BritFlicks is excited to share the official trailer for 'THE HAUNTED FOREST,' premiering at FrightFest 2025 on Saturday 23 August at 6.25 pm in Discovery Screen Three, ODEON Luxe Leicester Square. Additional screening 24 August, at 8:55 pm BST on Discovery Screen 3 at ODEON Luxe Leicester Square.
Directed by Keith Boynton and starring Grayson Gwaze, Kaitlyn Lunardi, Cedric Gegel, and Meghan Reed, this US horror film runs for 93 minutes and blends bloody humour with intense scares.
The story follows Zach, a high-school senior obsessed with horror and Halloween, who lands his first job as a scare actor at the famous Markoff’s Haunted Forest attraction in Maryland, run by his cousin. Zach quickly bonds with the crew of misfits who bring terror to paying guests. But when tragedy strikes and a fellow actor dies on the grounds, a string of strange killings begins. As the body count rises, Zach starts questioning his fascination with death and his devotion to the macabre.
Fans of SCREAM-style thrills can expect a mix of laughs, scares, and deadly serious stakes. You can watch the official trailer now on the BritFlicks YouTube channel as part of our FrightFest 2025 Playlist.
