3/4

[T]hough we've seen this story dozens of times before, director Luis Iga Garza and screenwriter Yelyna De Leon deliver a darkly funny, self-aware and deliberately (I would think) cliché-riddled screamer.

While I hoped for a bigger blast of creativity with Murder in the Woods, I'm happy for its professionalism and its inclusion of Latinx moments and references.

Succeeds as a very good and often tense slasher film that unabashedly embraces the classic slasher set up.

B-

Something is endearing about a film that isn't desperate to impress. Instead, it announces itself as a drive-in special that could serve up some good times with a unique spin.

Doesn't revolutionize the stranded in the woods genre, but it plays the hits well making for an entertaining horror thriller.

A slasher love letter with a focus on diversity, "Murder in the Woods" may not reinvent the genre, but it is an entertaining romp through tried and true tropes that paves the way for more inclusive storytelling and casting.

What got me to watch this movie was Roeper's review. It's spot on. Great laughs and jumps.

A fun, campy slasher... feels like it could have been released in the 80s. Good homage to the classics.
