The Woods

(Lucky McKee, 2006)

Beware of anyone who tries to plug this film by saying that it stars Bruce Campbell in the male lead. What they are neglecting to tell you is that The Woods is set almost entirely within a girls’ school, and the only male roles other than Campbell’s are those of ‘Sheriff’ and ‘Doctor’. (Campbell’s character is on screen for slightly longer than either of these two, and therefore wins the title of ‘male lead’ on a technicality).
There are some positive things to be said about the film: The effects are quite slick; there’s a nice twist on the typical US high school queen-bitch character; and Campbell initiates a few brief moments of splatstick near the end. But the gore is too little too late; the exposition of the plot is garbled; and the whole thing is about as scary as Harry Potter.
