Woodlands

For a while now I've been wanting to make a movie. My sister, Beth, and I have been throwing ideas back and forth for years. But out of those ideas we threw around we've come up with a basic outline for the movie. I'm not sure about her opinion on it, but the working title I've been using is "Woodlands". Odds are that'll change in the coming weeks/months. The story is heavily influenced by The Evil Dead, and Dead Snow and probably movies I don't even realize I'm ripping off!
Below is a sample death from the current treatment (under revision)

"Cut to: Erik (Guy #1) as he grows more and more paranoid and frightened, suddenly he hears a crack nearby. He whips around to see nothing, suddenly another crack. This time behind him! He’s turning back and forth terrified, “F*ck it!” He runs away from the sounds emanating from the darkness around him. He hopes to find his way back to the camp but is running blindly through the woods. He nearly runs into a tree, sidestepping that he then falls down a steep embankment. The camera tumbling with him. Suddenly he jolts to a stop, a strange look crosses his face. He coughs once, twice, on the third blood comes to his lips. He glances down, camera pans down to a snapped off tree branch impaling him. He coughs a few more times, spits and tries to pull himself off the branch. Rather than pull himself off, it snaps near where it is entering his body. He takes two shuffling steps before falling to his knees and slides the rest of the way down the hill into a river. He halfheartedly tries to climb out of the water before slipping into the current. He floats away, facedown."

So, this is my first post here regarding "Woodlands", hopefully I'll be posting more snippets or the treatment, concept art, production photos, and eventually a trailer! But don't expect most of those anytime soon!
