Dark Woods II Trailers

An old sanatorium is deteriorating in an isolated forest in the mountains. Five contract workers have taken on the task of tracking the huge building for hazardous waste before it's demolished. They realize that the job is more than a search for asbestos and mercury when they encounter the building's frightening past. You can demolish a building, but never remove the past.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie takes quite a while to get going and when it finally wraps up, you're left with more questions than answers. It's about a team of people who go into an old asylum building to assess it for hazardous materials. Or something. A sort of librarian goes with them to grab any records that might be worth keeping. They end up being the worst hide and seek players ever in a cat and mouse game between them and an unknown adversary. The kinds of decisions most of these characters make throughout the course of the movie will leave you with little sympathy for them. I found myself hoping they would die - especially the team leader. I did find it scary, creepy, and suspenseful, and I thought it was well shot and performed. I would have liked more of an explanation for what was happening and why, but if the intention was for us to be just as in the dark as the people in the movie, I sort of get it. But I didn't like it. I've seen other reviewers saying that this ripped off Session 9, and I can see why they said that, but I wasn't thinking of Session 9 while watching this. Session 9 was definitely better, though. See that instead.

There is a lot this film has going for it; it looks great, the setting is really creepy and it uses some good techniques to makes some of the situations the characters go through legitimately terrifying.This is also where it falls down however as while the situations are clever and put you in the place of the character to where you wonder what you would do, you never really care about the characters themselves. We know next to nothing about them and they don't really stand out, so while we can replace ourselves with them in these scary situations, you could also replace them with any other character and it wouldn't make a difference. What's more it never really feels like there is much at stake, also it starts off by being really precise about what the people are there to do and how much time they have to do it in and then most of this is forgotten.Overall this film could have been really good with a little more depth to the writing and a little more time spent getting to know the characters, but it is still worth a watch for the situations and setting alone.

Nothing to do with Villmark 1 !! They barely managed to make a small and quite insignificant connection to it, but that's all, just so they can take advantage of the name and get some attention.If you read the plot, you'll realize you know the movie, you've seen it before, many times and this right here brings nothing new. It's a horror movie in an old building, apparently abandoned but not quite, where people start to get missing or even...dead!And this is all. From head to toes, nothing more than what so many other similar productions brought on screen so many times before. Can't believe I was excited to see this. Anyway, the movie itself, as a stand alone is still a weak production in my opinion. I will not recommend it.Cheers!

The scenery in movie is very good. Old sanitarium in the middle of woods, just wilderness around. They could do very good movie but characters in this movie are dumb & stupid. I know director gave them such roles, but they made really stupid and suicidal decisions, so you don't care for them, you don't really care for selfish, low IQ idiot without back story and those actors are doing exactly decisions than any sane person would call idiotic, stupid, selfish.. So in all this stupidity you don't care much when someone get killed, I almost felt relief when some character was executed. Almost. So if director do such movie that you almost not care for main characters then its director's sanity to be questioned ;) All in all movie is watchable, and actors did well, even if characters they played had really confused, idiotic scripts, so you can not blame actors really, but with such wasted plot movie lost at least 50% its potential...If villains in movies are strong and movie characters did intelligent decisions yet some of them got killed then you feel really sorry, but if they are dumb...not really ! I cannot help but to feel angry on those characters cause none of them really tried to organize and connect the group, I am sure they could fight villains much more effectively with much less dead if they stayed together, but in whole movie literally all of them just keep running behind some ideas in mind and their teammates simply don't exists when they chase their ideas. .Also I hated the end, I like horror movies, but I don't like depressed movies, and end was just..cannot help but think that director of movie might be some depressed guy, with alcohol and relationships issues, I just got that feeling after watching. Why there don't exist "depressed" for genre, if exists action, thriller, comedy, horror, adventure, drama - so there should be also something like "depressed" genre, at least for this movie. 5/10
