Title: The woods are scary, dark, and deep...
Review: The forest primeval, peopled with ogres--a timeless tale updated with half-bared bosom 'n' belly babes (no maidens in distress they) and a stick-shifting hero who takes to the ax like any woodsman of yore! This suspense flick has brains--and not just the ones smashed on the floorboards. Refreshingly bereft of the buffoonery that has become de rigueur in recent creepers, this is a heart-thumping horrorfest delivered with deliberate and deadly seriousness. The cinematography is particularly striking, drawing the audience into a dark woodland made both magnificent and menacing. The pacing is prompt and neat, and screen time is not wasted on needless characterization and chatter. The terror comes quickly, and only the credits' roll allows an easy breath!
