Between the Trees

About This Movie

So, 'Between the Trees' is this curious little horror flick from 2017 that dives into the whole lost-in-the-woods trope. You’ve got this group of tourists, and they’re not just any tourists – they’re the clumsy, overzealous kind, which adds a certain charm or perhaps a cringe factor to their predicament. The atmosphere really nails that eerie, isolated feeling, accentuated by some solid practical effects that make the cannibal breed genuinely unsettling. Pacing is a bit shaky at times, but there’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, if not a bit over-the-top. What stands out is how it mixes horror with these awkward, sometimes humorous moments, making it feel distinctive in a sea of similar films. It’s a unique blend, for sure.
