The Haunting of Hickcox Woods is a rather intriguing addition to the horror genre, though it operates in familiar territory. The film follows three friends who set out for a camping trip, only to encounter dark supernatural forces lurking in the woods. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, and there's a sense of foreboding that builds quite effectively. It plays with themes of friendship and betrayal, which adds depth to the otherwise straightforward plot. The practical effects are decent, lending a tangible dread that modern CGI often lacks. The performances are somewhat varied, but all contribute to that creeping sense of unease that keeps you guessing. Overall, it’s a solid exploration of folklore and fear with some interesting ideas about the past revisiting the present.
