Brenda Jennings sister went missing in the forest three years ago. The forest has a history of people disappearing into it and many blame the dense terrain but everyone knows the story of a bridge to nowhere and a creature without a face. Will Brenda find her missing sister or will she too disappear into the woods?

These Amazon shorts are hit or miss but It Waits In The Woods is mostly a hit. Of the Creature Feature series it has a good creature, solid characters, and a fun setting crammed into the short storyline.
