‘Cub’ Trailer Makes You Think Twice About Going Into The Woods

Screen Shot 2015-04-28 at 14.15.53

A film that has been doing particularly well on the festival circuit from late last year is the Belgian shock-horror CUB from writer/director Jonas Govaerts. The film revolves around a 12-year-old boy who heads off to the woods to a summer scout camp trip convinced he will encounter a monster… where he ultimately does.

This new trailer for the film has gone down a storm online, and sets the scene and tone of the feature. Dark, very dark.

CUB will continue to play at genre film festivals for the rest of the spring, before hitting the home markets (BD and DVD) in August.

Check out the trailer below.

This dark, bloody imaginative fairy tale about a camping trip that turns into deadly carnage draws on such influences as Lord of the Rings, Friday the 13th and The Devil’s Backbone. The story follows 12-year-old outcast Sam who, along with his troop of cub scouts and their teenage supervisors, camp in woods rumored to house a mysterious and deadly werewolf. Inquisitive Sam, certain the woods are inhibited by something evil, soon stumbles upon a feral young boy and, eventually, his evil psychopathic mentor. But convincing the others of the danger falls on deaf ears, and soon ingenious traps begin to take their violent toll on the group. A wildly entertaining “killer in the woods” actioner.
