Another poor Bigfoot movie
malcolm-cooke18 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'll keep this short, This movie is terrible. The acting from Rebecca Davis is shocking. I was hoping the Bigfoot would find her quicker than he did and put me out of my misery. Some of the script " Did you not see what we saw last night" and " Did you not hear what we heard " are just too bad to comment. Seemingly hiding in a fabric tent while a 8 foot Bigfoot is attacking you is great protection as despite the Bigfoot be able to rip trees out of the ground he could not get into the tent. Anyway avoid this is pure trash.

Bigfoot Trail!
parry_na14 October 2022
2013 brought forth at least two found-footage films based on the Bigfoot legend. As you might imagine, 'The Woods' shares similarities with the enjoyable 'Willow Creek' - a young couple investigate the legendry Bigfoot mystery, get scared, argue a bit, and record it all for prosperity. Here, Mark & Rebecca (Mark Bacci and Rebecca Davies) intend to record a hoax video, because they don't believe Bigfoot is real. What do you suppose happens?

This is a straightforward found-footage horror; *very* Blair Witch. It does everything you would expect of such a production, and does it well - the locations are convincingly creepy and the acting conveys the increasing sense of fear well. If you like this kind of film - and I do - you'll probably like this. However, it won't convert anyone who feels that this style of film-making is spent.

If I have any problem with this, it's the false starts. By that, I mean that events reach a kind of crescendo, and then the next morning, we begin another new day with no real explanation of how the previous night's confrontations played out. Other than that - an enjoyable feature with some creepy moments. 7 out of 10.
