Synopsis: The Woods are Lovely, Dark and Deep follows Anjelica as she reluctantly returns to her childhood haunt under grim circumstances. Her estranged Aunt Fern lies unconscious in a hospital, forcing Anjelica to stay in her aunt’s secluded cabin nestled among towering trees on an island near Seattle. Roarke, a friend from her past, remarks on how the relentless forest would reclaim everything if not constantly cut back. As days pass, Anjelica begins experiencing eerie visions and sounds that blur the line between reality and delusion. With her aunt’s condition deteriorating, the encroaching forest seems to mirror Anjelica’s own unraveling sanity, threatening to consume her entirely.
Followed by Q&A with Filmmaker & Cast.
