Horror thriller "The Burial" unleashes a murderous plot

The horror and thriller The Burial (2021) has been described as a mix between Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods (2011) and Sam Raimi’s A Simple Plan (1998). In it, after his estranged brother mysteriously contacts him, a man and his girlfriend answer the call, only to find themselves unwittingly dragged into a murderous plot with severe consequences.

The movie follows Molly’s boyfriend after he gets a phone call from his estranged brother. She thinks nothing of joining him on an impromptu family reunion at a remote cabin. However, she soon finds herself taking charge of a deadly situation when the trip’s true purpose is revealed and good intentions lead to a conflict with pure evil.

This is the debut feature of the writer and director Michael Escalante, who has also been the composer and the editor of the film. The main cast is formed by Spencer Weitzel, Faith Kearns, Aaron Pyle, and Vernon Taylor.

The movie is set for a digital release on March 3, 2023, by Terror Films.
