kinda looked like an interesting triller from the box, but after 15 mins realised something was missing.
there's a lot of 'homage' (ripoff) throughout. very Argento like for the intro (the best bit),like a budget version of Suspiria, features the trademark doll, strong colours and stylised killings, but there's something about this film that just doesn't make the viewer wanna watch...
maybe it was just way to arty? frequently unintentionally misleading, it cuts all over the place, and then suddenly someone springs out for a 'slow' scare. the bathroom death scene was frustrating to watch- burnt out lighting on the screen for a minute...whats going on? oh someones dead...
the end = yawnnn.
my girlfriend found it eerie, but I really don't see why. no tension or suspense at all. why the 18 cert? ONLY cos of the sex and nudity...
I really like french films and was disappointed, but if you've seen a lot of horror you'll expect to see more than 'whats in the woods', cos it ain't much...
