Ever since the rather brilliant Wolf Creek 2, there’s been something of a slump in great Australian horror films. Thankfully, if the trailer for Lurking Woods is anything to go by, we may have the next great Aussie horror flick on our hands.

Coming from rising production company Rodman Pictures and first-time director Rizal Halim, Lurking Woods’s Facebook page says that it will be released in the “third quarter of 2015,” but a release next year is obviously more likely.

Synopsis
Lurking Woods is an Australian suspense thriller set in the rural areas of Western Australia.

The story follows a group of six young ex university students that have decided to catch up with each other after a year apart. They have all agreed to spend a luxurious weekend away in a tranquil woods location together.

The girls of the group have secretly organised a “seek and search” game that will result in which guy will end up spending time with which girl for the weekend. We watch as the group start to enjoy sharing stories of times gone by, and at the same time we experience the beautiful Australian scenery and landscape. After a bit of frolicking around, we start to follow the game that the girls had devised.

It is quickly discovered that not all seems to be fun and games in the peaceful neck of the woods. A masked person is lurking around in the woods and spying. Before too long the eerie masked person has appeared to have gone crazy and starts attacking the group individually as he follows them.

The story takes us through twists and turns and highs and lows throughout  giving you an array of emotions and keeping you in suspense as to what is going to happen next, who is behind the mask, and why it’s all happening. Not everything is as it appears to be.
