Coming to us from Disrupting Influence, In the Forest follows
Helen and her daughter Emily reluctantly accompany Helen’s father Stan on a family camping trip, driving deep into the forest for a real outdoors experience, only to have angry landowner Howard arrive and force them to leave. When their RV gets stuck, Helen decides to seek help but discovers a disturbing secret on the man’s property. She must then fight to protect her family and make it out of the forest alive before being hunted down.
The film stars Debbon Ayer (Garden State), Cristina Spruell (Mr. Student Body President), Lyman Ward (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Don Baldaramos (Suburbicon), Kaitlyn Dias (American Crime), Time Winters (General Hospital), and Sharon Sharth (One Life to Live).
In the Forest was produced by Brian McLaughlin, with Barron, Glenn Kendrick Ackermann, Peter Fruchtman, Julie Kroll, Jason Piette, Ewan Dunbar, and Andrew Stoddard serving as executive producers.
Going by his IMDb page, it looks like this is the third feature film for Hector Barron, who make his feature directorial debut with the 2001 dramedy Lloyd and followed that up with the 2013 comedy Josh Is Dying.
