In the Forest

If you can find acting worse than this, then it's being done on purpose. Bad acting, bad script, un-endearing characters, bad story.

Family gets their RV stuck in a two-inch hole on dry, solid ground (for real), then Gramps gets a near-lethal wound from a flying nail.

Stupid woman then panics and runs through a forest...

Oh, forget it.

Where do you begin with such a movie as this? The story, screenplay, plot - whatever you call it doesn't make it any better, the so-called acting was in most cases peurile. I always wonder HOW any of these people make a living! Plot - totally nonsensical and it was played as if neither the director, writer or producer had made up their own minds if it was a black comedy or drama or what genre it actually fitted into. It certainly wasn't TERROR or HORROR. Was there ANYTHING that the character Emily wasn't afraid of? Didn't like blood, descending into the basement, guns. Just the type of person you want to stake your life on in a life-threatening situation and every time a situation cropped up that she didn't like she went and found herself a cupboard to hide in.

This is one that needs to be given a wide berth.

I don't mind a low budget movie about a family going camping in the woods and meeting with a bad guy who tells them to get off their land.

However, the actions taken by the various people (especially the mother) are so illogical and silly that the movie just becomes totally irritating. Awful script and bad acting.

I am always annoyed at the argument that a low budget movie can not be judged by the standards as big money productions. I strongly disagree with that. The inconsistencies throughout the movie and lack of acting talent where appalling and have nothing to do with the budget. Absolutely not worthwhile to give it a shot. I regret having spent the time on it.

I am always curious about the high reviews some of these *horrible* movies get. I often feel like maybe they watched a different movie with a similar title and got confused. And then I think that, perhaps, they were involved in the production of the movie. Or a family member of someone in the movie. There really aren't any more reasons that make sense to me. Particularly in this case.

This middle school film project starts off dumb and goes down hill quickly.

The first thing that makes zero sense is grampa's choice of camping locations. It's simply idiotic to think you can just drive out in the country and pick a spot on someone else's property.

Then, the RV get stuck on flat, solid ground.

The story isn't horrible, honestly, but the production is just garbage with some of the worst acting I've seen recently and I just watched Zombeavers last night.

I admit, I hit the fast forward button several to many times to skip through some of the horrible dialog but I believe I caught most of the salient plot points.
