Let this stay in the woods...
29 August 2023
Well, if you have problems falling asleep, here is the remedy.

I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "She Came from the Woods" here in 2023, after having stumbled upon the movie by sheer luck. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it. But given my fascination with the horror genre, of course I had to check the movie out.

And I managed to endure a staggering 60 minutes out of the 101 minute runtime, before I tossed the towel in the ring out of sheer and utter boredom. The storyline in the movie, as written by Erik Bloomquist and Carson Bloomquist, was incredibly bland and rather pointless. And there was actually nothing entertaining about the movie. Yet, I managed to endure one hour, hoping that the movie would pick up and get into gear.

But that never happened. And believe me when I say that this movie is definitely not one I will ever return to attempt to finish watching. I simply didn't enjoy the storyline, and there was no appeal to the incredibly bland character gallery.

"She Came from the Woods" sort of felt and looked like a horror comedy, but it wasn't, and that just made the ordeal even more insufferable to sit through. Because you are unsure whether director Erik Bloomquist was trying to be funny with certain scenes on the screen, or whether it was just cringeworthy and toe-curling awkward to sit through.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, except for actor William Sadler. And I am sure that they were talented actors and actresses, but they virtually had nothing to work with from writers Erik Bloomquist and Carson Bloomquist.

If you enjoy horror movies, then do yourself a favor and give this movie a wide berth.

My rating of "She Came from the Woods" lands on a two out of ten stars, based on the production value alone.
