There's Something Inhuman in the Woods

About the movie...

A group of twenty-somethings, 4 childhood friends and 3 of their significant others, go to camp in the woods for a weekend retreat to  catch up with their old friends, post college. Aimee’s grandfather recently passed away and her family has inherited his vast swath of land in the Colorado mountains, so she has arranged a weekend trip to camp there. But there is something inhuman in the woods.

It's inspirations...

Something Inhuman is a homage to late 80's/early 90's Shot-on-Video horror films, but with a modern flair. We will shoot the movie with 2 final versions in mind, one in 16:9 modern full HD and a 2nd version that will be 1.33:1 and made to look as if it is playing from a VHS tape. The differences will not just be a filter, these will be 2 slightly different versions of the movie. Both versions will be available on the planned blu-ray edition of the movie, and individually on a digital platform.

Our plan...

Inhuman is currently in pre-production, with filming to be scheduled by Spring of 2024, and a plan to release before the end of 2024.

How can you help?

Our first crowdfunding campaign successfully raised $3k. We are now looking at other avenues to raise additional funds during pre-production, and are also looking for businesses to sponsor the film. If you are interested in helping produce the film, please email us with the button below, or if you want to support with a donation, our GoFundMe is below.

Mikey  Manschot is an actor and avid horror fan from the vibrant state of  Texas. From a young age, Mikey had a passion for acting and bringing diverse characters to life.  In horror, Mikey found a refuge from the trials and  tribulations of everyday life, and with each film he replaced his troubles with a genuine sense of excitement and exhilaration. The macabre universe of horror provided him with an escape, a place where he  could explore the darkest corners of the universe, and ultimately channel that exploration into his acting.  Although still on the cusp of his acting career, Mikey possesses an  unwavering commitment to his craft. With a keen eye for film, he delves  deep into the world of cinema, studying the techniques of renowned horror filmmakers and actors to perfect his craft.
