Sem Conexão

It's Polish, and I tried watching it in German, with subs, and the original language as well, but turned to English eventually.

It resembled a lot of familiar horror movies, like f.i. Wrong Turn, as mentioned.

But it's not bad. It does have it's gory moments, and I liked it.

It's not great, but also not bad.

Good start, characters, and dialogue but I couldn't stop yelling at the IDIOTIC decisions that kept happening after things got going. So, decent movie but another horror movie that depends on constant stupidity instead of semi-intelligent people stuck in a bad situation. If that's something that doesn't bother you, I do recommend this movie though. It's just hard for me to get past.

Thanks to Netflix I've gotten to watch several Polish films, admittedly all horrors, and of the ones I've seen, I've enjoyed them all. Nobody Sleeps in the woods (to be lazy, and use the translation,) is really rather good.

It's true, there isn't really any new material here, but what is done, is done well. Very much a Polish Wrong Turn, with a bit of Cabin in The Woods mixed in. It takes a bizarre twist, when we learn how things came to be, and there are enough shocking moments.

A few times we hear points about how it is for people in Poland, being gay etc. It seems that the writer and producer wanted to make a few points.

Clichés apart, rather good. 7/10.

For them who like that , but there are stories within the story that strains out in nothingness, like where or what happened to the rest of the camp kids filling up a bus in the start of the film...

well its a typical rural polish horror drama with archtypes of the polish wood farmer and friends, that lives in close connection to the wilderness, and unfortunate hits from an abroadcoming asteroid, and what frights may come out of addiction to digital media etc.

the plot could have been a gold mine of opportunities, you just get small portions of gutsy action here and there, the acting are quite good, and as always in horror slasher movies sticks to the 6 golden rules-what they are youll learn if watching..

productionwise its a colourenhanced and pretty strong filmproduct, that may entertain many, but keep it away from the minors, because the swordblades have two sides, and it usually cuts things apart, so glory gory halleluwah to you all with a recommend from his jubilleing review nr 1000 by the grumpy old man

Just watching a random YouTube video tonight about "5 Most Not Talked about Good Horror movies" and this was #1. The second he mentioned this movie I never heard of before, I stopped the YouTube video and went straight to Netflix to watch this. I AM SO GLAD I did. This In-the-wood slasher is every-bit the quintessential slasher from the 80s without bothering to do another homage every few scenes. Enough with the homages! Just glad they just made another clone but with great effects, fantastic characters, plenty of gore and kills and mostly shot in daylight, which is ballsy and wonderful simultaneously. Not 100% perfect - the exposition got a little too easy, like they didn't have faith the audience could put the pieces together and the reason behind the killer was...well, meh. Still, HIGHLY recommended.

Final thoughts: "Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight"? Well, to be fair, I did see main character Zosia sleeping in her tent. The others, no evidence.
