Something in the Woods

About This Movie

So, 'Something in the Woods' is this indie horror flick from 2022 that really leans into the tension of isolation. You’ve got this reporter who’s not exactly a hero - he’s exposed some serious corruption and now finds himself in the worst possible situation, kidnapped by the Senator's daughter. The pacing is deliberate, giving you that creeping feeling as they venture deeper into the woods. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the practical effects, though modest, create some spine-chilling moments that stick with you. Acting is solid, especially from the daughter who navigates her complex motivations well. There’s something lurking out there, and it’s not just the family drama - it’s all about how fear can manifest in unexpected ways.

Interesting take on family drama and horror.Great use of practical effects for its budget.Pacing builds a suffocating sense of dread.
