Lost Woods

This hyper low budget movie I found on the Kings of Horror channel on Youtube and that rarely bodes well. I'm not saying the average Kings of Horror movie is bad I'm.....wait, yes I am.

This tells the story of a group of friends who venture into the forest to camp and come across something unpleasant. Pretty standard stuff.

Truth be told though I found myself oddly gripped. The opening was fantastic (Amateurish but fantastic) it looked great, the song choice was good and I actually found myself having expectations!

Sadly it didn't maintain the same level of quality, it had it's moments don't get me wrong but it started looking shoddy fairly early on. To it's credit the movies monster looks fairly good, but I'm not convinced it needed the glowy eyes which really looked out of place.

The story was generic but passable, though parts did feel rushed.

Sadly the ending was pretty poor, maybe I didn't "Get it" but to me it seemed stupid and totally unnecessary.

Good effort despite the current 2.3 rating on IMDB. I see what they were going for, it just missed the mark.

The Good:

Fantastic opening credits

Decent soundtrack

Yeti actually looks quite good

Great opening monologue

The Bad:

Some of the acting is atrocious

Not sure about the glowy eyes

Predator rip off scene

The ending is confusing and dumb

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When returning a body back to their home the next day, bury them for the night

Right next to big barrels labelled "Highly explosive" is a great place to use fireworks
