The Stairs

The stairs in woods concept is so good because of the many ways you can spin it and build a mysterious atmosphere around it. This movie capitalizes on none of it. It's your stereotypical people being hunted in the forest movie, complete with stiff dialogue and cheesy writing. This one's just got a pretty set of stairs on screen for about two minutes of total screentime. In fact it's so unimaginative that they had to add a door to it.

Save yourself the time of this one, even if you're a fan of the NoSleep stories.

While this film has an interesting premise, and a good marketing and licensing budget...

WHO thought the color grading was ready for release?

On an HDR UHD television this is completely washed out! If they had reduced the brightness and kept the contrast they would have a more visually interesting film! I don't understand the obsession some filmmakers have with either increased frame rates or washed out bright colors or both! I want movies to look like professionally produced movies on film, not cheap television video! Not cheaply produced daytime soaps!

This film had potential but it was totally washed out colorwise!

For an example of a digital low-budget film with REAL professional brightness, contrast, and creative cinematography, check out "Gaia" (2021).

Low budget or not, want to look like a real movie? Color grade your film to match Gaia, or go home!

Seriously!

Two 70s stars lead the cast of this tax write off, but are only on the screen for five minutes. The rest is a predictable gore fest with a couple of fun jump scares.

I have seen better, but I have seen worse. And at least it wasn't two hours of CGI.

This movie was all over the place. The monster was quite comical though. Throwback to decades ago. Terrible acting, choppy plot. Didn't know if it was horror, sci-fi, supernatural or what. Save your money please.

They should have just stuck with a standard "monster chases people around in woods" story. It would have been worlds better. But no, they had to introduce huge plot lines about supernatural and sci-fi phenomena that were never resolved and had no explanation! There were not even hints or leads: they would just have something really supernatural happen, and then you never heard about it again and there was never an explanation! That is a dirty thing to do to your viewers. Terrible. Save your time and watch something else.
