Leave your thoughts about A Night in the Woods.
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe build-up (visiting Stonehenge and driving past Dartmoor prison) is quite intriguing, much more so than the things going bump in the night. |
| GuardianMike McCahillIt's unusual in using its 80-odd minutes to burrow down into these characters and match their psychic states with the (still underfilmed) location's physical terrain ... |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanWith skillful improv from the cast and some genuine frights, this is a worthy retread. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyThere's plenty of atmosphere, but both the leads and the location deserve better. |
| The ListRob CarnevaleThe inevitable ending offers nothing new on the Blair Witch template either which feels like scant reward for the effort required in reaching it. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertIts very Blair Witch-lite, serving up a thin smattering of urban legend with only a few scares towards the end. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanIt's testament to the non-scariness of A Night in the Woods that it makes you want to go out and buy a tent. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsA few mildly effective scares, but all so derivative. |
| User ReviewJoe AEven though there's not enough action until the final 40 minutes this film manages to deliver with a talented cast and an outstanding director who lacks from originality and offers a mediocre found-footage film with thrills to offer. |
| User ReviewNiklas SWatchable but nothing new to the "camcorder footage found" movies :( |
