Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

shelliiaae I usually LOVE "a young couple in the woods" movies...but this just misses the mark over and over! A man and his dying wife go to a cabin where she can live out the rest of her life. The wife one night is assaulted by a stranger, and the local Sheriff doesn't much believe him, nothing comes of it. (At this point maybe it's time to go home...) now the next day the man goes for a run, sees the same man raping a young girl, scares he man off and takes the girl home (maybe now go home..?) at this point the man calls a doctor up who upon inspecting the girl says only, "she'll be fine"...WOW! Yeah, she was just raped but she will sleep it off!!! Also he lets the sheriff know and the sheriff has the young girl stay with him and his wife! (Is this even legal?) now I won't spoil the rest but you can guess where this might all lead, young pretty girl, dying wife, and a very horny husband...yep. The couple adopts her and they go to Wally World! I wish, that'd have been a good movie.

charlytully Henry (John Muscarnero) has a wife Susan (Tracy Coogan) who is terminally ill with some sort of cancer. By the end of DARK WOODS she dies. There's a popular expression in American, "we're not out of the woods yet." Henry's mind is muddled with all sorts of imaginary nonsense while his wife is dying. None of this would make any sense to the thinking viewer if taken LITERALLY, but apparently some people could not decipher director Michael Escobedo's subtlety. Mr. Escobedo tried to clue in the clueless right from the start, with a quotation from Dante's DIVINE COMEDY which makes it clear Henry's "dark woods" constitutes all the crap churned up in his id by his wife's impending demise. One must feel SORRY for viewers who somehow overlooked this quotation, and think any filmmaker would expect them to believe an American sheriff would place an abused teenage girl into the keeping of a young guy with a comatose wife to care for in a wilderness cabin for days on end. How many sheriffs could there be without an extra bedroom of their own (Henry's imagined cabin had just one bed)? Everyone else Henry talks to here is likely imaginary as well, except Susan. This obviously is not the most entertaining movie ever, but watching it should not be as hard as understanding an unsubtitled film in a language you don't speak!

bouhanamarc well i loved watching this movie i understand why people can hate it 3 actors and one sheriff a house a crazy man who rape the girls on the woods and that s it but the most irritating is the man who is married with a ill wife who can nearly die is completely incoherent he can go with the young girl that he save from the rapist man and now she live with them in a big house on the woods but he love his wife and he miss everything he could do for his principle well for me this man is stupid and in the end he is completely alone the end of the movie is really strange so if you like good drama and 3 or four character in a movie you will like it a lot but if you want some action movie this is not for

rwalton999 OMW! I must have watched the first third of a different movie from the first reviewer. One of the industry reviews described the film as 'Dark and moody'.... Well duh..that's because there must not have been any money in the budget for even half-decent lighting,yet,most shooting was indoors!!!!!Thank goodness the fireplace gave off some light. You know you are wasting your time watching this film,when the local cop shows up and gruffly shrugs off a witnessed home-invasion/sexual assault and doesn't even take notes or talk to the victim (who for some insane reason is observing from the staircase keeping quiet)and the victim's husband/witness simply shrugs his shoulders and accepts this??? You know that bit was a portent for even sillier unbelievable inaction.The rape victim/waif....made no sound as she was being humped,however,when the husband of victim #1,inexplicably walks away from the scene,where he has just seen the same dude (since identified by the indolent cop as the local harmless half-wit)committing another sexual assault,the waif suddenly starts screaming.......right on cue !!This movie was just awful and I didn't have to pay to see it but yet I still feel ripped-off.
