In the Forest

I am always annoyed at the argument that a low budget movie can not be judged by the standards as big money productions. I strongly disagree with that. The inconsistencies throughout the movie and lack of acting talent where appalling and have nothing to do with the budget. Absolutely not worthwhile to give it a shot. I regret having spent the time on it.

I don't mind a low budget movie about a family going camping in the woods and meeting with a bad guy who tells them to get off their land.

However, the actions taken by the various people (especially the mother) are so illogical and silly that the movie just becomes totally irritating. Awful script and bad acting.

I went into this with an open mind, knowing it was going to be an "innocent-camper meets dangerous-backwoods-nutjob" kind of movie--and it was--however, the plot moved along quickly, keeping my interest throughout, and I must give recognition that I never knew exactly who the bad guys were until the end. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a suspenseful, fun movie that will have you yelling at the characters for their cliché horror movie mistakes and reminding yourself why it's important to always camp in official RV campgrounds.

I am always curious about the high reviews some of these *horrible* movies get. I often feel like maybe they watched a different movie with a similar title and got confused. And then I think that, perhaps, they were involved in the production of the movie. Or a family member of someone in the movie. There really aren't any more reasons that make sense to me. Particularly in this case.

This middle school film project starts off dumb and goes down hill quickly.

The first thing that makes zero sense is grampa's choice of camping locations. It's simply idiotic to think you can just drive out in the country and pick a spot on someone else's property.

Then, the RV get stuck on flat, solid ground.

The story isn't horrible, honestly, but the production is just garbage with some of the worst acting I've seen recently and I just watched Zombeavers last night.

I admit, I hit the fast forward button several to many times to skip through some of the horrible dialog but I believe I caught most of the salient plot points.

The movie direction is very stupid and done illogically. The movie is has such a good story but lack of logic and bad screenplay made the movie unwatchable.
