Unnerving THOSE WHO DESERVE TO DIE Trailer Heralds Upcoming Release

The trailer for upcoming indie horror thriller Those Who Deserve to Die becomes increasingly unnerving and unsettling as it plays.

At first, it appears to be a twist on the 'little girl gone evil' sub-genre. Then it becomes far more disturbing. Bret Wood directed, which may help to explain things; he has helmed several documentaries as well as the feature films Psychopathia Sexualis and The Unwanted.

Ahead of its release, here is the official synopsis:

"Two stories unfold in an idyllic Southern town. A series of gruesome murders occur, committed by a caped figure accompanied by a diabolical young girl (Alice Lewis). At the same time, an injured war veteran (Joe Sykes) returns to attend college, and becomes emotionally attached to a social worker (Rachel Frawley), the daughter of a State Supreme Court Justice (Lynn Lowry).

"As their relationship intensifies, connections between the victims and the veteran emerge, and Margaret realizes she may have the power to both rescue Jonathan and halt the rising tide of death. Inspired by Thomas De Quincey's novella The Avenger, Those Who Deserve to Die is an elegy to heroism and justice in a time of CGI superheroes and political hopelessness."

The film will be available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digitally on KinoNow August 18, 2020. The physical editions will include a number of extras, such as deleted scenes, promotional videos, and Bret Wood's short thriller Security (2007)
