Personne ne dort dans les bois ce soir

Good start, characters, and dialogue but I couldn't stop yelling at the IDIOTIC decisions that kept happening after things got going. So, decent movie but another horror movie that depends on constant stupidity instead of semi-intelligent people stuck in a bad situation. If that's something that doesn't bother you, I do recommend this movie though. It's just hard for me to get past.

Just watching a random YouTube video tonight about "5 Most Not Talked about Good Horror movies" and this was #1. The second he mentioned this movie I never heard of before, I stopped the YouTube video and went straight to Netflix to watch this. I AM SO GLAD I did. This In-the-wood slasher is every-bit the quintessential slasher from the 80s without bothering to do another homage every few scenes. Enough with the homages! Just glad they just made another clone but with great effects, fantastic characters, plenty of gore and kills and mostly shot in daylight, which is ballsy and wonderful simultaneously. Not 100% perfect - the exposition got a little too easy, like they didn't have faith the audience could put the pieces together and the reason behind the killer was...well, meh. Still, HIGHLY recommended.

Final thoughts: "Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight"? Well, to be fair, I did see main character Zosia sleeping in her tent. The others, no evidence.

This movie revolves around a little group of youngsters who have to camp in the woods to overcome their childhood trauma's and electronic devices addiction. This adventure goes sour very fast when they encounter the local monsters. The monsters are very well made, the costumes and prostheses are very convincing and very funny. For a country that has no worthwhile movie industry whatsoever this is a very good accomplishment.

Under the layer of an archetypical slasher movies there's a strong political statement that some people fail to recognize. The story of two twin brothers is a clear link to "The Two Who Stole The Moon" and that's just a start. Among thrills, chills, blood and boobs almost every dialogue scene criticizes the nowadays Poland; the lack of tollerance, the pathologies within the catholic Church etc. But at the end of the day it's a well crafted, well acted, fun film.

It's Polish, and I tried watching it in German, with subs, and the original language as well, but turned to English eventually.

It resembled a lot of familiar horror movies, like f.i. Wrong Turn, as mentioned.

But it's not bad. It does have it's gory moments, and I liked it.

It's not great, but also not bad.
