FIRST BLOOD
Director: Richard Waters. With: Ciara Bailey, Tad Morari, James Devlin. Ireland 2021. 87 mins.
From long time FrightFest community member Richard Waters and a graduate of our innovative New Blood strand. Rosie and Dan are a couple in a doomed relationship. Deciding to call it a day in the least acrimonious way possible, they decide to take one last walk in a favourite destination, the local forest. But suddenly the endlessly winding paths lead nowhere, the trees never seem to end, the sun never sets and a sinister presence starts stalking and tormenting them, trying to drive them insane... There is no escape but what exactly are they hiding?
