What happens
The Shortcut is a 2009 American independent horror film directed by Nicholaus Goossen. The film stars Andrew Seeley, Shannon Woodward, Dave Franco, and Katrina Bowden. The plot centers on two brothers who discover a rarely used shortcut and learn its dark secret. Dan Hannon and Scott Sandler developed the screenplay in 2008 for Scary Madison Productions, the newly formed horror division of Happy Madison Productions, the production company of Sandler's brother Adam, and Leomax Entertainment, who financed and co-produced the film. Released in North America by Indigomotion, a division of Leomax, on September 29, 2009, the film received mixed reviews and was a commercial failure. It ended up being the only film under the Scary Madison label, as it was retired in response to the film's failure. The film was released on DVD and Blu-Ray in North America by Anchor Bay Entertainment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
