Something Walks in the Woods

The creepiness doesn't jump out, but slowly builds up to a satisfying ending in a well fleshed out folktale from the woods of North Carolina. Patient viewers will be rewarded, but it takes some time to get there. Don't expect many jump scares or gore. This isn't a slasher. The film is framed by realism, and even with it's paranormal plot, it remains realistic. This is low-budget, but it feels like a real documentary (we had to look up whether there was any truth to the lore). Overall great performance by writer/director/star Bill Howard. Given that it is a one-man show, he truly carries the film.

I'm still waiting...not really but I'll never get that time back. This was awful and I'm not that picky about my horror. I'm a big fan of found footage, this boring mess should have stayed lost.

I tend to believe so many movies have their rating pushed up by family, friends or their cousin who invested their life saving in dreck like this.

I was really hoping for some creepy supernatural scares but alas...I would recommend that no one anyone waste their time on this one...my three star rating was being extremely generous...it really, in my humble opinion, deserved far less.

Well back to searching for the next Good creepy horror.

Well, if you've seen it, congrats to you! You either enjoyed it or wondered who you need to talk to about getting that time back for watching it. I am on the fence, so I am not thrilled, but didn't hate it either. It won't watch it a second time, but I won't say I wasted my time because I found it interesting at first. My real gripe is that I was invested in the Figure in the beginning and it did delve further. I have another one at the end, but for the sake of spoiling it, I won't mention it. I'll say, there is some over-acting. The effects were meh, but get an A for effort.

Not much for substance and there are many better mockumentary films out there, but I have seen much much worse mockumentaries. 5/10 maybe C grade movie.

Full of contradictory dialog and actions while severely lacking in any interesting actions or events. The event being investigated takes place on the edge of private property, bordering a busy public road just before sunset every day. So the investigator waits 3 weeks (21 sunsets not investigated) to secure permission from the property owners to spend one entire night (long after the event already happened somewhere off camera), deep in the woods (far from the "ghost walker"). WTH? After that stupid setup it doesn't get any better. The "wait for it moment" is the ending. I mean for the entire thing to be over. I give it 1 star above the bottom because he didn't have a wildly swinging camera POV like most mockumentaries. So you will not get motion sickness while being bored.

I like the premise behind this film and the erieness that encompases it. It has a very raw vibe and so with that said you must prepare to spend a good deal of time waiting for things to happen. I enjoyed the fact that the opening took you right into things and we got a glimpse of "something walking in the woods". I secretly wanted to see more of it. I personally feel there are sections that linger a bit much, and some of the performances near the end fell just a tad flat, but that's just me. The camping scenes felt very real to me and when stuff started to unfold, I felt in the moment the most. All in all it was a fun watch with some very creepy and original moments!
