Brightwood

Jen and Dan’s marriage is hanging by a thread. So when they find themselves trapped in a time warp around their local pond, they’re forced to face the monsters both within and without.
BRIGHTWOOD uses its surreal plot to tell the darker story of
human relationships. But at its core, it’s a love story. One that
spirals down into a brutal, bloody finale. Love comes full circle.
