Hidden in the Woods (Spanish: En las afueras de la ciudad) is a 2012 Chilean splatter film directed by Patricio Valladares and co-written by Andrea Cavaletto and Valladares. It features a mixed cast of relatively unknown actors and well-known Chilean comedians, including Siboney Lo, Carolina Escobar, Daniel Antivilo, José Hernandez, Domingo Guzman, Daniel Candia and Nicole Perez. An English-language remake with the same name, also directed by Valladares, was released in 2014.^[1][2]

Ana and Anny, along with their deformed brother/son, live in the desolate southern Chilean countryside, having been sheltered from society by their drug dealer father their entire lives. One day, the police arrive to investigate, and after a violent altercation, the siblings are forced to flee. They are also pursued by their father's crazed drug kingpin boss, Uncle Costello, who believes the sisters know the location of his valuable supply. Costello sends a group of trained killers after them, but they soon discover that the siblings are more dangerous than they appear. Amidst a world of bloody executions, roadside prostitution, sexual assault, and even cannibalism, the body count rises.^[3]
