Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!

The main problem with this "video nasty" is that it is so amateurish in all possible ways that you can't believe it! The central plot consists of a bunch of irritating people walking endlessly in the local woods, one of them being perhaps even more irritating than the rest, a good ol' boy scout beardo lecturing on how you "must never go in the woods... alone", and the next thing he suggests is, when one of the guys disappears into the woods, he'll probably be alright and come back soon.

There are so many "passers-by" in the so-called backwoods that you wish you were back in some peaceful place such as New York!! The thing with these passers-by is that they literally are so, being slaughtered immediately, even before they have the chance to ask: "Who's there behind that bush?"

The only thing that is not amateurish in this mess of a film is the incredible gore (with the exception of the final scene that is), and if I were to give stars to the f/x, they would be much higher than what the film is worth.

The eventual feeling is a bit dizzy after so many panoramic, horizontal camera runs and such a dosage of mind-altering synth hell. But overall, I somewhat enjoyed the inspiration behind this. I have seen worse "fan" films, let's say Violent Shit by the dreary Andreas Schnaas. So, it all begs the question: "compared to... what?" Watch at your own risk.
