Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Holland, Variety

    A decent cast and ok production values get completely lost in The Backwoods, an atmosphere-rich psychological thriller in which psychology and thrills are missing.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...the film's terrifically promising first act slowly-but-surely gives way to an atmosphere of tedium and superfluousness...

  • Brian Holcomb, Beyond Hollywood

    Lots of questions are left unanswered, like a movie you fell asleep watching on late night TV and were never able to find again.

  • Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com

    Straw Puppies.

  • Anton Bitel, Eye for Film

    rock-solid performances and an atmosphere of moody menace never fail to grip, even if the film traverses territories that are just a little overfamiliar.

    Of course Gary Oldman is amazing, but does it really fascinate you to watch him clip his fingernails, shave, and watch t.v. with a convincing accent?

    Gary Oldman AND Paddy Considine! Need I say more? Well actually they saved this tired storyline along with great cinematography. Watch it for free online.
