A Maldição da Floresta

A solid contender for a spot in the top 10 worst movies I've ever seen - and I watch a lot of low-budget indie productions, particularly in the horror genre.

Combining the worst of a Blair Witch vibe with wooden acting and an utterly banal script and characters so paper-thin it's surprising they can stand, "All Girls Weekend" makes The Human Centipede look like it deserves an Oscar in comparison.

I saw in another review, this movie allegedly had a $1million budget - I find that hard to believe. I don't know, but if it's true it was a staggering waste of money and I can't fathom what they even spent it on.

The set is a small section of woods outdoors, save a couple of brief shots right at the start in a hotel room and a room in an abandoned building later on. The lighting, effects and production quality are all at a level you'd expect from a shoestring budget amateur production.

The plot is threadbare and what little is there doesn't make sense. Without putting in any spoilers (not that you could "spoil" this awful movie for anyone) - at one point there's a bit where there's a shot of a bear that is possibly stock footage, seeing as you don't see it in a shot with any of the cast.

Please don't waste your time with this. It was horrific, but not horror. I don't know what else to say.

This movie has very little to it, there are just some women in some woods walking around and sometimes talking, then sometimes there are some creepy whispers. That is actually it.

Sometimes you have so little budget that you have to cut corners, but this film takes it way too far. You can do so much more, just have good characters and interesting dialogue. Instead this is just a boring slog that does very little to entertain you.

Overall I wouldn't bother with this one, there is nearly nothing going on and it's not even like the film tries to sell itself with skin or gore as both are sparse here too. No good.

Assuming you've read the other reviews on this page, I'm skipping all the diatribe about that the budget was supposedly $1,000,000. Yes, for that amount of money this should have been much better. However, as a low budget, bare-bones horror film, it really wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I have certainly seen worse films with better reviews. The story is simple, yet ambitious, and if it fails to live up to that ambition, well...better luck next time.

The editing was iffy, the acting spotty (sometimes decent, sometimes bad), but the location is visually appealing and little things made it somewhat enjoyable to watch, if only once. I won't use spoilers, but the progression of the second-to-main character is actually fairly subtle and interesting. If you watch the beginning and the end you'll see what I mean.

In sum, is this a great film? No. Is it the worst possible film ever made? No. I found it on YouTube and the comments there are much more forgiving, perhaps because they didn't read these reviews first.

Low budget, all girl slasher. The plot is already laid out in the beginning so no confusing story-line to follow. No flashbacks just right to the point. The actresses in the movie do a pretty convincing role. There really isn't any chemistry between them but they all seem to have some good acting skills. Direction was decent, there are few scenes that were really enjoyable to watch. No shaky camera, no extreme closeups, I would give the director a thumbs up for sure. Reminds me of a low budget 80's slasher film. Most people reviewing these low budget horror movies must not have been fans of the genre. People have to realize what they are watching and if its not in the class of movies they enjoy, just don't watch it and post a 1 star rating. I have actually never rated any movie in my life a 1 star. I have seen way better movies, and I have seen way worse, but it defiantly deserves at 3.5 to 4 stars solid. What I really liked about this movie and deserves more than 2 stars is the use of practical effects. Practical effects add more of a realism to the movie and of course looks way better. Too many times have I watched a modern horror movie with digital blood and I just down right sucks and looks so bad. So props for practical effects and I hope more directors and special effects people move far away from digital effects for horror movies. Overall a good movie for someone that enjoys low budget 80's style slasher films. 4 stars for me!

Slow. Ass-pulled storyline. Tedious. Annoying. Gets three stars because for a while, it was "what will happen next?" Then, I stopped caring what would happen next, because I didn't like any of the characters. Also the villain was some supernatural force, which did things; but had no discernable manifestation. So, anything could happen, and still fit into this anything-goes storyline. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.
