      steve d I had hoped for something fun and different but this one is just incompetent. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I felt compelled to write what a horrible movie this was. At no time was this movie good in any, way, shape, or form. I have now wasted one precious covid year of my life by watching this, and my God have mercy on my soul. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy crap, this movie is horrible. I wanted the entire cast to die within the first 5 minutes. Seriously, this film sucks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst movie ever created Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A Glee horror movie how completely awful Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a tough one. There is some good, there is a lot of bad. Biggest note is this is a horror/musical. They did a very good job at first with this as I was not aware it was a musical for the first quarter of the movie. It centers around a band going camping in an effort to write songs. Naturally, they break into tune. That's to be expected. Then (I'll try not to ruin the plot,) out of nowhere a young woman breaks into song while walking to the car. No instruments like before. My first reaction was, "Hey, wait a minute. What is this?" That's how much of a distraction it is. From this point out, the music really seems to take you out of what's going on. It was passable when certain people sang/played instruments, but when background music started to play while people broke out into song, it simply completely takes you out of the movie. The movie follows an "indie" band trying to get a record deal. They are your typical hipsters. Not much to say, not very interesting. Luckily, the cast expands quickly and we get some characters with at least a bit of personality. The film is pretty low budget and the visuals do take some time to get used to. No idea what the visual effects were trying to accomplish. More headache inducing than anything. The plot...while this is the biggest criticism of the movie, I liked it. Most called it a tired, typical, and uninspired plot. I thought it was solid. Is originality a must in this genre? It takes a while for the movie to kick in, but when it does, it's a good, "old-fashioned slasher in the woods" flick. Couple of holes in the plot that can't really be chalked up to editing and leaves a few questions. Motive and execution are what makes the film enjoyable(to whatever level of enjoyment that may be for you.) I thought the ending was rather good(despite a huge hole. I'll just go ahead and say it, WATER and recording equipment) and leaves you angry, but in a good way. If you can tolerate the music taking you out of the movie and unlikeable characters, I recommend it. Then again, I'm a sucker for these types of endings, although it was apparent half way through.

      Robert Abele Los Angeles Times An undercooked, "Glee"-like hybrid of grating indie pop songs and forest slasher flick. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 9, 2012 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine Tethers together numerous indie-rock musical numbers with a backwoods-horror-film framework that's the definition of an afterthought. Rated: 1/4 Jan 13, 2012 Full Review David DeWitt New York Times "Don't Go in the Woods" would be ideal for a 3 a.m. slot on MTV. A couple of decades ago. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune It's a sloppy and rushed affair, built around shrug-worthy visuals, a recycled and clichd plot, and forgettable performances. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Michelle Orange Movieline Outside of the proxy satisfaction it will give those who are dying to see the grim reaper let loose on the set of a very special episode of Glee, the pleasures of Don't Go in the Woods can't quite compensate for its straggly bits. Rated: 6/10 Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com Horror and musical lovers unite, have I got a movie for you! Rated: 3/4 Dec 30, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
