The trailer for Danse Macabre’s horror film “Crone Wood, coming to Video On Demand and DVD February 1, shows a frightening story of a trip to the woods.

This horror film from Ireland seems like it will have many jump scares and dark scenes that would be great to watch in a dark room.

A young couple embark on a camping adventure in the countryside. They choose Crone Wood, an infamous spot with a history of witches and folklore. But as the darkness settles, strange noises start to be heard and mysterious lights are spotted between the trees. What starts out as a curiosity, quickly descends into a nightmare as they discover that the horrors of Crone Wood go far beyond local legend. Thrown into a world of cults and ritualistic murder, they quickly discover that pagan Ireland is alive and well.

 “Crone Wood” includes cast members Elva Trill and Ed Murphy.

Watch the incredible trailer for Netflix’ “I Care A Lot,” coming to Netflix February 19.

In the trailer the drama is clear and the story seems to only get more intense.

Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson (Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike) is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It’s a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran (Eiza González) use with brutal efficiency on their latest “cherry,” Jennifer Peterson (two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest) — a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family. But when their mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster (Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage), Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play — one that’s neither fair, nor square.

The cast of “I Care A Lot” includes Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Chris Messina, Macon Blair, Alicia Witt, Damian Young, with Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Dianne Wiest and is written and directed by  J Blakeson.

There’s no documentary like a National Geographic’s documentary and these clips show how “Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller,” the season 1 finale airing on January 13, 20211 at 9/8C, show an example of the kind of footage that the series is able to get to be able to capture the intensity of the situation.
