Stranger in the Woods

Low budget attempt at a horror/ slasher drama.

Firstly, I am not going too hard on a movie that clearly has a small budget and made independently. That being said, this is poor by any standard.

The direction, the editing, the sound design, the acting, the script, the plot and cinematography is all poor. I can only imagine what someone like Sam Raimi would have done with something like this.

This is Holly Kenney's first stab at doing a screenplay and it shows. It doesn't help that she has decided to play the lead character herself.

There are strange scenes all over the place. The dog, who is the best actor in the film, disappears and reappears for little or no reason.

EVERYTHING WRONG, EVERYTHING

I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.

The worst acting possible, the worst script possible.

But the end is THE WORST THING, probably the worst ending in a horror movie EVER. It's so stupid that it makes this movie a comedy. I don't know what to say anymore. The only thing terrifying about this movie is that it made me think that being blind is not as bad as I thought it was. Who thought that this is good? Who was the idiot that said, "10/10 would recommend it"? Who can possibly watch this and say this is good? Just never do things like this ever again, please, and thank everyone that gave this thing a 1/10 review.

Yes, this picture is just that...pretty standard fare. If you have seen more than say five or six movies, you have certainly seen all these twists and turns before. I knew exactly what was going on at about twenty minutes in. Don't get me wrong, it was filmed well. The cast acted it out pretty decent. The scenery was solid. But there was absolutely nothing new here...nothing. I will say that I was glad to see that the dog wasn't hurt. LOL I gave this one a six. Like I already said, what is there was done pretty decently, but there just isn't a single thing here that can be even thought of as new. But if you don't have anything else to do, this will pass the time. As always, Thank You and ENJOY!!!

What did I just suffer for 82 flipping minutes, bad dialogue, dry character development, worst performance by actors. I did not enjoyed this film not one bit because it's very dry, cinematography was lackluster, script was poop and very stupid, jack off to screen monitors is actually hilarious. None of the actors did not have the best dialogue and they did not tried hard enough. Here's why? 1. Character name Olivia was such a bad character growth depth, her husband Cole was upset because Olivia said no and Cole killed himself, that was actually hilarious and ridiculous that I was laughing my butt for this type of film. Olivia lost her dog in the next day and it's a montage of looking for a dog which is actually stupid instead they found a dead fox in a bear trap which that sounds accurate but at least one of the characters ½ brother is a good amish looking person which he is the funniest part of the film which I do appreciated the enjoyment of a 2 out of 10 instead of like uggghhhh best horror film of this year. Let me explain you something there, OUT of DARKNESS is the best film of this year so far 10/10 and no one tops the hat off to you, Double Blind is a 9/10 this was a excellent movie 10% of it was nit picky, Lovely, Dark and Deep is a 6/10 because it looks like a perfect example of Yellowstone National Park as an Horror Film. This film called Stranger In the Woods is a stupid movie name, with a mediocre storyline and a very poor script as well as production value. Next time be more scarier like Sister Death or When Evil Lurks those 2 rocks!! In conclusion very stupid and pretty bad acting and screenplay all around. The storyline made little sense (if the cops were called twice why did it take them so long to show up?) and the writing was bland, boring, and lacking. Overall not worth your time, hard to call this a thriller. This maybe the funniest film of 2024 and.

This recipe feels really old: Traumatic event, friends trip to a cheap cabin in the woods. Main character is annoying right from the start. It's absurd someone would get involved to go on a trip with such character and binge drinking based on the initial premise. I literally couldn't wait for it to end. I watched it because MAX was recommending it constantly. Horrible acting, cheap repeated premise and slow in everything it does. No plot twists.. no nothing. Goofy characters, same-old tired premise no effort whatsoever. Refrain from wasting your time on this and go rewatch whatever's available on any of your streaming services.
