The type of film DARIO ARGENTO SHOULD be making, April 9 2004
This review is from: Deep in the Woods (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I've seen mostly negative reviews here about this film, I really don't think americans get it. So bombarded with "scary action horror comedies" like THE MUMMY or the new DAWN OF THE DEAD, the modern American perception of horror is a "non-threatening boo" with no substance. Another great example of modern american "horror" is 13 Ghosts which was ruined by a jive talking, step'n'fetchit maid. That said, this movie is different. It's very artistic and truly gothic in a surreal Argento way. Of course it had slow spots and faults, but for a first time director, low budget and in France?! I loved it and was shocked by sequences and respected it AND was inspired by it. That's so much more than I've gotten from films over here for the last 25 years.

Deep In The Woods...Foreign Woods..., Aug 4 2003
This review is from: Deep in the Woods (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
"Deep In The Woods" is an outstanding foreign film. Released here in the U.S. it has not fared that well. Many think of it as a bad version of "The Blair Witch Project", it is far from it. "The Blair Witch Project" was shot like a home video wanting to be a movie, this film is a movie. Though the dubbing is not that great, the actors and story make up for it. The story's focus is on the little red riding hood fairy tale, and a bunch of grisly murders. As the characters drop one by one everyone is a suspect. Vincent Lecoeur "Fredrick" is great in his role. Watch this movie for great scenes, and acting. You will not be disappointed, for this is a great thriller.
