A Director's Cut: Monsters in the Woods Trailer: From director J. Horton: "In 2012 my creature feature, Monsters in the Woods was released. Due to several outside restrictions, it wasn't the movie I had envisioned, and it never got the kind of release it deserved. Well, in 2016, after a lengthy rights battle I finally got the movie back and was able to re-edit and release it however I saw fit.

A Director's Cut: Monsters in the Woods has been re-edited from top to bottom. The structure has been changed, alternate takes and footage have been Incorporated. It'll never be 100% the movie I set out to make, but this is the closest to that we'll ever see.

And now with a much wider distribution net, it'll be seen by most for the first time."

Synopsis: "An independent film crew treks into the woods to shoot a monster movie. Their plans go awry when real monsters attack and life imitates art."

Written and directed by J. Horton, A Director's Cut: Monsters in the Woods stars Glenn Plummer, Lee Perkins, Curt Mega, and Linda Bella.
