Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The capable actors do what they can with the dull material, and a meta twist in the final act adds a slight jolt to what is otherwise a completely rote monster-in-the-woods story. Rated: C- Mar 30, 2021 Full Review MontiLee Stormer MovieReelist.com I can understand being a fan of the genre and wanting to write a movie because who doesn't, but honestly, Rootwood isn't feature-length material. Rated: 1/5 Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat There is not a moment of dialogue that feels spontaneous or genuine. Rated: 2/10 Jun 24, 2020 Full Review Matt Donato Flickering Myth Have you seen any single example of a found footage flick set in thick forest isolation? Then you've seen Rootwood. Rated: 1.5/5 May 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Overly colorized, poorly acted, godawful writing. Found footage horror flick that doesn't seem to understand what makes the genre interesting or scary. A must-see if you enjoy watching bad actors struggling with tedious dialog as they navigate through an implausible plot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This whole movie seemed so forced. And the audio quality is..just..horribad... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
