Into the Woods
25 December 2005
Final Terror? There is no terror in this boring, inane slug of a film about randy forestry guys and their friendly girls traversing to the unknown wilds of the American wilderness. Yeah right! Along for the ride are a host of talented, up-and coming actors and actresses such as Rachel Ward(just lovely), Darryl Hannah, Joe Pantoliano, and Adrian Zmed. Unfortunately for them - and the viewers - this film takes them virtually nowhere. The story is really hard to describe because there is little to describe: some wild wilderness freak(possibly one of the men that drove them into the woods) starts killing the forestry guys and dolls. Okay, I think that explains the plot fairly fully. Really, you can fill in what gaps there may be because nothing exciting, inventive, or interesting happens. I was bored from start to finish. Now, some of the acting is competent. The direction is not horrible just uneventful. The woods looks like ...woods. So there is an authentic, cheap feel to the film that does aid what little suspense the film is able to create. Is there any real terror? No way, unless you count the expression on my face when the film ended and I realized that was 82 minutes I would never see again.
