Murder in the Woods passes my “three jump” test. It’s really your classic cabin-in-the-woods horror flick. Fun to watch with your friends or that one person you can cling to while watching. Like the writer de León said, “It’s not Shakespeare. It’s a fun film to have a good laugh and be scared a bit.” There are some solid performances by the cast and of course you have el veterano, Danny Trejo in the mix.

I got a chance to chat with Chelsea Rendon, Soledad St. Hilaire, and Yelyna de León. We didn’t talk much about the movie because we didn’t want to give any spoilers but I think they are fun interviews that you’ll enjoy. So watch below.

He is immediately smitten with Fernanda (Jeanette Samano), a sweet girl from Chicago whom he hasn’t seen in years.
