A bunch of campers, lovemakers, skate bunnies, artists, cops, and sightseers are brutally murdered by a
To say Don't Go in the Woods is episodic would be the understatement of the century. There's not a realistic dialogue exchange or a character arc to be found in these treacherous woods. Acting and writing are the kind of amateurish where you really convince yourself that these people have been kept in an attic for their entire lives without human contact and have never had a normal interaction with another human being. There's no other explanation for how bizarre this movie is. Everything is so disjointed like it was made up on the spot or like these were all a bunch of different short films that were edited together to make a feature. That said, it's one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen in my life and I think I'll probably watch it 500 more times before I die.

Three women find themselves stalked by a deranged killer after they stop by to help out their recently widowed friend whose husband might have been murdered by the strict religious cult he recently escaped from.
Not one of Wes Craven's best, but even here you can see he has a flair for dramatic set pieces, building suspense, strong female characters, and well timed jump scares. In spite of a bizarre and somewhat convoluted script, Craven makes the most of it and delivers a few memorable moments such as the scene where Sharon Stone is trapped in a barn with a poisonous spider and a deranged killer and another where someone slips a snake into a woman's bubble bath.

A bunch of hicks beat up and kill a childlike man named Bubba for allegedly abusing a little girl and his spirit comes back to haunt them for killing the wrong man.
Dark Night of the Scarecrow is one of those rare TV movies that could have easily worked just as well on the big screen. It's beautifully shot with all those bright blues and greens popping all over the place and Charles Durning's sleazy performance is one of the best in his career. There's a playful amount of nuance and ambiguity that's sprinkled throughout and you're never quite sure if Bubba has come back or if it's someone else entirely. No gore, but it's high on atmosphere.
