Boy Scouts Take on an Evil Force in the Woods in CUB Trailer
Cub is a crazy-looking Belgian horror film that follows an outcast boy and his fellow boy scouts as they are forced to face off with an evil force that lurks in the woods. The movie made the film festival rounds last year, and according to several of the reviews, the movie is full of over-the-top violence and bloody carnage. The reviews have been mixed, but it sounds like it all depends on your taste of films. If you're a fan of horror movies like I am then you'll probably enjoy it, but if not, then it's something you might want to skip. Here's the synopsis:
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.
Cub hits Blu-Ray and DVD on August 18th. Watch the trailer and let us know if it looks like a film you'd want to watch.
