Stranger in the Woods

After narrowly surviving a suicide attempt in her bath, Olivia, her friends and beloved dog head for a much needed break at a cabin in the woods, the tranquility is short lived, as a killer is keen to take the party down, one by one.

A rating of 3.6.....really, compared to some of the dross I've endured recently, this is much, much better, clearly made on a shoestring, but for me it held up pretty well.

It didn't try to be super clever, or go for two much, simple and straightforward, and that was the charm, very easy viewing, and at just over eighty minutes long, it didn't lull, pacing was actually pretty decent.

It was never going to hit the mainstream, but if you're a horror fan, and keen on the low budget horror flicks, I can definitely recommend it.

I thought writer Holly Kenney wrote quite an interesting story here, and I couldn't fault her acting performance either, good job all round.

6/10.

What did I just suffer for 82 flipping minutes, bad dialogue, dry character development, worst performance by actors. I did not enjoyed this film not one bit because it's very dry, cinematography was lackluster, script was poop and very stupid, jack off to screen monitors is actually hilarious. None of the actors did not have the best dialogue and they did not tried hard enough. Here's why? 1. Character name Olivia was such a bad character growth depth, her husband Cole was upset because Olivia said no and Cole killed himself, that was actually hilarious and ridiculous that I was laughing my butt for this type of film. Olivia lost her dog in the next day and it's a montage of looking for a dog which is actually stupid instead they found a dead fox in a bear trap which that sounds accurate but at least one of the characters ½ brother is a good amish looking person which he is the funniest part of the film which I do appreciated the enjoyment of a 2 out of 10 instead of like uggghhhh best horror film of this year. Let me explain you something there, OUT of DARKNESS is the best film of this year so far 10/10 and no one tops the hat off to you, Double Blind is a 9/10 this was a excellent movie 10% of it was nit picky, Lovely, Dark and Deep is a 6/10 because it looks like a perfect example of Yellowstone National Park as an Horror Film. This film called Stranger In the Woods is a stupid movie name, with a mediocre storyline and a very poor script as well as production value. Next time be more scarier like Sister Death or When Evil Lurks those 2 rocks!! In conclusion very stupid and pretty bad acting and screenplay all around. The storyline made little sense (if the cops were called twice why did it take them so long to show up?) and the writing was bland, boring, and lacking. Overall not worth your time, hard to call this a thriller. This maybe the funniest film of 2024 and.

The 48 awards this movie supposedly won are from non-existent film festivals. Basically, there are hundreds of festivals that exist in name only on blogs. Just submit your movie poster and be named winners. There are thousands of categories to possible.

I'm glad I didn't waste any time watching this movie. It has to be absolutely retched, since movie insiders had to write some over the top positive reviews.

Lousy uninspired acting, trite setting, typical unhinged woman whose friends don't believe her. At least for once the dog didn't end up butchered on the porch. I'm guessing it needed time away from the unhinged woman too.

Low budget attempt at a horror/ slasher drama.

Firstly, I am not going too hard on a movie that clearly has a small budget and made independently. That being said, this is poor by any standard.

The direction, the editing, the sound design, the acting, the script, the plot and cinematography is all poor. I can only imagine what someone like Sam Raimi would have done with something like this.

This is Holly Kenney's first stab at doing a screenplay and it shows. It doesn't help that she has decided to play the lead character herself.

There are strange scenes all over the place. The dog, who is the best actor in the film, disappears and reappears for little or no reason.

This wasn't the most original plot. The plot twist was very predictable. The acting was acceptable at this budget level. A couple of the cast members actually did well. This is as better than expected. One of its biggest problems was the director. Choices made hurt the film. The ridiculous use of slo-mo became comical by the end.
