Woods of Evil

how many ways can one say 'garbage'? Woods Of Evil is so bad it's almost required watching for film students on how not to make a movie.

The story is just too dumb, the acting non-existent, the gore really fake, and the camera-work barely registering.

I will give credit for one thing. When we're first itnroduced to the main guy, he's seeing his probation officer, a MILF-ish Italian woman who should have been in the movie more. She was pretty hot.

But the wigger kid needed to be re-cast and the locations were hardly 'rural', as you could see houses off in the distance. It looked like they kept using the same little wooded area for every outdoor scene.

I also thought it was funny how the slasher was this slow-moving fat guy with a knife but these young slim people couldn't outrun him, or the geniuses they were, just shoot him. So much for being thugs. Next time, stay home, city-boy!

This film is garbage at all. There is no doubt. I haven't understood why it is called "woods of evil". Actually there is no relation between woods and people who were killed by obscure evildoer. The main characters are strained and unnatural. They don't make you believe them. Only one thing is interesting it's the manner of photography. The picture looks like a documentary or home video and it adds some realistic to the movie, but few number of decorations turns all into the first dilettante experience in cinematography. If the actors played a little better any sense would appear to watch this film. It's kind of funny when smb was injured there was a feeling that the '911' service would come in a moment))

This film essentially begins with a young man named "Calvin" (Sheldon Miles Woodley) and his girlfriend driving on a secluded road somewhere in New York and then, seeing no other facilities in sight, deciding to stop to relieve himself in the woods. It's the last thing he ever does. So, when he doesn't return after several minutes, his girlfriend then ventures into that same spot and is also brutally murdered. The scene then shifts to some low-level thugs deciding to kidnap a young woman named "Charisse" (Nicholl Jones) who is the daughter of a rich businessman there in New York. In the process of doing that, they also kidnap her friend "Sonia" (Raine Brown) who happens to have an exceedingly rich father as well. Naturally, needing a hide out until the ransom is received, the kidnappers take their two hostages to a secluded cabin in the same woods where Calvin and his girlfriend were killed--and the psychopathic killer lurking in this area is more than willing to add all of these new visitors to his growing list of victims. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say this was one of those low-budget productions that would have probably been better if it had been built upon a more financially secure foundation. As it was, however, there were a number of flaws that were quite noticeable--with the most glaring weakness being the special effect which were practically non-existent. Likewise, the action scenes could have used significant improvement as well. Having said that, while I certainly don't consider this to be the worst low-budget horror film ever made, the faults just mentioned were simply too obvious to be ignored and, for that reason, I have rated this movie accordingly. Below average.
