Horror in the Forest

Have you seen Blair Witch Project? This is the knock off version of that, and everything that gives found footage a bad name. It adds absolutely nothing creative, has bad acting, and shaky cam all over the place. So bad you barely see anything.

The opening scene was creepy, and neat. But that is the highlight of the entire film, and it only goes down hill from there. They don't even try and give back story to the witch, or how she might have got there.

Just she makes people go missing in the woods. Like they try and frame it as a documentary. They could have pretended to do research into the legend more. But all round the film is dull.

Weird how there are over 15 10 star reviews for this movie when it has this rating. Almost like those could have purchased? Just a theory.

Boring Blair witch rip off. I knew it was bad in first 5 minutes. Mother and daughter hike into deep woods and don't start setting up camp until dark. I would have loved to see them drag thar giant, non collapsible, patio chair all the way out there. I guess it was just there?

Set up fire, and then start setting up tent. No firelight brightening the tent building, but I guess the moon was out, full, and about 100,000 miles closer to earth than it should have been to produce that light. Still better than day for night I suppose.

Then, the daughter starts screaming that she saw something, and the mother bursts into the tent and whines that it's 3am and the was sleeping. Why was she not sleeping in the tent?

Finally, they used a round template to make it look like the entire Forrest wasn't lut by their foray of lights. They thought that would make it look like it was just a single flashlight? It looked awful, it was kind of nauseating, and they did it for a good portion of the movie.

I don't even want to continue talking about this further. It's just making me angry. Why do such a direct Blair witch rip off in 2023?

I don't understand why they haven't been sued by the writers of The Blair Witch Project. Its like The Blair Witch but....auful. Also is very poor visually. They are all spotlessly clean...while camping in the apparent deep dark wood, while being tormented by crazy locals and a witch. It looks like a studio or well maintained play park, I feel the illusions of deep forest was never there to begin with. No depth to storyline or characters. I feel like many of the reviews here are likely by family/friends of the cast and crew as the stars awarded and reviews given are a far cry away from the true waste of time that is this film.

Kudos to DBS Films! They did a great job building suspense and I really enjoyed Nelson's character! The whole time I was watching I couldn't help but wonder "so what's the truth?" There's something about that forest that turns people crazy.. perhaps it's the unimaginable grief that they experience (because I started to truly believed that they were as unhinged as the character..) Great acting and screenwriting overall. I think the storyline or script could have used more drama or world building to really draw in the audience and captivate us with the array of unsolved abductions. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this indie horror film.

DBS Films is an Indie Film Production Company that gets everyone involved with whole movie making process. Making Movies for the Fans with the Fans. In the latest, (Horror in the Forest Film). Get the feel of 1999 Found Footage Movie,As you go down the rabbit hole with Nelson as he continues his search for his missing daughter. And who or what is in the Woods. Don't let the children go into the woods you never know what's lurking. Grab your flashlight and a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the latest film from DBS Films. You'll never feel the same about Camping in the Woods ever again. Gotta LOVE the Intro Girl.
