Danny Trejo is back, co-starring with an exclusively multicultural cast in the upcoming horror flick Murder in the Woods. The film is directed adn produced by Luis Iga Garza (The Call) and written and produced by Yelyna De León (Will and Grace, A Better Life). It is set to be released initially at drive-ins and in select theaters this month, ahead of its wider release on VOD to come in September.
Synopsis: MURDER IN THE WOODS is centered on a group of college friends who plan a getaway to celebrate a birthday party at a desolate cabin in the woods. Against his grandmother’s (Soledad St. Hilaire) demands, Jesse (José Julián), a loner-type decides to go on a trip with his friends. He is immediately smitten with Fernanda (Jeanette Samano), a sweet girl from Chicago whom he hasn’t seen in years. She is in town visiting her loudmouth cousin, Chelsea (Chelsea Rendon), who is ready to celebrate her birthday and plans to let loose with her boyfriend Gabe (Jordan Diambrini). Tagging along at the last second are Jule (Kade Wise), the class clown pothead, and the very out-of-his-league Celeste (Catherine Toribio). Soon after arriving to the mysterious cabin in the woods, the group of teens discover the dark secret it holds, which forces them to fight for their lives.
Murder in the Woods will be coming to drive-ins and theaters nationwide on Aug. 14, with a digital and VOD release to follow on Sept. 18. It’s always a good time when you’re watching horror films with the legendary Trejo involved, and going by the trailer, Murder in the Woods looks to be pretty fun as well. That’s all even better if you can manage to catch the flick at the drive-in. Check out the official trailer and poster below!
