| 12.31.25 | Internet | Capping off 2025 is this horror movie that's been on my HD since 2018. A group of British buds go hiking in Sweden and make the terrible decision to leave the path and hike through the woods. I thought this was really good. The woods are spooky, don't go in the woods, spooky shit lives in the woods. These are some particularly spooky woods as well (imdb says they are Romanian woods instead of Swedish) and shot very well. Good sound design, great creature design, and solid performances make this stand out. Just what the doctor ordered if he ordered a solid horror movie set in the woods. I hesitate to say more about the story but there's some nice stuff in here, particularly the third act. The first two are kinda on autopilot but still executed well. The dudes make a series of terrible choices in order for there to be a movie but the last act elevates it in my opinion. |
