She Came from the Woods is a bloody, twist-filled horror gem. Set at a cursed summer camp, it delivers a smart plot with unexpected turns and satisfying gore. The story blends family secrets with supernatural terror, keeping you guessing-and cringing. The practical effects are brutal in the best way, and the villain's laugh? Pure nightmare fuel. It's creepy, fun, and surprisingly clever. If you like your horror soaked in blood with a side of psychological tension, this one's worth watching. A twisted throwback done right, with just the right mix of heart, horror, and havoc. A lot of running, screaming, and evil kids, too.
When the history of movie theaters in the 2020's is written, there will be some odd entries. Last year's Terrifier 2 and now She Came from the Woods seem like direct-to-streaming movies that somehow played theaters in towns with modest populations (20,000-30,000).
She Came from the Woods is certainly more enjoyable than the gross-out Terrifier 2, but it is not as fun as horror fans might hope. This is a retro-80's summer camp horror story that plays like a cross between Friday the 13th and The Evil Dead.
Some have pointed to the campfire story feel that some 1980's slasher films have, Madman being the most obvious. Therefore, it seems somehow appropriate that the screenwriters, Erik and Carson Bloomquist, credit their film's story as being based on stories told around campfires. However, that is also a problem. Around a campfire a story does not need much logic, but a film needs more of a cohesive story. She Came from the Woods just seems to have stopped with Friday the 13th meets The Evil Dead. There is not much else to it. The film does not even have an interesting backstory for its sometimes supernatural villainess Agatha. The killers in The Burning (a film namechecked in She Came from the Woods) and the original Friday the 13th had more reasons for committing murder than Agatha here.
Perhaps a bigger problem is that the film is not as fun as it should be. I laughed twice and grooved on the negative character with the blonde mullet who looked eerily like a schoolmate from high school (the character even acted a little like the real guy). Aside from those bits, I was not overly entertained. I liked the use of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" over the opening credits, but wished the song had been used more memorably (like "Jessi's Girl" in Boogie Nights or "99 Luftballons" in Grosse Pointe Blank). The disbelieving policeman was kind of fun. I don't begrudge the matinee price I paid to watch She Came from the Woods, but I wouldn't watch it again.
For better 1980's horror nostalgia, I would recommend Deathgasm (2015), Lake Nowhere (2014), or You're Next (2011). She Came from the Woods did not bring enough to the party.

She Came from the Woods is trite and vapid, seemingly unaware of what makes the movies it purports to pay tribute to work. It doesn't provide any of the thrills, surprises, or guilty pleasures that make slashers tick. It feels like a sterilized notion of the sub genre as opposed to something that finds a path of its own or carries any real weight or knowledge about the half-century of films it lazily emulates.
The production is competent but entirely uninspired, with everything from the sets to the costumes to the cinematography being perfectly plain. The revelations and escalations hit hollow and most of the would-be horrific moments are marred by the inherent lameness of kids in camp clothes. It sometimes seems like She Came from the Woods could have been a home movie shot in someone's back yard.

6/10. Not a classic, but enjoyable and worth your time.
This showed up on Tubi as a "Tubi Original," so I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this flick. It's certainly not a classic, but it is competent, suspenseful, and engaging, and I found myself glued to it in spite of myself. The special effects are well done, and with one exception, the acting is on point. This is supposedly a horror comedy, but thankfully it's mostly horror with some jokes here and there. Unlike others, I didn't find the tone uneven.
Soundtrack was also great.
In short, you could do worse--A LOT worse--thank SHE CAME FROM THE WOODS. I recommend it to fans of the genre.
1-3 Don't waste your time 4-6 Good 7-9 Great 10 Outstanding, must see.

A nice homage to the 80's Friday the 13th type of films. Unfortunately, if there are too many holes in your boat it will sink, as this film did.
I never heard of it until it played 1x only last night so I figured I'd give it a look. It started out fine with the stereotypical horny camp counselors, children (dorks, geeks, etc.) and 'adults in charge'. Then, of course, something awakens the evil spirit and folks get to dying. There is a twist in the beginning in how people start dying so I won't ruin it for you.
In act 2 there are no surprises but this is when you start noticing the holes. 'How did this person get over there?' or 'Why didn't you tell your fellow survivors what you just witnessed?'
In the final act it was almost like the scriptwriters just didn't care. They skipped over all logic, failed to explain how the rules/laws governed this spirit worked and just gave the audience an unsatisfactory ending.
