What happened to Elliott Cornell in the summer of 2007? Find out in A Sea of Trees, a true crime-inspired found footage horror film written and directed by Scott Lyus (Walking Against the Rain). It follows a documentary crew into England’s Epping Forest as they try to uncover the mysterious disappearance of a vlogger almost two decades ago. “With A Sea of Trees, I want to create a film that feels disturbingly real, a story that taps into our collective obsession with missing-person cases and the addictive pull of viral true crime,” said Lyus. “This film dives headfirst into that phenomenon, exploring the volatile collision of grief, spectacle, and belief, asking what happens when the camera stops observing and starts influencing events.” He continued, “Set within the shadowed depths of Epping Forest, a landscape rich with folklore, disappearances, and centuries of whispered history, the film uses its very real atmosphere to anchor an escalating supernatural mystery. By fusing the immediacy of documentary storytelling with creeping paranormal dread, A Sea of Trees blurs the boundary between fact and myth.” Former Dread Central editor-in-chief Mary Beth McAndrews produces alongside Lyus and Chris Nials under their Crossroad Pictures banner. “This is a story designed to grip true crime devotees, thrill horror fans, and immerse viewers in an experience that feels less like watching a film and more like uncovering something they were never meant to see,” Lyus added. Further details are being kept tightly under wraps, but stay tuned for more as we learn it.

Netflix has unleashed the official trailer for Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola’s (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow, Violent Night) new shark attack horror movie Thrash, which will begin streaming on April 10. The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violent content, some grisly images, and language.” Watch the official trailer for Netflix and Tommy Wirkola’s Thrash below. In Thrash, “When a Category 5 hurricane decimates a coastal town, the storm surge brings devastation, chaos…and something far more frightening: hungry sharks.” Wirkola said in a statement, “I became obsessed with sharks after Jaws—and Jaws 2, which is an underrated movie. I spent a lot of my childhood obsessing over sharks and whatever movie was made about that subject. Fast forward to a world going off its rails when it comes to global warming and flash floods happening everywhere, and it dawned on me that this could be a great setting-off point for a movie, combining the idea of a disaster-movie with a shark-thriller.” Producer Adam McKay adds, “More and more, you’re hearing marine biologists acknowledge that climate is changing where these sharks go. It’s changing how they behave. So, in as much as this is an edge-of-your-seat popcorn film, the science behind it is not implausible.” -PRODUCER Adam McKay Phoebe Dynevor (“Bridgerton”), Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2), and Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Part II) star in Tommy Wirkola’s Thrash. The cast for the Netflix shark attack horror movie also includes Alyla Browne, Stacy Clausen, Costa D’Angelo, Amy Mathews, Elijah Ungvary, Dante Ubaldi, Jon Prasida, Gemma Dart, Akosia Sabet, Sian Luxford and Sami Afuni.
