Spirit in the Woods

I think the acting was meant to represent real college students, not actors. If you watch it as if it were real, you'd see it in a different light.

The actors looked like real people, not models...that was a plus. It also didn't contain a lot of CGI "stuff" that other people try to use to scare you. The only problem I had with it was it wasn't creepy enough though it did keep you guessing about when and where the bad guy/girl would jump out.

Was the acting stellar? No but it wasn't nearly as bad as advertised. I watched "The Apparition" with Ashley Green (Alice from Twilight) and she was absolute TRASH in it...you EXPECT stellar acting from her, not these guys.

I'm not claiming it's great but it's not bad...decent for such a low budget and worth a look if you like found footage films.

I knew this movie was in trouble when across the screen toward the beginning, it printed that the filmmakers did "are" best to recover the footage. "Are "instead of "our?" Really? Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed. The actors didn't really act, and didn't seem to care that they didn't care. I kept hoping during the first hour that it would somehow get better perhaps when the action picked up, but the action in the first hour didn't pick up. The acting got no better. So, the entire first hour absolutely sucked, and the final part wasn't even scary. Waste of time. I think my own teenagers could have pulled it off better. It seemed a throwaway, just get it done mishmash.

Right from the trailer, I knew I was being subjected to garbage. This movie is complete bilge. I have seen YouTube videos made by teenagers and college students that were less amateur than this movie. The acting is terrible, it looks like it was edited on iMovie by an 8 year old and it looks like it was shot on a freaking cellphone camera. I'd be less than surprised if Anthony Daniel just pocketed the money, got a few people who were willing to work for free, shot it on an iPhone and edited it half-assedly on Windows Movie Maker, because the funding I know for a fact that he secured should have at least paid for a good camera and good editing software if he was using it right. That amber alert poster looks like it was made on Paint. The improv is so unnatural that it makes me want to set myself on fire. The pacing is god awful. Nothing happens until the very freaking end and even still, I don't know what in god's name I'm looking at.

There's really not much else to say. The movie is garbage and that's all there is to it.

This is a pretty amazing pointless movie, like the others reviewers stated, that's nothing going on for most of the time, and when it's happening something, it's like it wasn't, since it's so incredibly boring.

The acting, the script, the woods, they're beyond terrible, and the story is completely uninteresting or scary at all. There isn't any moment in the movie that scares you or make you chill.

They're supposed to be deep in the woods, but for at least for a couple of times, you can clearly listen the cars passing by in a road very close.

If you wan't a good night sleep, you shouldn't hesitate on watching this, or if you're still afraid to fall asleep because of Freddy Kruger, then this is the cure, because you will sleep safe and sound in the woods for sure.

It couldn't be more static even if it was broadcast by radio.

So, stay away from the nap! Best regards

Objectively speaking, this movie has terrible acting, the first 55 minutes is wandering the woods, rambling, where nothing happens, the camera pans around and you think you might see something, which can be kind of cool, but so deep into the movie and nothing has happened is a stretch to even call it a movie... then when anything does happen, you see a white faced wraith like face, and that is IT. That's it. That's all you get... some shook up guys, a guy with blood on his hands and shirt, blurry camera-work, a long narrative, and that is it.

I am astonished how the producer even considered funding this movie. It's devoid of redeeming qualities, it blows my freaking' mind.

The producer actually told me he funded it just to make an easy return to fund his own projects....

Yes, that's the truth, any movie no matter how bad will make money, because you can make a very formulaic horror film for so little these days and get some kind of return, can't argue with you there, but it is dragging down the genre big time when all one is doing it for is the money.
