Beth (Courtney Halverson) and Jay (Mark Famiglietti) want to celebrate a one-year anniversary of Beth’s cancer remission. Apparently, neither of them is acquainted with horror classics, so they decide to go on a camping trip to the woods. Everyone familiar with the genre can easily imagine about a dozen different scenarios of how things might go wrong, and here Consumed offers its biggest (honestly - its only) surprise by introducing two menaces at once. First, Beth makes a gruesome discovery in the woods, and soon a skin stealing creature attacks the couple. Then, they are saved by a brooding, silent man (Devon Sawa) with a rifle. Valuable...

Consumed Interview
FandomWire: First of all, what drew you to work on Consumed?
Courtney Halverson: For me, this one was a very easy draw because I read the script, and I had one audition, which was just entirely filmed and remotely sent in. As an actor, normally, I send in an audition,...

Devon Sawa (Final Destination) is enough to pique horror fans’ interest in any indie project, especially if it comes from filmmakers known for making fun B-movies. Consumed, the latest film by The Butcher Brothers — the nickname for the filmmaking duo of director Mitchell Altieri and producer Phil Flores — follows a couple who gets stranded in the woods with a madman and a skin-stealing monster.
We at FandomWire got to speak with The Butcher Brothers about their latest horror effort, shooting in the woods, and why horror films like Consumed need a strong emotional through-line. Check out the interview below.
Consumed Interview
FandomWire: Folklore is a common source of inspiration for many horror movies, including Consumed. What do you think makes these stories lend themselves so well to the genre?
Mitchell Altieri: That’s a great question. For me, and I’m sure for Phil, you grow up with all these legends and myths and everything.

Watching horror movies about camping seems as much a beloved pastime as actual camping. The concept of campers being terrorized by someone or something in the great outdoors has timeless appeal. And Consumed, directed by Mitchell Altieri and written by David Calbert, boasts all the expected characteristics: a foreboding forest setting, unnatural forces hiding within nature, and people tapping into their primal instincts so they can survive. That’s all good and fine if standards for these kinds of movies are low to begin with, but for anyone hoping for a story that goes off the well-beaten path, then they might be better off looking elsewhere for their fill of camping horror.
Consumed immediately starts to feel familiar as the movie introduces its two main characters: city folks Beth (Courtney Halverson) and husband Jay (Mark Famiglietti) came out to the woods for some peace and quiet, only to then end...

Ever have one of those experiences where you stay the course because the whole time, you think you’re just about to find the point of the whole thing? Mitchell Altieri’s Consumed was exactly like that for me. I went in expecting a human foe. I can’t say the film didn’t deliver. I also expected a freaky monster tormenting the protagonists out in the middle of nowhere. And that too, Consumed didn’t deprive me of. But while ticking the boxes for what was supposed to be a fun little monster horror set in the wild, Altieri’s Consumed doesn’t outline the lore around its monster enough for it to be terrifying. And that would’ve worked out fine had it kept things on the atmospheric side when it came to the horror Beth and Jay’s camping trip landed them in. But there was a...
