Woodland

I found this movie fascinating in that it creates and sustains an effective trance like effect. I think that comes mostly from the visuals and music score considering very little happens and there's very little plot or dialog.

If that was the intent, it succeeds quite well.

Intensely boring.The film falls into a pattern of following one man's daily routine, and so we get him doing the same things over and over again. Here he is, walking through the woods, talking about trees. Here he is fishing with his boss, the only other character to mention. Here he is not experiencing paranormal events or anything horrifying.

It's well filmed. The cast is okay, although they don't really have anything to work with. The old man gets a couple of moments to act towards the end. There aren't a lot of effects, but those they use are fine. There just isn't anything going on. Boring cyclical activities, and very occasionally something mildly creepy happens.

The horror elements are limited. There's a girl in make-up, there's a big CGI shadow of something we don't get to see, and there's a mild air of fatalism that pervades the entire movie.

I'll avoid spoilers, but I'll tell you that the movie really goes nowhere. The plot doesn't develop, there's no tension, and there's no climax.

I don't understand why the rating is so low for this movie. Filmed at a very beautiful place. The story is interesting enough to make it watch till the end. The ending is there with a nice twist. Your time will not be wasted.

Kind of boring and a bit amateur . Had potential but way too slow and clunky. Way too many drone shots of trees. The acting wasnt bad but the story was like a high school drama attempt. The bear scenes were near comical, special effects childish . Altogether a waste of time am afraid !

I liked the photography. Basically nothing new under the sun, or trees. A dude with substance abuse takes on a watchman job with a camera. He begins to soulsearch..yawn..and sees his failed future. Not sure about anything "thriller" in here but it could've been a short film instead. I agree the acting was wasted by the lead, but, hey, meloncoly is always a hoot , right! Not sure exactly the point, the message or the underlying theme here, other than a drunk or druggie should never be secluded in the wilderness with their thoughts or conscience.
