Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
SnoopyStyle A couple camping in the woods is attacked by mountainmen. The girl is abducted to be a breeder. Later, Johnny Dash organizes a paint ball corporate retreat for his workers at a video game company. The store clerk directs the group to the same area in the woods where the couple was taken. Soon, their paint ball game turns deadly and the group is imprisoned in the underground bunker where the locals manufacture drugs.This is a standard low-grade horror. There is blood but not much gore. There is violence but not well done. The actors are mostly B-level as indicated by the presence of Haylie Duff. It's a functional cheap horror that has nothing new or special. It works but only barely. It is all relatively amateurish except for a few solid old-fashion burning and falling stunts.
crybaby-kopp I first discovered "Backwoods" when I was scanning through my TV late one night and saw it on a movie channel. I had never heard of it but read the info on my television guide and decided to give it a try. I am a sucker for a good scary film and I was not at all disappointed by "Backwoods". The scenes are excellently directed and acted, the action is bone-chilling, and the suspense of it all will leave you breathless. If your a fan of films like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Wrong Turn", "Hills Have Eyes" you will love "Backwoods." This film, which was a huge hit when it was released on TV. I just had to purchase this movie on Amazon and I encourage everyone else too! You'll love it
ladygaga8781 I don't want to give away anything about this movie. I'll just say that I love horror movies and have seen quite a few, but none of them disturbed me more than this movie. It wasn't exactly a "scary" movie exactly, but it was definitely a well made movie. I haven't seen the original, so maybe that made it a more positive experience for me.One reviewer gave the movie 1 star, for the same reason I gave the movie 5 stars. "This movie was so deranged and sadistic. It was awful! To think someone would even want to make something like this is awful. Now I remember why I don't watch 21st century horror movies because they keep getting worse and worse!" I agree recent horror movies have gotten worse, which is why I was so pleased with this movie, finally something that doesn't disappoint.
ifuseekkody I like horror films to make me jump or scream. This one did. Yes, it's the same basic premise we've seen many times in this type of movie, but the plot isn't really what I watch these movies for. Also, there's plenty of new twists/elements in this one. This movie really had me cheering for the "good guys" - I was glad I'd watched it by myself, as the last 20 minutes or so really had me screaming at the TV, cheering the kids on. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and am buying a copy to share with my horror loving friends. Backwoods was apparently produced for Spike TV, so don't expect to see much in the way of blood and gore. (Needless to say, there's no nudity whatsoever.) Some old-fashioned traps make the chase scenes through the forest somewhat interesting, but I pretty much relied on Haylie Duff's hotness to get me through the film's 80 minute runtime (although I must admit I got quite a kick out of watch a mortally wounded techie put on an amazing show of shooting bad guys without even aiming.) If you're a horror fan, Backwoods is certainly a watchable film, but you won't see anything here you haven't seen before.
