Something Walks in the Woods

Well, if you've seen it, congrats to you! You either enjoyed it or wondered who you need to talk to about getting that time back for watching it. I am on the fence, so I am not thrilled, but didn't hate it either. It won't watch it a second time, but I won't say I wasted my time because I found it interesting at first. My real gripe is that I was invested in the Figure in the beginning and it did delve further. I have another one at the end, but for the sake of spoiling it, I won't mention it. I'll say, there is some over-acting. The effects were meh, but get an A for effort.

Not much for substance and there are many better mockumentary films out there, but I have seen much much worse mockumentaries. 5/10 maybe C grade movie.

I urge anyone reading the reviews here to look at how many people found them helpful or not, because some of these reviews are glowing, or at least.. nicer than is deserved, but have few people agreeing. This movie was an OK attempt at indie horror that I don't quite wish I hadn't bothered with, but I'm someone who enjoys low budget horror with single writers who could've used editing help. The fact that this pretended for a while to be a documentary, vs a minimal-budget horror film, doesn't win it any points in my book. Watch it if bored and curious about local urban legends, but don't expect any real climax or resolution.

I like the premise behind this film and the erieness that encompases it. It has a very raw vibe and so with that said you must prepare to spend a good deal of time waiting for things to happen. I enjoyed the fact that the opening took you right into things and we got a glimpse of "something walking in the woods". I secretly wanted to see more of it. I personally feel there are sections that linger a bit much, and some of the performances near the end fell just a tad flat, but that's just me. The camping scenes felt very real to me and when stuff started to unfold, I felt in the moment the most. All in all it was a fun watch with some very creepy and original moments!

Full of contradictory dialog and actions while severely lacking in any interesting actions or events. The event being investigated takes place on the edge of private property, bordering a busy public road just before sunset every day. So the investigator waits 3 weeks (21 sunsets not investigated) to secure permission from the property owners to spend one entire night (long after the event already happened somewhere off camera), deep in the woods (far from the "ghost walker"). WTH? After that stupid setup it doesn't get any better. The "wait for it moment" is the ending. I mean for the entire thing to be over. I give it 1 star above the bottom because he didn't have a wildly swinging camera POV like most mockumentaries. So you will not get motion sickness while being bored.

The fact that the figure stopped moving and was visibly standing still when it reached the end of its walk. It's particularly visible when he shows the clip that he "ran through " some unnamed software.

When you see the wood's interior, it's really easy to see why the figure was able to move so fluidly. Those woods are very open.

The tent pitching scene is fairly entertaining, being in fast forward.

It's a little, "Blair Witchy", only on a lower budget.

There's even an actor in the credits for the, "figure walking".

It looked fake and I'm calling it as listed incorrectly as, "Documentary".

I mentioned a couple of things in the movie, but I wouldn't call them spoilers.

Bit boring for me.
