Not just a French Slasher...

Nice French Horror effort. I don't think this is just a French Slasher flick. The movie has a simple plot, as many American Slashers from the 80's but the truth is that the plot is very well developed and even has scenes that you don't expect and twist ending.

The characters are filled with clichés but not as dumb as in many American Slashers. I'd say that most of the characters are likable. The "villians" are also pretty good. The acting is good overall but this movie asks for little talent.

The gore is very good actually. I was impressed by some gruesome death scenes and excellent make-up gore. The direction is clever and fast paced. The movie is visually stunning because it has some really great shinny settings and some dark, macabre settings. Nice job.

"Deep In The Woods" starts slow but then gains strenght and ends pretty good. This is not a typical Slasher because there is more plot and character development than you expect. There are some creepy scenes and that's enough for making a good Horror movie. Give it a try, it's not a French Slasher that rips-off American Slashers.
