Review of Don't Go in the Woods (2012) by Sandra P — 21 Jun 2012
Vincent D'Onofrio clearly has some very interesting ideas about fame, madness, and how sometimes these 2 things go hand in hand. Unfortunately, he is unable to successfully translate these ideas into film.
Don't Go In The Woods lacks any substance or meaning, and is insipid and boring. It's an admirable first try by D'Onofrio but in the hands of a more capable director maybe this could have been a better film.
.MAYBE As is, Don't Go In The Woods is a completely terrible and unreedemable film. The music is ear-bleedingly bad, the lyrics are terrible, the script is terrible, the acting is BAD, the characters are those guys who you'd find at a party playing a guitar to songs they created themselves (they're the type who imagine themselves to be artistic even though they aren't) and there is barely any horror element here.
Not to mention the whole film is shot in ONE location and one location only, some nondescript woods. I have great respect for D'Onofrio as an actor, but he's yet to prove his skill as a director.
