We just received word that Irish actress Tracy Coogan (ZOMBIE HONEYMOON) who was part of British writer/director Jake Kennedys latest indie movie “The Devil’s Dungeon” is now in pre-production on the feature film DARK WOODS. Tracy will star as the lead character. DARK WOODS is a mystery thriller written by John Muscarnero and directed by Mike Escobedo. The story follows a couple who moves to a secluded cabin in the woods to cope with a terminal illness of the wife. As the wifes condition drags her deeper into dementia and darkness, the husband's friendship with a local teenage girl takes a dangerous and obsessive turn.
The emotional feel will be something like "Swimming Pool", "We Don't Live Here Anymore" or Roman Polanski's "Repulsion". Lots of foreign influence, with some Lynch thrown in the mix. Once we get more information on DARK WOODS we'll post it up on our site. For now, you can check out our coverage for the film which has the info we already mentioned as well as the poster.
