In the Forest

Where do you begin with such a movie as this? The story, screenplay, plot - whatever you call it doesn't make it any better, the so-called acting was in most cases peurile. I always wonder HOW any of these people make a living! Plot - totally nonsensical and it was played as if neither the director, writer or producer had made up their own minds if it was a black comedy or drama or what genre it actually fitted into. It certainly wasn't TERROR or HORROR. Was there ANYTHING that the character Emily wasn't afraid of? Didn't like blood, descending into the basement, guns. Just the type of person you want to stake your life on in a life-threatening situation and every time a situation cropped up that she didn't like she went and found herself a cupboard to hide in.

This is one that needs to be given a wide berth.

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.

Obviously this film is not going to be a 10/10, but I can say for myself that it did at least keep my attention the whole time. The story is interesting, acting is subpar at best. The film however leaves many questions unanswered and definitely feels like they should've added at least another 5-10 minutes showing the aftermath of everything that occurred.

To round it up..This movie isn't the worst thing to have on and to give a chance at least. I believe its a solid 4/10.

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.
