Welcome to the Scariest Place on Earth: UK Horror Fans Can Visit ROOTWOOD This Month

Chilling horror, Rootwood, which stars Elissa Dowling (Tales of Halloween, Starry Eyes), Tyler Gallant (Alpha Wolf), Sarah French (Ouija House, California Dreaming) and also features horror icon Felissa Rose, known as Angela from the horror classic Sleepaway Camp, will be released in the UK on the 25th of November 2019 by genre film specialists Evolutionary Films. Already creating a buzz amongst the online horror community, Rootwood has secured placement on all the major UK platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sky Store, and Vubiquity.

Synopsis:
The film follows two students, Jessica (Elissa Dowling) and William (Tyler Gallant), who host “The Spooky Hour”, a podcast about paranormal phenomena and urban legends. When they are hired by the Hollywood film producer Laura Benott (Felissa Rose) to produce a horror documentary about the curse of the wooden devil, they smell a chance to become famous. Together with their friend Erin (Sarah French) they enter Rootwood Forest and investigate the area to find out the truth about the wooden devil and his victims.

Rootwood combines the aesthetics of ghost films and intense monster horror with elements of found footage to create a unique horror experience with surprising twists and turns like no other.

The UK is the first territory to unleash this exciting, authentic and atmospheric film from Marcel Walz, the director of the Blood Feast remake, but it has been selling globally at film markets through Evolutionary Films’ international sales arm and already has high profile releases scheduled in Germany and North America in 2020.

Evolutionary Films CEO, John Adams noted: “We’ve been very excited to be bringing this spine-tingling roller-coaster of a film to genre audiences around the world ever since the trailer dropped last year and raced to 40,000 views in virtually no time at all. Now that Rootwood is finally here, we can’t wait for people to see it!”
