In the Forest

Review By Kamal K

The movie direction is very stupid and done illogically. The movie is has such a good story but lack of logic and bad screenplay made the movie unwatchable.

I don't mind a low budget movie about a family going camping in the woods and meeting with a bad guy who tells them to get off their land.

However, the actions taken by the various people (especially the mother) are so illogical and silly that the movie just becomes totally irritating. Awful script and bad acting.

Saw this a while ago... don't remember much. It's that stupid. I seem to have survived the fright scenes, no residual ptsd! I also recall the grandfather being the worst actor among the amateur cast.

I went into this with an open mind, knowing it was going to be an "innocent-camper meets dangerous-backwoods-nutjob" kind of movie--and it was--however, the plot moved along quickly, keeping my interest throughout, and I must give recognition that I never knew exactly who the bad guys were until the end. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a suspenseful, fun movie that will have you yelling at the characters for their cliché horror movie mistakes and reminding yourself why it's important to always camp in official RV campgrounds.

I am always annoyed at the argument that a low budget movie can not be judged by the standards as big money productions. I strongly disagree with that. The inconsistencies throughout the movie and lack of acting talent where appalling and have nothing to do with the budget. Absolutely not worthwhile to give it a shot. I regret having spent the time on it.
