This just in, Flickering Myth and Jollif Productions have a new thriller in the works titled Death Among the Pines.

Synposis
The film follows Angela (McKeown), who lives in peace in the Scottish countryside, sharing a farmhouse with her husband (Bassi). One night during a heavy rainstorm, a stranded stranger knocks on the door of Angela’s country cottage, claiming his car has broken down. Angela lets him in to shelter but soon a police officer arrives, asking questions, amid conducting a manhunt for an escaped criminal. Angela puts two and two together, but is there more to it than meets the eye?
Soon there is another knock at the door; a police officer (Kerr) who is conducting a manhunt. Angela begins to put two and two together. Could she be harbouring a killer and fugitive from the law or is there more to it than that?
Death Among the Pines is directed by Nathan Shepka from a script by Tom Jolliffe (The Baby in the Basket, Cinderella’s Revenge). Shepka and Jolliffe also produce alongside Gary Collinson of Flickering Myth, while executive producers include Sanatan Kadakia, Kira Reed and Nick Redmond.
Coming Soon
Death Among the Pines will release early 2026 with the trailer set to premiere later this year.
Malevolent Dark has had the pleasure of reviewing several films from this production team: The Baby in the Basket (2024), When Darkness Falls (2022) and Dead Before They Wake (2025). If the trend holds, we can expect another heavy dose of high production, heavy action and surgical cinematography.
