"It's akin to a contagious infection... once she infiltrates, she establishes herself as an unwavering, omnipresent force." "Who, might I ask, are you alluding to?" Shudder unveiled an official trailer for the indie horror flick titled 825 Forest Road, crafted by filmmaker Stephen Cognetti. For those eager to uncover the mysteries of 825 Forest Road, the streaming platform will host it in April.
Following a heart-wrenching family tragedy, Chuck Wilson harbors hopes of rekindling his life in Ashland Falls, accompanied by his wife Maria and his younger sister Isabelle. However, his fresh start is soon marred by the revelation that the town harbors a sinister secret. The apparition of a woman has haunted the town for decades, and Chuck must track her down to lift this eerie curse. This film, helmed by the creator of the Hell House LLC saga, marks his debut outside the found footage genre. The horror flick boasts a stellar cast including Elizabeth Vermilyea, Joe Falcone, Kathryn Miller, Lorenzo Beronilla, Darin F. Earl II, and Leyah Rose. "825 Forest Road twists the haunted house narrative into something that will linger in your mind long after the credits have vanished." Is it terrifying?
The narrative revolves around Chuck Wilson, who embarks on a new chapter in his life after enduring a familial calamity, relocating to Ashland Falls with his wife Maria and his little sister Elizabeth. Yet, his fresh beginning is swiftly tainted by the discovery of the town's grim secret. Helen Foster's ghost has plagued its residents for decades, stemming from her suicide in the '40s. Locating Helen's former abode holds the key to ending the hauntings, but the address they possess bears no resemblance to any of the town's existing streets. As Chuck realizes his family might fall prey to Helen's vengeful wrath, he decides to find 825 Forest Road before it's too late.
Written and directed by indie genre maven Stephen Cognetti, who has previously helmed all four Hell House LLC horror films and several shorts, 825 Forest Road is produced by Joe Bandelli, Dana Guerin, and Cindi Rice. Shudder will premiere Cognetti's 825 Forest Road on its streaming service starting April 4th, 2025, just around the corner this spring. Does it promise to be a thrilling watch?
