Going Hiking? Hold on to Your Pelt!
If you’re hiking in the woods of an area in Kentucky named Caveland you’re probably just asking for bad things to happen. Pelt purports to tell the tale of the bad things that befell seven hikers in July of 1991 when they decided to go camping in the woods of Caveland, Kentucky.
Sudden, gory death hides behind every bush. When beautiful Jennifer and her friends embark on a backpacking excursion deep into the woods, they come chest to chest with an evil as old as the trees. Listen…above the crackling of the campfire…is that the sound of a twig snapping or your best girlfriend’s neck? The interlopers discover that when the locals warn you not to trespass, it’s a warning you should heed.
Justin Welborn (The Crazies, The Final Destination), Ashley Watkins, and Travis Goodman star in this horror feature from director Richard Swindell, who also wrote the film with Oscar D. Gomez. What stuck out to me most in the trailer below was the line “FROM THE MASTERS OF TRUE CRIME…” According to IMDB, Swindell’s previous directing credits have all been true crime documentaries: Women on Death Row 2, Women on Death Row 3, Women on Death Row 4, and Munchausen Moms. Not sure that warrants of “masters of true crime” tag, but they’ve still got more of a claim on the title than Ulli Lommel.
Pelt won awards at the 2010 Big Bear Film Festival and now we will all get to experience the terror on March 8th when Osiris Entertainment releases the film to DVD. Have a look at the trailer below.
