The indie slash flick BEWARE has been tearing up the festival circuit and it sounds like the praise is well deserved. Even Anything Horror’s very own Deggsy, who reviewed the film back in 2011, enjoyed it. BEWARE is directed by Jason Daly, written by Daly and Shawn Copenhaver, and stars Adam Leadbeater, Lorena King, Cecilia Huete, Vivi Pineda, Eddy Acosta, and Alex Livinalli. Recently BEWARE was nominated for three WideScreen Film Festival Awards. Check out the press release (which contains the plot crunch):

BEWARE stars Adam Leadbeater, Alex Livinalli, Lorena King and Cecilia Huete, among others.

Full Synopsis:

The town of Shady Grove holds many dark secrets. Amongst those secrets is the sadistic tale of “Shane”, a boy who was tortured and chained to a tree as a youngster. Legend has it that for years he survived in the woods all alone until one day he managed to escape. Now, damaged and broken, he wanders those woods in search of blood, with his trademark chains fused to his wrists. Despite years of tales and urban myths, no proof of his existence has ever been discovered, until five unsuspecting teens reveal the truth on an ill-fated trip.

BEWARE is expected to be released later in 2015 – more updates coming soon.
