Synopsis
Distort 2: The Dead Among The Trees follows on from 2025’s Distort, which centered on a musician recording an album in the woods who discovers mysterious cassette tapes left for him. The recordings reveal the harrowing account of a woman researching an urban legend whilst being terrorized by a sinister man as well as his vicious dog. Before long, these sinister occurrences begin to happen to him as well… The previous film concluded with the shocking revelation that although she went missing 30 years prior, the woman was directly communicating with the musician in the present through her recordings.
In the sequel, director Richard Waters reprises his role as the musician, determined to help the woman escape her supernatural entrapment, this time documented by a film crew set out to reveal just how much of the previous film was real or in his mind.
