I had not heard about the 2022 horror movie "Something in the Woods" from writer Deanna Gomez and director Alexander T. Hwang prior to sitting down to watch it, as I had stumbled upon the movie by random luck. And I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, so that also applied to "Something in the Woods", though the rather low rating of the movie was causing some alarm bells to go off at the back of my mind.
And sometimes you just got to stop and listen to those alarm bells. Yeah, "Something in the Woods" was definitely not a good movie, and the low rating is a clear indicator of exactly that. The storyline was so very generic, mundane, flat and uneventful that it was quite a struggle to sit through the movie.
The character gallery in the movie was flaccid as well, and I have to say that I didn't care an ounce about any of the characters as they were one-dimensional and brought nothing of any interesting flavors to the movie. A shame really, because the acting performances by the small cast ensemble wasn't all that bad.
For a horror movie, then "Something in the Woods" was a swing and a miss. Unless, of course, you consider a storyline of nothing happening as being scary, then you're in for quite a treat.
My rating of "Something in the Woods" lands on a two out of ten stars. If you are a horror aficionado, like myself, then do yourself a favor and don't waste your time, money or effort on this one.
