Blackwoods

In the shadowed pines of Colorado’s high country, a solitary couple seeks an uneasy refuge after a tragedy that has haunted their every step. Matt Sullivan carries a weight of guilt that has eroded his sense of reality, while his girlfriend, Dawn, hopes the remote estate known as Blackwoods will offer a brief escape from the past that clings to them both. The sprawling, weather‑worn property stands at the edge of a dense forest, its quiet grandeur whispering of generations lived in isolation.

The atmosphere of Blackwoods is as much a character as the people who inhabit it. Fog rolls between ancient trees, and the thin mountain air seems to amplify every unspoken tension. The locals they encounter along the winding road are tight‑lipped, their wary glances hinting at histories that are not easily shared. A lone sheriff, Sheriff Harding, appears at the edge of the couple’s journey, his cautious curiosity adding a thin layer of unease to an already strained sense of safety.

Within the creaking walls of the estate, the couple is drawn into an increasingly disquieting world where the line between memory and present blurs. Secrets linger in every hallway, and the family that resides there holds onto traditions that feel both comforting and oppressive. As night deepens, the isolation of the mountains amplifies the couple’s inner turmoil, suggesting that the true darkness they must confront may be as much a product of the mind as of the surrounding woods. The film balances a slow‑burning dread with moments of fragile intimacy, leaving viewers to wonder how far a haunted soul can travel before the quiet of the forest overwhelms the fragile hope of redemption.
