The production companies behind hit gothic horror The Baby in the Basket (Shepka Productions, Flickering Myth and Jolliffe Productions) announce their new suspense thriller Death Among the Pines.
This Hitchcock inspired mystery stars Nicolette McKeown (Mercy Falls, Damaged), Nathan Shepka (Dead Before They Wake, The Baby in the Basket), Stephen Kerr (The Defender) and Olly Bassi (Dick Dynamite: 1944).
The film follows Angela (McKeown), who lives in peace in the Scottish countryside, sharing a farmhouse with her husband (Bassi). One night during a particularly bad storm and while her husband is away on work, there is a knock at the door.
There stands Kevin (Shepka), shivering and wet claiming his tyre is busted and he’s stranded in the storm. Angela warily lets him in to shelter for a while but with the phonelines down, she has no choice but to let him stay the night.
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.
Death Among the Pines will release early 2026 with the trailer set to premiere later this year.
