About the film
"Lost Woods" is a gripping and visually stunning horror/thriller film focused on a group of re-acquainted friends who go on a camping trip in the remote Pacific Northwest, only to be hunted by human enemies, a mysterious sasquatch-like creature, and ultimately the "beast within."

Produced in 2011 by first-time writer/director team Philip and Nathan Ellering (brothers), "Lost Woods" breaks out of the indie mold with dynamic acting, deceivingly good visual effects, and captivating cinematography, editing and environments.

Robert Hood of the Undead Backbrain blog writes, "Another excellent independent production... with high levels of creativity and enthusiasm."
