The film is produced by Occupant’s Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino and is overseen by Occupant executive Kate Sharp. Fantastic Films is acting as the Irish co-producer and financing is coming from Prescience, Hyperion Media Group, and the Irish Film Board with Paul Brett, Tim Smith, and James Swarbrick executive producing for Prescience, Michael Mailis for Hyperion, and Will Clarke for Altitude Film Sales, which is handling international sales and will debut the first footage in Cannes.

Co-written and directed by award-winning music video director Corin Hardy, THE WOODS follows a London-based conservationist who is sent to Ireland to investigate an ancient forest. During his survey he accidentally disturbs the hallowed grounds and finds himself in a fight for survival to protect his family from an ancient brood of creatures.
