oswalded I haven't achieved much in my life. I've lived "under the radar" and haven't taken many risks. But I have seen "Back Woods" *TWICE* . The effort it took to pop that DVD in a second time can only be described as Herculean. I learned a lot about my limits during that film. I don't know who will ever read this review, but rest assured that you and I (having never met one another) could go outside with the money we have in our pockets right now and film a better movie in less time than it would take you to watch "Back Woods". "Back Woods" was so bad that any description of how that "movie" (if we can define it as such) was "made" (if that indeed is how it came into being) would involve more description of the plot than is actually presented in the "film". Here's a taste : a fat man slathered with ketchup erupting from a latex cervix and a psychedelic deer/man/ghost with confusing sexuality haunt a forest and mess with some kids. It's like some buddies got drunk on Keystone Light and tried to film a horror movie before the buzz wore off, then some girl took her top off (but amazingly her breasts could barely hold my attention any longer than her catatonic acting)and some guy tucked his junk backwards. Fun night right? Except, the next day they woke up and actually tried to make it a real movie. Then gave up and tried to make it a comedy. Then gave it to a junkie to edit and he tried to make an art film out of it.There's moments in the film like when one of the actors(?) puts on a mustache and affects an accent and suddenly is playing the father of another character and you realize that was supposed to be a flashback or during the fifteen grainy minutes of tree shots so loving that i would not hesitate to describe it as "forest porn" that you realize :they didn't intend this. Despite the joking and the gore and the breasts...they thought this would actually be a real movie. And it is for this reason that "Back Woods" fails so completely. All the ego and naivety mixed together and created a cinematic black hole. Don't watch it. Ever.Oh yeah SPOILER ALERT they play the entire movie backwards at the end so i guess maybe i saw it four times.

glance302 If you are looking for something Oscar worthy, the tree you're looking for is not in the Back Woods. Some reviews have completely ripped this movie four or five new A-holes; while others praise it beyond reason. If you take this movie for what it is; it is an amateur attempt at a horror comedy. There were parts that had me laughing out loud, while other parts made me cringe. It is goofy and disturbing throughout the film. Some scenes could have used better editing, especially in the beginning. But all in all, it was a pretty good job for a handful of kids with a camcorder.By the way, I have no association with this movie. I accidentally discovered it off Amazon, and I don't regret the purchase.

spades-1999 First off for such a low budget they did a unbelievable job. I have never laughed harder in my life. My friends and I started to watch it and during the long intro were saying "oh god is the whole movie gonna be like this" (refering to the negative scene) but after that it pick up and completely ignored any and all boundaries. Several times I wondered to myself "are they really gonna do that" and they did.Anyone who bashes this movie probably didn't even get past the first 5 minutes and if they did watch more than that and still bash it they need to stop and think about what the makers were really going for.... Were they really trying to make the end all ultimate serial killer movie?.?.... No! What they made was one damn funny movie.I thank everyone involved in this movie cause it reminded my how great it was to make movies with your friends and i hope the stuff i come up with is half as good as this movie was

Edith69 David Hayes (oops forgot the C) David C. Hayes might be the micro budget answer to Dom Deluise and Chris Farley , all wrapped up in one smelly package. I got lost in his forest like back hair watching this enjoyable abortion of a film. Keep it up Dave, you scare Hollywood!!
