Pretty Good

Expected more

Boring

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is, quite possibly, the worst movie I have ever seen. I watched it to the end which was nothing short of excruciating. I wanted to make sure I didn't actually miss anything - good. I didn't. Not a single scene had ONE redeeming quality. The acting, by everyone involved, was terrible. I don't mind a slow burn of a movie, hand held camera work, etc. But this movie is painfully boring, pointless, aimless and ridiculous. I saw some people comparing it to "The Blair Witch Project." but let's be fair. That movie was creepy and good and unique (for its time). Comparing "Spirit in the Woods" to it is like comparing a perfect apple to a rotten orange. Skip it.

I think the acting was meant to represent real college students, not actors. If you watch it as if it were real, you'd see it in a different light.The actors looked like real people, not models...that was a plus. It also didn't contain a lot of CGI "stuff" that other people try to use to scare you. The only problem I had with it was it wasn't creepy enough though it did keep you guessing about when and where the bad guy/girl would jump out.Was the acting stellar? No but it wasn't nearly as bad as advertised. I watched "The Apparition" with Ashley Green (Alice from Twilight) and she was absolute TRASH in it...you EXPECT stellar acting from her, not these guys.I'm not claiming it's great but it's not bad...decent for such a low budget and worth a look if you like found footage films.

Right from the trailer, I knew I was being subjected to garbage. This movie is complete bilge. I have seen YouTube videos made by teenagers and college students that were less amateur than this movie. The acting is terrible, it looks like it was edited on iMovie by an 8 year old and it looks like it was shot on a freaking cellphone camera. I'd be less than surprised if Anthony Daniel just pocketed the money, got a few people who were willing to work for free, shot it on an iPhone and edited it half-assedly on Windows Movie Maker, because the funding I know for a fact that he secured should have at least paid for a good camera and good editing software if he was using it right. That amber alert poster looks like it was made on Paint. The improv is so unnatural that it makes me want to set myself on fire. The pacing is god awful. Nothing happens until the very freaking end and even still, I don't know what in god's name I'm looking at.There's really not much else to say. The movie is garbage and that's all there is to it.

This was, by far, the absolutely most boring movie I've ever seen. ***SPOILERS***What's more, nothing was explained. There was some quickly thrown- together exposition at the end that tries to give some reasons for why things might have happened, but in general...none of it made sense.I don't understand why the little girl was included at the very end of the credits. She's listed as "Spirit" in the cast list here. Does that mean she was the ghost of the woods? Did she die there? Was she saying it was all someone's dream? I....I don't understand.I'm also tired of found-footage movies claiming that "everything is so totally real!" No. No it's not. Stop telling lies, and just get on with the story. My suspense alarm, unfortunately, kept going off, expecting jump scares or something...ANYTHING....but they never happened. In fact...I don't know what the ending was. Something about an old man? And the white girl suddenly becomes possessed I guess..? Leaving out details doesn't make your movie more spooky, film student writers. It just leaves you with a badly-written script. :/Low-budget doesn't have to mean "bad movie". Keep that in mind as well..
