La noche de la bruja

Jill is the lead character and the absolute worst part of this movie. The woman that acted her part did great, but her character design was irritating. Someone would tell her something that was obvious but she would rail against it. It's like someone telling her the sky is blue and she would not believe them and argue against it while looking at the blue sky.

Then people keep saying to wait for help, but the driver said they only had about two hours worth of gas left in the truck and no one knew they were out in the middle of no where in the freezing cold... Who was going to save them if they just waited? Also, the love triangle is way over done and not done well in this movie.

Anyway, it has pretty good atmosphere, but there was not even one likable character in this movie. I spent my time deciding what order they should die in from the most unlikable to the least unlikable. It did not go in the order I had hoped unfortunately.

None of the characters were likable. The acting was fine, it was well filmed, story was so-so.

Overall an average rating. It could've been a very good film, had the characters been worth rooting for.

A group of young friends take a shortcut along an unfamiliar, snow covered road but end up getting stuck in the middle of nowhere (well in the woods actually, where apparently some witches were once tried, or something). In terms of horror it takes almost an hour for anything to happen, prior to that it is mainly the group arguing. The Blair Witch is an obvious influence, it does manage to be creepy at times, there is also a few decent gore scenes. But overall it is slow, boring, the acting is mediocre and there is no satisfactory explanation to the events.

'Witches in the Woods' is a good slasher with some thriller elements.

While it is mostly done by the book, you still get your set of absolutely despicable characters you really want to see dead, and they do, eventually.

It gets boring at times but is still watchable.

I can't really recommend it, but if you have some free time and you have nothing else to do, you can give it a try.

A bunch of young people are lost in the snowy forest. The increasing cold and psychological tensions (they are not exactly best friends) take their toll, and then there are legends of witches in that area. The forest is said to make you possessed. The photography is great, so many shots inside the car, even moving within that confined space, and the viewing angles never feel repetitive.

Despite the title, the movie never clearly shows anything supernatural going on, whether possession or just psychological issues are to blame for the murders is not explained, and I like that something is left open for the audience to make their own impression. Unfortunately, there are no sympathetic characters you'd care about, therefore the danger they get into isn't making you sit on the edge of your seat. OK to watch, I voted 5 of 10, but it didn't fulfil my expectations entirely.
