The Woods Are Real

About This Movie

So, 'The Woods Are Real' really digs into that weird intersection of wealth and morality. Joba and Quincy, this affluent couple from Brooklyn, are not your typical horror leads. Their journey starts off like a charity gala but quickly spirals into something darker when a friend from abroad invites them to explore a more primal version of charity. The tone is tense, with an atmospheric dread that builds steadily. Practical effects really stand out, creating an unsettling sense of realism amidst the fantastical elements. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the sense of unease to wash over you rather than hitting you all at once. Performances are solid, especially their friend, who brings a charming yet sinister energy. It's distinctly different from the usual horror fare, blending social commentary with eerie folklore.
