gridoon Review of Promenons-nous dans les bois

Promenons-nous dans les bois (2000)

Weird, slow, indifferently dubbed and ultimately ludicrous.

[5/10 · 14 December 2003]

The director of "Deep in the Woods" shows a strong sense of visual style (there is, for example, a point-of-view shot from inside a bag!), but it's all for naught. This movie is a real mess; people appear out of nowhere and disappear into nowhere, and the main characters are a little too dumb, even for typical horror-movie "heroes". Give this director a decent script, and we might actually be onto something. As a side note, the stage play these kids set up is terrible enough to turn anyone into a killer. (**)
