The Woods is a 2006 American supernatural horror film directed by Lucky McKee and starring Agnes Bruckner, Patricia Clarkson, Rachel Nichols, Lauren Birkell, and Bruce Campbell. Set in 1965, its plot concerns a wayward teenage girl who is sent to a New England all-girls private high school which holds an ominous secret related to the staff, history and woods surrounding the school.

Production

After directing May (2002), Lucky McKee optioned the screenplay for The Woods, written by David Ross, to United Artists. While attending a screening of May at the Sitges Film Festival, he met his future wife, Vanessa, a storyboard artist who presented him a drawing of that film's title character. Once United Artists approved The Woods for production, McKeen asked Vanessa to collaborate on the project as a storyboard artist.

The Woods was shot in 2004 at Mels Cité du Cinema in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In a 2025 interview, McKee estimated the budget was $8 million.

During post-production, United Artists head Bingham Ray was replaced after the studio was bought out, resulting in some tension between McKee and the company. Following a test screening, McKee received overwhelmingly negative responses from audience members, resulting in United Artists firing the post-production team and hiring replacements.
