Cinephobia Releasing is bringing Dane Elcar‘s acclaimed sci-fi thriller Brightwood to VOD on August 22, and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with a sneak peek today.
The time loop horror movie centers on a married couple at the end of their rope, and that’s before they get trapped into a loop with a hooded killer in the woods.
Check out an exclusive clip below to whet your appetite…
In Brightwood, “Jen and Dan’s marriage is on the rocks with Jen seriously thinking about ending it for good. But when the pair go on a jog around a local pond in an attempt to hash things out, they find themselves running in circles as the exit trail vanishes and they repeatedly return to the same spot.
“Being stuck together in an endless loop would be bad enough, but when a silent hooded killer appears and starts tracking them down, the couple must figure out how to survive — together or apart.”
Written and directed by Dane Elcar, the film stars Dana Berger and Max Woertendyke.
In his recap of this year’s Salem Horror Fest, Alex DiVincenzo said of Brightwood, “Like The Twilight Zone meets Timecrimes with a hint of Blair Witch, the rousing premise is bolstered by character turmoil, although it could have used more answers by the end. With a cast of two entirely outside in daylight, writer-director Dane Elcar makes his feature debut with the clever indie production for the pandemic, based on his 2018 short The Pond.”
Elcar’s chilling mind-bender previously wowed festival audiences at Panic Fest, Other Worlds, Another Hole in the Head, Salem Horror Fest, HorrorHound Film Festival, and more. Luckily, we don’t have long to wait for this timeloop feature to arrive.
