I have followed the slender man case for years and like that they had the skeleton hoodie that Morgan always wore and the waterpark scene etc. Theres a lot of differences but similarities in it. I thought the girl who plays Emily kinda looks like Peyton. (God bless her) which is kinda eerie. Andd did anyone else kind of notice the music in the movie is like the theme from "the exorcist"? I thought they sound similar and creepy!!!

As soon you see it's a Lifetime movie your hopes for a good movie sink immediately. I guess this one was one of the better ones even though there is a lot of negative things about Terror In The Woods. First of all the title, with a title like that I expected some horror but that you won't get unless you're afraid of about everything. Then you had the acting, some were better than others but overall it wasn't great. The sound editing and cinematography could have been better, but that's apparently always the case with Lifetime movies. I don't know why, but after one minute into a movie you can already tell it's a tv movie, every time, over and over again. The positive thing this time was the story, it wasn't bad. Children and their wide imagination could lead to some awful things, in this movie it's well portrayed.

The actors were amazing in the film. The little girl who portrays Peytain was a little over the top but they were spot on the other two. I think the father with schizophrenia really made the movie that more interesting. Followed this case since the beginning. Very indifferent about how I feel about the crime and the sentencing. I think it would of been more interesting to put the sentencing and after sentencing....maybe horror in the woods part 2?

I loved this movie beautifuly done and great performances I definitely recommend this movie. This movie is so different then lifetimes other movies cause it was actually amazing. I wish it was a feature film. My hats are off to the little girls I don't know any other little girls who could have done that

The acting was decent. The story line is disturbing. Hard to watch. Definitely tells a lesson watch what your kids are doing on the internet!

This is a stupid movie and I wasted 2 hours of my life watching it. Where in the hell did the "actors" in this movie come from? The plot is stupid and the actors are all HORRIBLE. Lifetime has gone downhill and isn't even worth watching anymore, they show the dumbest shows ever, I'm surprised they haven't picked up teem mom or ridiculousness, these shows fit right in with what they have been showing lately.

Wife loves lifetime so of course i stumble upon this. as i reach for the remote to do the alarmist any channel but this one move, there is this creepy kid that catches your attention. then there is another weird kid. hmm odd for a lifetime movie i think. very quickly you get that weird vibe about the two of them and start watching.

I will admit. Once you figure out this is a slender man story you will watch just to see if somebody will actually die.... simple as that. I know the movie attempts to explore insanity and serious issues but sorry, all i really cared for is if lifetime will actually off a kid in this movie. Maybe they do, maybe they dont. But i will say that. The ending is worth staying for and the final scene is a bit depressing yet creepy. Almost like they are setting it up for a sequel.

The good:

• good acting, mostly.
• creepy and snappy characters. it has that gothic little miss sunshine type feel
• it's actually a semi halloween/horror movie
• near the end there is a scene during a speech that will make you question something about the whole movie. There is another hint about that same thing earlier too, now that i look back. i guess that's a good plot twist. I feel the director wanted to clear it up at the very end but the way it was done was actually open to interpretation. i usually write spoiler reviews but not this time.

The bad:

• lifetime movie. men are just about worthless here. all 2 of them.
• i find caithlins mother character a bit too forced. too wooden. cant tell if actress or just bad direction. i suppose they were going for the aloof overwhelmed type but she acts irrational in some key scenes. especially after you are told some of the backstory later on in the movie. you will see what i mean.

Frankly i really can't fault this too much. it's entertaining and makes you watch it. what more can you want from a low budget made for tv movie? 8/10

Wow, copy the Slenderman story but change the creatures name. Hollywood needs to try some new ideas and quit remaking crap.

Does anyone know what the song was that played during the last scene of the movie?

There is a song in this movie that no one can find. I wished it can be easily located when you search for it through the title. They definitely need to make it alot easier to find for the viewers! It's a really good song. I seen where alot of people wishing to find this song! & was unsuccessful of locating it!!

Absolutely amazing! Absolutely incredible performance, these girls did a amazing job!

So what? I revised the score twice, from 6 to 8. Don't be misled by the title. It's based on a true story. It is not a thriller. It is a believable real life story. And it is heart wrenching.

Very good movie I dvr recorded and Immediately watched and deleted due to having an impressionable 12yo nephew! But i do recommend it but not allow your children to watch.

And so what? I revised the score twice, from 6 to 8. It is not a horror movie. It is based on real life. Don't be misled by the title. And it has empathy.

Amazing performances! Three young ladies who did a terrific job carrying a show! Skylar Morgan Jones performed the stabbing scene so realistically I had a hard time watching

This movie was AMAZING! The actors they chose were amazing! I loved this movie so much! I would totally recommend watching! It is the best! I loved the girl who was playing "Rachel" her acting was AMAZING! I loved this movie so much and would definitely recommend to watch

This falls into the truth is stranger than fiction category. I have an excellent recollection of my interests/behavior and that of my friends at age 12. We didn't exist in some alternate reality. Our parents worked for a living and didn't spend the day at home zonked out on pills. Sports was at the top of our lists, along with an interest in girls. It's frightening enough that kids today are so off center. The really scary thing is the fact that society as a whole can't see that there's a staggering mental health issue, mostly in the United States. It's not just kids. I encounter adults who can't understand that the Internet contains a significant dose of fiction. This movie is technically a drama, but it seems like horror.

Obviously this movie is based on the real 2014 case involving a scary Internet character and 3 12 year old girls. I've followed not only the lore behind the real character, but the real case. This movie does a great job of illustrating this case and the people involved. Most all details are parallel and it's quite interesting to see how respectfully they did it. The quality of this movie of course isn't high budget, but it's good. Sophie Grace is a phenomenal actress for her age. She played the part perfectly. It was sickening almost. I highly recommend this movie.
