‘She Came from the Woods’ Director Erik Bloomquist Talks Improving on the Summer Camp Slasher Formula [Video]
Dread Central recently had the good fortune to chat with She Came from the Woods co-writer and director Erik Bloomquist about his latest feature. The creator spoke to improving upon the established template for summer camp slashers, injecting heart into his narrative, and subverting audience expectations.
She Came from the Woods takes place on the last day of the season at Camp Briarbrook. The staff (which includes multiple members of the McCalister family) is on hand after the departure of the campers, to close up the grounds for the season. But a distraction presents itself by way of local lore. According to legend, the spirit of the nurse Agatha haunts the woods surrounding the camp. So, while they are closing up shop, a handful of counselors set out to lure the late nurse back to the grounds. The attempt initially appears unsuccessful. But the camp employees ultimately find themselves unexpectedly entwined in a series of visceral events that may or may not be related to the ritual in which they previously partook.
