In the Deep Woods

About This Movie

So, 'In the Deep Woods' from 1992, right? It's this low-key crime thriller that kind of creeps up on you. The atmosphere is thick, lots of shadows and offbeat characters, really sets the tone. Joanna's friend gets murdered, and she ends up tangled with this sketchy guy claiming to be a private investigator. The pacing is pretty deliberate, which adds to the unease, making every scene feel like it could tip into chaos at any moment. The practical effects are decent, especially for the time; they really contribute to the grim vibe. The performances are, well, a bit uneven, but there's something compelling about that. It’s not polished, but there’s this rawness that keeps you engaged, you know?

Great for fans of early 90s thrillers · Features an unsettling atmosphere · Interesting take on the serial killer trope
