A Night In The Woods (2011) A NIGHT IN THE WOODS An impressive horror/psychological thriller hybrid that pushes all the right fright buttons from the award-winning director of acclaimed indie Brit-flick “South West 9”.http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...nightwoods.gif 'A FRESH TERRIFYING NEW FEAR LURKS IN THE WOODS' 4* Dean Boor, Shock Horror. Key talent: Directed by Richard Parry (South West 9), starring US indie star Scoot McNairy (Monsters; In Search Of A Midnight Kiss), promising Australian actress Anna Skellern (Siren; The Descent: Part 2) and rising British actor Andrew Hawley (Snow White And The Huntsman; Wuthering Heights), and featuring impressive camera work by cinematographer Simon Dennis (who recently completed shooting the forthcoming big-screen adaptation of “The Sweeney” for director Nick Love). Synopsis: On what is intended to be a fun camping trip to investigate and to chill in the atmosphere of the legendary haunted past of Dartmoor’s Wistman’s Woods, Brody, his girlfriend Kerry and her cousin Leo very soon find themselves mysteriously ill at ease both with their surroundings and their companions. Bad moods and minor disagreements rapidly lead to feelings of severe paranoia, sexual tension, fear and, eventually, violence between the three friends, a situation that worsens as the evening draws in. At first, they suspect the conflicts are simply the result of being thrown together in the ancient, eerie surroundings, but as night closes upon them each begins to wonder if darker forces are at work. We like it because: Director Richard Parry effectively takes the “Blair Witch Project” template and reinvents it for a new generation by injecting it with a distinctive British feel and by brilliantly employing the excellent camerawork of Simon Dennis to add a goosebump-raising visual style that puts the viewer right in the midst of the terror.

Duly noted. |
Oof! That's shockingly derivitive of Blair Witch, the trailer makes it look like blatant plagiarism! They even have the scene with the local old folk discussing the spooky local legend :doh: Would've been more interested if it wasn't a 'found footage', the production values look quite decent . . . |

I see you used a quote from Gorezone's Dean Boor. He's to reviewing what Alan Jones is to secrecy. |

I luv the Blair Witch Project! Admittedly, it's a one-watch film but it definitely got me terrified when I saw it. I watched it on DVD, alone in my room - I think that would've been much better than the cinema, personally, as seeing it in the cinema kind of goes against what made the film so believable and ultimately scary. |

As teens we always used to camp out in fields and woods so things that go rustle in the dark always work with me. |
Yeah I bought into the whole Blair Witch hype at the etime. Loved that faux documentary they made going into the backstory, and I still have a comic book that details the history! Superb film, and imo holds up on the small screen - great trio of performances, almost more a dramatic tragedy than horror . . . ! |
My hatred of BWP is legendary, so I'll keep off this thread.... :lol: |
I personally think BWP would have worked better for me if I'd actually caught a glimpse of something terrifying lurking in the woods, but you didn't. :rolleyes: |

ANITW is not a clone btw, it peaked my interest anyhow....some odd bits in there, will divide genre fans just like TBWP, so there's the similarity for a start haha.;) |

Okay, okay, so lots of people like it. But I'm not one of them. Like when they're freaking out because they no longer have the map. Er....look, idiots, you VIDEOTAPED the ****ing map and your camcorder has a playback screen. Rewind the tape and you'll see the map. D'oh! :lol: I dunno, I can suspend logic and disbelief so far....but these numpties were taking the piss with their repeatedly stupid actions. A snotty nosed teen crying does not a horror film make. ;) |
