New trailer for Michael Bartlett’s Treehouse, in theaters/on VOD in February

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

It was way back in May of last year when we shared the very creepy and effective trailer for Michael Bartlett's TREEHOUSE, and now we've learned that Uncork'd Entertainment will finally be bringing the film to limited theaters and on VOD February 20. On top of that bit of news we now have a new trailer for the flick director Bartlett has described as a “siege film…in the same vein as John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 (1976).”

I'll be quite honest here. This new trailer just doesn't pack the punch that the earlier trailer delivered, but that doesn't lessen my desire to check this one out. It still looks like it could certainly deliver some freaky moments.

The story for TREEHOUSE focuses on missing teenagers and unknown shadows in the local Missouri woods. A brother and sister are kidnapped and two brothers find one of the victims, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is alone and afraid, in an isolated fort; several shadows lurk below. All three classmates will have to face an unimaginable evil, if they are to survive the night.

Elizabeth (Dana Melanie) arrives home from school to witness the abduction of her younger brother. She gives chase and is not seen again. Soon, news breaks to the local community, coinciding with sightings of strange humanoids and animal abductions and mutilations. The town descends into paranoia and a curfew is enforced.  Brothers Killian (J. Michael Trautmann) and Crawford (Daniel Fredrick) stumble upon Elizabeth by chance when sneaking out to party with some local girls and that is when all proverbial hell breaks loose! A confrontation looms between these youths and their hunters.

The film stars Dana Melanie, J. Michael Trautmann, Daniel Fredrick, and Clint James. Look for it in theaters and on VOD on February 20.
