Um Estranho no Bosque

This movie is a low budget indie and I think it exceeded my expectations. Acting was decent, the cast was diverse.

Olivia's friends take her for a weekend getaway to the woods after she supposedly attempted suicide. Her friend/crush Sam's brother Clayton owns the cabin they rent and he lives in the adjacent one. Clayton is seemingly the "odd brother" in a Survival off the grid way.

Olivia's dog disappears and she soon suspects Clayton. The others try to let Olivia know she's being paranoid and kind of "crazy", especially after her suicide attempt. But Olivia insists she never tried to end her life and someone tried to murder her.

I'm not going to give away spoilers even if I think many fans of this genre could figure things out. My only real gripe is yet again in a horror/thriller, police are called yet never arrive. It's obvious at least an hour passes. But this isn't a problem unique to this film.

At an hour and 20 minutes I think this is an easy watch and it's actually quite on topic with a situation many women experience.

Decent indie, many females will relate.

After narrowly surviving a suicide attempt in her bath, Olivia, her friends and beloved dog head for a much needed break at a cabin in the woods, the tranquility is short lived, as a killer is keen to take the party down, one by one.

A rating of 3.6.....really, compared to some of the dross I've endured recently, this is much, much better, clearly made on a shoestring, but for me it held up pretty well.

It didn't try to be super clever, or go for two much, simple and straightforward, and that was the charm, very easy viewing, and at just over eighty minutes long, it didn't lull, pacing was actually pretty decent.

It was never going to hit the mainstream, but if you're a horror fan, and keen on the low budget horror flicks, I can definitely recommend it.

I thought writer Holly Kenney wrote quite an interesting story here, and I couldn't fault her acting performance either, good job all round.

6/10.

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.

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.

If you like to watch good horror movies from time to time...Stranger in the Woods noy for you. First of all it's not a horror or even slasher, it 100% predictible, bad written with weak lead role performance and finally just boring. If you wanna see good horror try "Thanksgiving" instead.

I just can't understand how this picture has a such many rewards..This movie dane everything that you already saw many times before but worse...much much worse. I don't regret my time so often, especially when it comes to horror movies, but this is the rare case when I want to say "Don't spend your time like I did" .
