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.

The ending is the worst ending of a movie I've seen in a really long time! Here is right before the ending: She has a gun, sees the one trying to kill her is still alive, puts gun down to ring the police on a landline that probably isn't even working and then runs upstairs to get away from him leaving the gun behind! Enough said? Terrible movie.

I wasted 82 minutes of my life to watch this! It's terrible avoid avoid avoid!

I also had to write this and I never write reviews just so people know how terrible this movie was! Urgh!!!! Avoid it at all costs! Or watch it for a laugh! You might enjoy it!

Yes, this picture is just that...pretty standard fare. If you have seen more than say five or six movies, you have certainly seen all these twists and turns before. I knew exactly what was going on at about twenty minutes in. Don't get me wrong, it was filmed well. The cast acted it out pretty decent. The scenery was solid. But there was absolutely nothing new here...nothing. I will say that I was glad to see that the dog wasn't hurt. LOL I gave this one a six. Like I already said, what is there was done pretty decently, but there just isn't a single thing here that can be even thought of as new. But if you don't have anything else to do, this will pass the time. As always, Thank You and ENJOY!!!

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.

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.
