyptic sci-fi has all the violent justice and jutting-chin action you'd want, with some visual flourishes to make up for a straightahead plot.
Lawless (18)
(John Hillcoat, 2012, Us) Tom Hardy, Shia Labeouf, Guy Pearce. 116 mins

More “Blair Witch Project” style shenanigans arrive in the form of “A Night in the Woods”, a British effort which could at least never be accused of not living up to its title, following a trio of the usual types wandering around the moors and forests of Northern England. The found footage film was directed by Richard Parry (“South West 9”), who previously worked as a conflict zone cameraman, helming various documentaries in Iraq and Afghanistan, with cinematography by Simon Dennis (“The Sweeney”), and the international cast of American star Scoot McNairy (“Monsters”), Australian actress Anna Skellern (“The Descent: Part 2”) and up and coming British actor Andrew Hawley (“Snow White And The Huntsman”). The Vertigo Films release is set for a brief run in UK cinemas in early September, arriving shortly afterwards on DVD. The very recognisable plot follows an American called Brody (Scoot McNairy), his girlfriend Kerry (Anna Skellern...

Vertigo Films’ A Night in the Woods, which is set for a UK release on September 7th, comes from the makers of Monsters and stars Scoot McNairy (Argo, Killing Them Softly, Monsters), Anna Skellern (W.E.) and Andrew Hawley; and is directed by BAFTA nominated Richard Parry (South West 9).
On what is intended to be a fun camping trip to investigate and to chill in the atmosphere of the legendary haunted past of Dartmoor’s Wistman’s Woods, Brody, his girlfriend Kerry and her cousin Leo very soon find themselves mysteriously ill at ease both with their surroundings and their companions. Bad moods and minor disagreements rapidly lead to feelings of severe paranoia, sexual tension, fear and, eventually, violence between the three friends, a situation that worsens as the evening draws in. At first, they suspect the conflicts are simply the result of being thrown together in the ancient, eerie surroundings,...

Here at Dread Central we love when people head out into the woods to go camping and such. Mainly because they usually get dismembered and terrorized by any number of baddies. This makes us giddy. If it does you as well, dig on this latest trailer, etc.

A Spanking In Paradise
Stars: Andrew Hawley, Simon Weir, Leo Horsfield, Susan Robertson | Written and Directed by Wayne Thallon
A Spanking In Paradise is the story of a quiet newly graduated lawyer who decides to help his uncle working at his brothel for a month. The film, billed as a dark comedy, delves into the seedy underbelly of Edinburgh’s brothels, supposedly based on director Wayne Thallon’s own experiences.
The film was one of Edinburgh International Film Festival’s official selections and was filmed over the course of three weeks in January 2010. On the website, it’s billed as the “Scottish Four Lions” and “the movie hit to rival Trainspotting”.
Are these reviews accurate? In a word, no. The film does it’s best to emulate the dialogue of a Tarantino film injected with humour, rambling Scottish gangster stories are the order of the day as we’re introduced to Uncle Rab,...

If the title doesn’t get you first, the promise of ‘a comedy set in a brothel’ ought to. Think ‘Scottish Four Lions’ for deadpan underdog calamities, and you get the idea. Writer-director Wayne Thallon’s 2011 Edinburgh Film Festival closer, A Spanking In Paradise, is a spankin’, swind screamer of pure shant lunacy, right from the grubby black heart of Edinburgh’s underworld.
Naïve, young lawyer Justin (Andrew Hawley) has one month to wait for his Us visa, and decides to spend it visiting long-lost family in Edinburgh. His charismatic Uncle Rab (Simon Weir) is a hard-nosed brothel owner who loves his Mum, but has a rep to protect, and sets about having his nephew working on the reception and doing thankless errands. Justin soon finds that the job is more purgatory than paradise, as he comes in contact with a whole number of dubious characters – but can he keep...

Rating: 4 out of 10
Add a snail’s pace to very very little action about a small and boring love triangle set in some upper class version of post apocalyptic paradise and you have Dust – hopefully it won’t settle on you.
This is one of those movies where you really wonder what the heck the creative team are up to -- save the usual arthouse killer cinematography and crunchy use of sound Dust tells a story in 82 minutes that should have been told in 22. Just long enough to be a half hour TV show. Which is too bad, but you have to understand very few of the ingredients in Dust make for a great story. But it is weird in its relentless footdragging to go nowhere. For example, twice I found myself absently cleaning my...
