5/10
Not the Best Lifetime Thriller

Warning: Spoilers
I feel that 90's Lifetime movies are typically better than current ones. They usually have better actors, a more defined plot, and more depth. In the Deep Woods wasn't the best tv thriller, but I have seen worse.

In a nutshell, the movie is about trying to catch a serial killer, who targets women. The cops are struggling because of no evidence left behind at any crime scenes. Then there is a private investigator who suspects that Tommy is the killer. He begins creepily following Tommy's sister, Joanna and eventually tells her his theory. Well of course Joanna doesn't believe it. Tommy goes through some psychological tests and is cleared. Then evidence leads to Joanna's boyfriend. Eventually though, Joanna puts clues together and figures out who the real killer is.

I honestly knew who the killer was within the first 15 minutes. The guy said something that just didn't sit right with me. So even though they tried throwing people for a loop, the killer is pretty identifiable.

Oh and what got on my nerves more than anything is hearing Joanna scream. Probably ten minutes of screen time is just her screaming. It made my ears bleed. In the end, it's worth a watch if you like tv thrillers. Just lower the volume when Joanna is scared for her life.
