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.

Weird how there are over 15 10 star reviews for this movie when it has this rating. Almost like those could have purchased? Just a theory.

Boring Blair witch rip off. I knew it was bad in first 5 minutes. Mother and daughter hike into deep woods and don't start setting up camp until dark. I would have loved to see them drag thar giant, non collapsible, patio chair all the way out there. I guess it was just there?

Set up fire, and then start setting up tent. No firelight brightening the tent building, but I guess the moon was out, full, and about 100,000 miles closer to earth than it should have been to produce that light. Still better than day for night I suppose.

Then, the daughter starts screaming that she saw something, and the mother bursts into the tent and whines that it's 3am and the was sleeping. Why was she not sleeping in the tent?

Finally, they used a round template to make it look like the entire Forrest wasn't lut by their foray of lights. They thought that would make it look like it was just a single flashlight? It looked awful, it was kind of nauseating, and they did it for a good portion of the movie.

I don't even want to continue talking about this further. It's just making me angry. Why do such a direct Blair witch rip off in 2023?

DBS Films is an Indie Film Production Company that gets everyone involved with whole movie making process. Making Movies for the Fans with the Fans. In the latest, (Horror in the Forest Film). Get the feel of 1999 Found Footage Movie,As you go down the rabbit hole with Nelson as he continues his search for his missing daughter. And who or what is in the Woods. Don't let the children go into the woods you never know what's lurking. Grab your flashlight and a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the latest film from DBS Films. You'll never feel the same about Camping in the Woods ever again. Gotta LOVE the Intro Girl.

I'll give it a couple of stars because the acting wasn't the worst (but not great) and the filming wasn't the worst (but not great). The story moved extremely slowly. It seemed like they really had to work hard to stretch it out to make it a movie rather than a short film. Even at 80 minutes there were multiple scenes that could have been eliminated and not affected the story line one bit. There was nothing original in the whole film.

I also find it interesting that all the rave reviews were written in about a one week span. You definitely have to have a vested interest to consider this a great movie.

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.
