The Woods

The Woods (2006) is a slow-burn horror film directed by Lucky McKee that you can watch online on iFILM. Set in 1965 New England, it follows Heather, a troubled teenager dropped off at a remote all-girls boarding school by parents who are done with her. The other students and the faculty alike want nothing to do with her — and then the girls start disappearing.

Heather's visions put her closer to the truth than anyone around her is willing to admit. Agnes Bruckner carries the film's quiet dread, and Patricia Clarkson is unsettlingly composed as the headmistress with something to hide. McKee keeps the forest itself as the real threat — no cheap jumps, just a creeping sense that the trees are hungry. Stream The Woods (2006) on iFILM.
