The Woods
A deconstruction of the horror genre, with a refreshingly low body count, directed by Lucy Mckee.
It follows Heather, a rebellious teenager played by Agnes Bruckner, who is sent to an all-girl boarding school set against a large and spooky forest. She is given a scholarship after circling random answers on a test paper and starts to make a strong friend, and possible lover, in the nerd girl Marcy. From there we see Heather slowly realise that the school is not all it seems and that the teachers running the school are very closely linked to the forest and the recent disappearance of classmate.
Not to be confused with The Wood or Into the Woods.
Tropes used in The Woods include:
- No Romantic Resolution: Marcy and Heather; they fail to even verbally acknowledge each other after Heather finds her alive and her father saves them.
