Don't Go in the Woods

Don't Go in the Woods is sound advice, especially when there's a killer on the loose. First-time director Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, "Law & Order: Criminal Intent") explores love, greed and ruthlessness in this twisted musical/horror hybrid, telling the story of a young band who heads to the woods to get away from their everyday lives in order to focus on writing new songs. Hoping to walk away from the trip with new tunes that will score them their big break, they instead find themselves in the middle of a nightmare beyond comprehension.

Plot

Vincent D'Onoferio is a very talented actor, but as for script, story telling and directing he is sadly completely amiss with this project. The title indicates a horror or at least a suspense, but the first two reels are just country band music, although nice it does get a bit repetitive. Then when Vincent decides to get back to the premise he fails to rope in the story. It borders on ridiculous when the main band leader decides to do an impromptu song whilst his band members are getting slaughtered around him. A reminder that there is meant to be a maniac running loose in the woods. Yes, very authentic. Complete fail. The one mark out of ten is for some nice music, forget the rest.
