In the Forest

Obviously this film is not going to be a 10/10, but I can say for myself that it did at least keep my attention the whole time. The story is interesting, acting is subpar at best. The film however leaves many questions unanswered and definitely feels like they should've added at least another 5-10 minutes showing the aftermath of everything that occurred.

To round it up..This movie isn't the worst thing to have on and to give a chance at least. I believe its a solid 4/10.

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.

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.

Where do you begin with such a movie as this? The story, screenplay, plot - whatever you call it doesn't make it any better, the so-called acting was in most cases peurile. I always wonder HOW any of these people make a living! Plot - totally nonsensical and it was played as if neither the director, writer or producer had made up their own minds if it was a black comedy or drama or what genre it actually fitted into. It certainly wasn't TERROR or HORROR. Was there ANYTHING that the character Emily wasn't afraid of? Didn't like blood, descending into the basement, guns. Just the type of person you want to stake your life on in a life-threatening situation and every time a situation cropped up that she didn't like she went and found herself a cupboard to hide in.

This is one that needs to be given a wide berth.

If you can find acting worse than this, then it's being done on purpose. Bad acting, bad script, un-endearing characters, bad story.

Family gets their RV stuck in a two-inch hole on dry, solid ground (for real), then Gramps gets a near-lethal wound from a flying nail.

Stupid woman then panics and runs through a forest...

Oh, forget it.
