Summary: The type of film DARIO ARGENTO SHOULD be making
Review: I've seen mostly negative reviews here about this film, I really don't think americans get it. So bombarded with "scary action horror comedies" like THE MUMMY or the new DAWN OF THE DEAD, the modern American perception of horror is a "non-threatening boo" with no substance. Another great example of modern american "horror" is 13 Ghosts which was ruined by a jive talking, step'n'fetchit maid.

That said, this movie is different. It's very artistic and truly gothic in a surreal Argento way. Of course it had slow spots and faults, but for a first time director, low budget and in France?! I loved it and was shocked by sequences and respected it AND was inspired by it. That's so much more than I've gotten from films over here for the last 25 years.

Summary: its ok
Review: Its about 5 young adults 3 females and 2 males and they were paid to go to a urban old house out in the middle of the woods to entertain a little kid on a act/play. Things start to get worse when there were rumors there was a rapest in the near area, and not to mention they were on the hit list. One by one the young adults gets killed. You will not believe who the killer is,, but then again... it sure did confuse me ..., This movie kinda lagged bad detail to information. its an ok movie... got some good scares but not so freaky. ALso it is dubbed in english, this movie was done by French actors. ...

Summary: I ENJOYED IT.
Review: NOW, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE I WATCHED IT DURING A STORM, BUT I ENJOYED THIS LITTLE HORROR GEM. TRUE, THE ENDING WAS A LITTLE EUROPEAN FOR MY TASTE, BUT THAT DOES NOT DISCOUNT THE FACT THAT THIS MOVIE IS SCARY. I MEAN, SCARY. THE VIOLENCE IS SO WELL DONE YOU ALMOST FEEL THE WOUNDS. IT IS NOT THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (GREAT), BUT IS NOT THE BLAIR WITCH 2 (HORRID) EITHER. IT IS A QUIRKY LITTLE MOVIE WORTH A LOOK SEE.

Summary: Deep in the Trashy Woods
Review: Ok, switching between scenes left my head aching, no "blend", BLAM your outside, BLAM your inside, HEY what's this a Lesbian scene? You get my drift. Anyway, dubbing was horrible, the little boy was brilliant, creepy, edgy, mysterious (I smell sequel, oh wait, I just stepped in something). Anyway, nothing to write home about, and WHY am I writing this?

Summary: Better than most American Slasher Flicks
Review: Personally I think this is the best slasher film for a while. It has a great atmosphere, goods performances and good direction. May I suggest watching this film with the subtitles and in French the way it was intended. Most people I guess just don't get it especially the French themselves. They absolutely slate the film. At least Brian Yuzna (an Absolute genius himself) like this film. Goes to show great minds think alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great gothic atmosphere
Review: Reminding me many times of Susperia due to the fairy tale atmosphere, this movie is a must-see if you love Argento. The movie has amazing camera work and although the gore isnt crazy, there is some to keep you satisfied. It has a lot of straight up eerie aspects that create a kind of dreamlike quality to the movie.

The english dubbing is a bit annoying at first but you get used to it. i would use subtitles but i only have the VHS.

This movie blows away all the recent american slasher flicks.

Summary: No European Blair Witch
Review: Stupid comparisons aside, this is your average, pretentious and artsy European offering (ie, when they are bad, they get *this* bad). With its Angela Carteresque overtones and its nods to everything from Dario Argento to the latest American teen flick (The Forsaken in Paris, maybe?), Deep in the Woods is to be avoided at all costs. If you want some French nouvelle cuisine on your list, try Besson or Gans instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Deep in the woods of seduction.
Review: Surpisingly good french movie, where everyone is not what he/she seems to be. This stylish sleeper is far superior to those teen-slasher flicks where everything is too obvious and there are too many explanations. Erotic, really intriguing and extremely ambiguous, "Deep in the woods" is a potential cult-movie from a 27-yrs-old director. In some ways, between Dario Argento and David De Coteau, with echoes from Mario Bava e Jean Rollin.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 1 star to many.
