Horror in the Forest

The acting in this is bad even for an indie film. Its basically a carbon copy of blair witch project with small differences. The actors stare straight into the camera and talk the whole movie and pause dramatically right before anything remotely scary is going to happen. I would have stopped watching 5 minutes into the movie if I hadn't paid for it, which I only did because somehow this has an 8.8/10 on here. Camera quality was actually really good but the acting and story line was so horrible. Predictable ending. Its really annoying because most of the movie is spent watching them walk around the forest talking with nothing happening, and the final 4 minutes of the movie is the only part with anything interesting happening. 0/10 wish i could get my money back.

Kudos to DBS Films! They did a great job building suspense and I really enjoyed Nelson's character! The whole time I was watching I couldn't help but wonder "so what's the truth?" There's something about that forest that turns people crazy.. perhaps it's the unimaginable grief that they experience (because I started to truly believed that they were as unhinged as the character..) Great acting and screenwriting overall. I think the storyline or script could have used more drama or world building to really draw in the audience and captivate us with the array of unsolved abductions. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this indie horror film.

I don't understand why they haven't been sued by the writers of The Blair Witch Project. Its like The Blair Witch but....auful. Also is very poor visually. They are all spotlessly clean...while camping in the apparent deep dark wood, while being tormented by crazy locals and a witch. It looks like a studio or well maintained play park, I feel the illusions of deep forest was never there to begin with. No depth to storyline or characters. I feel like many of the reviews here are likely by family/friends of the cast and crew as the stars awarded and reviews given are a far cry away from the true waste of time that is this film.

The acting is terrible and the storyline is taken right from The Blair Witch, including the final girl filming herself and apologizing to her parents and the stick figures hanging from trees. The characters are boring and give you no reason to care about their survival. What little effects there are aren't terrible, but they're not good either. I was hoping for a low-budget found footage film, but this one really scraped the bottom of the barrel. There isn't a single good actor in the entire film, and the cinematography is so cheesy and gives every jump scare away. Overall, it's unoriginal and not worth watching.

Have you seen Blair Witch Project? This is the knock off version of that, and everything that gives found footage a bad name. It adds absolutely nothing creative, has bad acting, and shaky cam all over the place. So bad you barely see anything.

The opening scene was creepy, and neat. But that is the highlight of the entire film, and it only goes down hill from there. They don't even try and give back story to the witch, or how she might have got there.

Just she makes people go missing in the woods. Like they try and frame it as a documentary. They could have pretended to do research into the legend more. But all round the film is dull.
