John T It was so bad it was almost good. Looked like it was filmed in one day with a handful of town locals. The soundtrack which was supposed to sound ominous was actually hilarious. I couldn't help watching till the end which is testament to my poor taste. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Computey D No. No. The Bad Version of Just Before Dawn. No. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/23 Full Review Steve D Also don't watch this poor excuse for a slasher. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review justin t Amateurs could do better. Dreadful camerawork combined with terrible direction, lack of imagination and a total lack of visual storytelling. I reckon that this is the worst sounding movie ever. Horribly tiny, dubbing that does not fit, dreadful sound effects and no atmosphere.  They probably shouldn't have gone into the woods as the title advises. I advise not watching. There is no story, no acting, no merit. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is without a doubt one of the most boring slasher movies ever made! And to be honest, I have no idea what this film is even about. Oh ok, people getting killed in the woods by a maniac oh ok. The characters are something I should jump right into and then wrap it up quickly. The characters are bland and have almost zero characteristics. That all I can say. The rest of the movie is not memorable in the slightest and I doubt I'm ever watching this again anytime soon. Maybe in the future. But I mean far in the future. Boring movie, don't waste your time especially cause you're not really gonna remember it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is both funny and VERY cringeworthy...
