Synopsis

Against her better judgement, young American student, Emily, agrees to a weekend camping in the English countryside with her new boyfriend, Jay and his strange cousin, Julia. A simple walk in the woods becomes a lethal brush with nature when Emily discovers that her new friends aren’t who they seem… and her life is in danger… Beneath the Trees.

What called Emily into the forest? Who - or what - waits for her? A weekend camping trip becomes sinister as reality blurs with pagan ritual. Death descends as the sun fades and the forest grows darker. Film festival regular Marco De Luca reinterprets the rich tradition of British horror in his chilling new psychological thriller.
