More Horror in the Woods With Timber Falls
When you get a press release announcing a new film and you see the film names HOSTEL, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE THE HILLS HAVE EYES and the not so classic WRONG TURN litter the release this often launches alarm bells. Promoting a film by almost exclusivly relating it to other films is never the best way forward.
The movie takes us for a weekends hiking and camping to West Virginia, Mike (Josh Randall) and girlfriend Sheryl (Brianna Brown - who you might remember from Knocked Up and the 30 year old Virgin) are looking forward to a peaceful break. But the a trio of local rednecks mar the beginning of the holiday.
Sheryl goes missing. Are the rednecks to blame? Mike thinks so and heads off to search for her, eventually ending up at the cabin of a God-fearing woman who offers to help. Is she help, or is she not as helpful as she makes out to be.
This does promise to be a gruesome shocker but can it rise above the level of the average “survival horror” movie?
TIMBER FALLS is released by Scanbox Entertainment and opens at selected UK cinemas on 23rd May 2008.
Directed by Tony Giglio (Chaos) and starring Josh Randall (One Of Our Own), up-and-coming actress Brianna Brown (Knocked Up; The 40 Year Old Virgin) and Beth Broderick (Lost; Sabrina, The Teenage Witch), TIMBER FALLS does for camping and hiking in West Virginia what Hostel did for backpacking in Slovakia.
The latest addition to the increasingly popular “survival horror” genre, Giglio’s film delivers all the shocks, violence, gore and nail-biting tension that any horror fan could ever want.
