My first impression of the ‘Ghost of the Ozarks’ trailer is it plays on the tension and storytelling of M. Night’s ‘The Village’ but with a different layer of regional horror. Don’t go into the woods or…the ghost will get you. But the interesting twist here is they seem to worship the ghosts like a new wave religion. Keeping those within the walls of the town trapped for seemingly all eternity, as if they themselves are the ghosts. Check out the trailer below.
