The Woodsman

Hi. I'm a frequent watcher of Found Footage/Mockumentary films and enjoy the genre.

Let's be honest, many folks go with found footage to fill in for what you're missing - actors, script, location. It's to have a built in 'out'.

I was pleasantly surprised with this film. The lead actor mainly carries it. He's very charismatic, and a welcome change from running around the woods shouting someone's name. He's not going for an Oscar here, but he's got some acting chops. When everything starts to go wrong, you feel for him. This is something that's often missing in Found Footage films.

The script, while nothing special, keeps it simple and that's a smart move. There's an edge to it that I also quite enjoyed. The scares are short, sharp and brutal.

In short, if you're a FF fan, or if you want to pass the time for 90 minutes this is worth a watch.

So.... Wow where to begin.... I'm Mr. Internet "woodsman survivalist" I'm going to go roughing it for 2 days and nights with a crap ton of hair gel. I'm also afraid to cross a steam 2.5 feet wide. All the while not keeping my narcissistic, angry, unknowledgeable personality in check.

Found Footage. Good lead actor. Bad script. Terrible setting. (Obviously not Belize) Blair Witch, thank you for this. Just one guy talking, the whole time. Not worth your time. 2/10.

I have watched a lot of these type of movies, mostly documentaries and this has been the best by far I think the "Animal" that was being depicted as Big Foot- others documentaries say Big Foot is known to throw rocks, break down trees and has a very foul odor. I respect Mauro Ripke for showing his fear and emotions.

If you need to fall asleep quickly, watch this flick!!
