Beware! Evil Things are Coming!

More college kids looking for a good time have vanished without a trace. The only thing that we know for sure is that they were apparently the victim of Evil Things. Very ... evil ... things.

We got our hands on the trailer for Dominic Perez's indie effort Evil Things, and I gotta say ... we're interested. Let's take a look at the official synopsis, shall we?

" On January 9th 2009, 5 college students left New York City for a weekend in the country. 48 hours later they vanished without a trace. There were no leads and no evidence...until now.

It’s Miriam’s 21st Birthday. As a birthday gift, Miriam’s aunt Gail has decided to lend Miriam her beautiful country house for an entire weekend. Aunt Gail’s country house is amazing. It’s a four bedroom house surrounded by breathtaking mountains and miles and miles of woods. Miriam invites her young college friends Cassy, Mark, Tanya and Leo to join her at the country house for what looks to be the most amazing weekend ever. Of course they all jump at the chance to spend a free weekend in the country, in the middle of nowhere. Miriam’s friends are totally in the mood for a big time party weekend. They’re also anxious to escape the dark and gloomy concrete jungle known as Manhattan. Miriam, Cassy and Tanya bring the food. Mark brings the beer and Leo, the aspiring filmmaker, brings his new video camera. Leo hopes to produce a short movie by documenting every amazing moment of this weekend getaway. Unfortunately, what Leo ends up capturing on camera is not a weekend of peace and tranquility, but a nightmarish descent into pure terror."

Yes, it's another found footage film, but just listening to director Dominic Perez talk about the movie, hell I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt!

"It took me 3 months to write Evil Things, 7 days to shoot it, and 1 month to edit it, but it took me 41 years to finally believe that I could make it happen," says Perez. We can dig that.

Check out the trailer below, and head on over to the Evil Things website for more, including stills, video interviews with "the victims families" and other goodies.
