"You don't look much like the camping type."

It was almost there.
It's like The Blair Witch Project if you remove the found footage aspect and replace the witch with vampires. It has an interesting premise, but the script kept getting in the way. First, it showed its cards too early, so the twist wasn't surprising at all. And the one person who knows what is going on doesn't interject at all. The main character suffers from leukemia, and I thought that could have been used interestingly, and it does, but it's part of the early exposed twist.
I also had issues with buying Mike Beckingham and Tatjana Inez Nardone as a loving couple. Individually, they were fine, but the…

As it is now officially 'Frightfest Week' I am trying to watch as many Frightfest films I have previously missed due to clashing with other films. REDWOOD was one that seemed to arrive at Frightfest with a bit of a buzz, playing in one of the Discovery screens (smaller screens that are still including in your weekend FrightFest pass but is often a free for all for tickets) it was soon one of the first to sell out.

After watching REDWOOD, I am not sad I missed it the first time around, there is a fun film here but not a consistent or particularly entertaining one. It has clunky dialogue, an awkwardness and a clinginess of inspirations never allowing it…

There was some real potential here for this 'Blair Witch Project' meets 'The Descent' with a dash of 'Thirty Days of Night' thrown in for good measure. But sadly it just wasn't realised thanks to its far too lean a run time, a lack of interest in the underlying mythos and a leading pair that just never convinced.

Josh (Mike Beckingham, Simon Pegg's brother no less) has just received a leaukemia diagnosis. So he and his girlfriend Beth (Tatjana Nardone) take off for a weekend camping to try and clear their heads and start to try and find whats really important to them in life. After a strange run in with a park ranger who warns them to stick to…

This film really could have been something great, the idea is very good,. But the film manages to be a film that is lacking in genuine terror and an underdeveloped story with no good performances. Redwood had a very interesting idea, but it didn’t explore it to the fullest and it was just a horror film that was an awful mess. I really wanted to like the film, but this one just didn’t offer anything. The film looks cheap, is poorly acted and directed and is a waste of time. The film could easily have been great, but unfortunately, the film never became anything worthwhile. The problem with the film is that it has a good idea, but the direction…
