The Backwoods (2006)
6/10
Creepy, Tense, Atmospheric
28 January 2009
This movie reminded me of Deliverance. Most obvious reasons being that the woodsy-setting and crazy locals contributed to that, but there's also a majorly creepy/uncomfortable factor to the whole tone of it.

For example, the little girl screamed and cried a few too many times for my taste, as it was starting to get very annoying. But at the same time it made me more tense... so in a way that succeeded in creating a viewing atmosphere where I was on edge the whole time.

Some of the camera work/directing/shots looked great, esp. the chase scenes through the woods.

I'm not sure if I can say that I exactly enjoyed watching this movie, as I tend to like movies with at least a bit of humor in them, but I did think it was effective as a scary movie.
