The Forest

While travelling along a remote forest road with her mother, a young girl ventures into the forest during a brief roadside stop. When she hears the distant sound of children laughing, curiosity draws her deeper into the forest. But as the road disappears from sight, the laughter begins to change and an innocent moment quickly becomes something far more unsettling. Lost, frightened and increasingly certain she is not alone, she must find her way back before whatever is hiding amongst the trees finds her first.
