The Girl in the Woods is an American horror television series created by Crypt TV, which premiered on Peacock on October 21, 2021.[1] It follows the story of a secret door protected by a cult, whose children suffer the aftermath after deciding to open it. The show stars Stefanie Scott, Misha Osherovich, and Sofia Bryant.
The series was created following the success of two similarly-titled short films, which it is loosely based on. The Girl in the Woods earned positive reviews from critics, who praised the scares and the performance of Scott, however some found its plot to be formulaic.

Background [edit]
Preceding short films [edit]
The Brute is a powerful creature that passes through a tear between dimensions. It is tall and sinewy, with slimy, peach skin, eyes veiled by flesh and massive, sharp teeth. It effortlessly decapitates its victims before devouring the flesh off of their bones. It carries a brand on its head, the same symbol worn on the clothing of the cult members.
The Door in the Woods premiered on YouTube in 2019. In The Door in the Woods, the children of a rural cult decide to open a locked door that their families have sworn to protect. Opening the door unleashes The Brute, a terrifying, supernatural creature. The monster devours Ben, the boy who opened the door, and quickly goes on a rampage through the compound, picking off cult members one-by-one. Carrie, the last child alive in the cult, manages to close the door, but not before losing both parents and her left arm. The Door in the Woods was directed by Joey Greene. Mark Villalobos was in charge of creature design and makeup special effects.[4]
On October 18, 2019, Crypt TV announced a sequel to The Door in the Woods, to be called The Girl in the Woods .[5] In the sequel, AD (Kal Penn) rescues Carrie, the titular girl in the woods, who helped unleash The Brute. Seven years later, adult Carrie (Peyton List) thinks back on life with AD and the fateful day the Brute got loose. AD trains Carrie to defend herself against The Brute and reminds her never to open the Door. When she's ready, he gives her a new arm that he has constructed out of metal, with a special blade made of material mined from the ground near the Door. With this blade, Carrie can defend herself against any of the creatures that come from the "wound" behind the door, including The Brute. The Girl in the Woods was written by David Calbert and Van Nguyen, and directed by Roxine Helberg.
