Deep In The Woods 2001 Horror Movie Review

Promenons: Nous Dans les Bois (Lionel Delplanque, 2000)


Amusing, but ultimately forgettable, slasher from first-time director Delplanque. A troupe of actors is hired to play Little Red Riding Hood for a young boy’s birthday by the boy’s millionaire grandfather, but not long after they finish, the police drop by to inform everyone there’s a murderer in the area. The decision is made that it would be safest for everyone to stay right where they are, which is, of course, the wrong one, and the actors die one by one. As the troupe gets smaller, the survivors must figure out who the killer is before there are none of them left to play the Big Bad Wolf. There is some style to the direction, and some competent acting, but if you’ve seen a handful of random slasher movies, you won’t find anything here to surprise you, including the Big Reveal. Not bad for killing some time when you’ve nothing else to watch, but not really worth going out of your way. **
