Two firefighters decide to go on a weekend excursion to forget about their troubles for awhile and do some manly hunting, but that all changes when they stumble upon and subsequently dig up (the reasoning is pretty shoddy) a mysterious grave in the middle of the woods. After the trip his life turns upside down as body parts start popping up on his property as well as his wife leaving due to his drinking problem.Atrocious needless audio dubbing ruins an otherwise OK yeah it can't ruin it more than the writer or director already did. The script is awful, the lack of chemistry between the lead and the girl who plays with wife is woeful at best and the movie itself is so very slow. The film isn't that long but man do those minutes tick by so slowly.

On a weekend hunting trip two firefighters Alex Kerwood and Wayne Higley stumble onto a mysterious burial site.They dig it up and find the skull of an ancient horned creature.Big mistake!Suddenly the unleashed monster starts killing people in a small American town...OK,I'm a pretty tolerant guy when it comes to low-budget indie horror,but "In the Woods" is bad to the bone.The script is lifeless and dull,the suspense is non-existent and the action takes place in the woods for only 10 minutes or so.The DVD proudly claims "Creepier than 'The Blair Witch Project'".Yeah,right!Avoid this piece of cow dung like the plague unless you want to be bored beyond comprehension.

My God, where did they find these actors? Not one person in this flop could act. The two main characters (who happened to be firemen) were just plain silly. The dialog sounded as if it came direct from Sesame Street or something like that. The DVD box cover is really misleading, comparing this to The Blair Witch Project. Now that's a joke. Scenes here that were just thrown in, conversations about hamsters, just stupid. I sure do pity the Portage Fire Dept. for allowing their good name and equipment to be shown in this stinker. I hope these "actors" didn't give up their day job and they really should go back to whatever they were doing before they thought they could act.

This movie's plotting, pacing, dialog, action, and acting were so bizarrely strange, i don't know what to think. Any dialog snippet from any 5 minute segment has its own howlers. To with: "I'm gonna take leave of the fire station. And I can come help you at the pet store. and you can show me the difference between the gerbils and hamsters". Woah!The cop had the best line "I'll tell ya what we got- s**t is what we got". This could be a cult film. You just cannot watch this sober. You need as many friends along to cheer the action along. I thought the cinematography was decent, with the traveling shots. Production design was less than inspired. The dialog was so inept it hurt. The sound mixing was okay, though it felt like everything was ADR'd and foleyed. This film CANNOT be compared to Blair Witch. BWP was much better done, and was a completely different kind of movie. Very little of this film took place in the woods. Maybe 'In the Woods' was a reference to the style of acting (wooden). Something i noticed with the short running time is that certain shots and scenes held out a little longer than needed. I'm wondering if that was to pad out the run time. If so, it hurt the pacing of the film. See at your peril. You have been warned.
