roadstar06 First of all, better sound editing would have improved certain scenes greatly. touches like proper ballroom music with reverb that matches the room ambiance is an easy one.Sound transitions from scene to scene will reduce the "jarring" effect for the viewer and give a natural feel instead of distracting from story.The weird wobbly camera angles in the beginning are just annoying. Just stop doing that. ugh.Delivery of the dialogue is relatively strong, but some of the actors need to beware of the "sing-song" delivery they fall into easily. The words are supposed to MEAN something to the character, that's doesn't happen when it's sounds like 12 year olds at the mall. Again, this was only occasional. The ladies in this were capable and did a fine job.quick tech flaw: The camera shots playfully taken at the creek needed to have the CAMERA LENS OPEN on the camera she's using.. lol. people notice those things, and a good continuity/production assistant would've'e been on top of that. ;)The above might seem harsh and nit-picky but can make a real difference in product.Watchable but not Big-Screen quality, good story concept, decent pacing, strong effort all around.

TdSmth5 In the intro some guy in the forest is suddenly shot. Then we meet four female friends among them a cop and a busy business lady who go on a hiking trip in the woods. Next we meet a group of rich arrogant people at some fancy induction ceremony were new members are introduced. We hear something about their professional backgrounds and their extracurricular activities which involve hunting.The trip is going fine for the ladies until some French-speaking guy with a gun shows up. The lady cop neutralizes him and handcuffs him to a tree. Suddenly a shot is fired from somewhere and the guy is hit in the head. Of course there's no cell phone reception anywhere. The girls separate into two groups of two. They don't know what is going until more bullets start flying in their direction and they start running into hunters. Hunters from the rich peoples club who are hunting them! Two of the girls run into a cop who takes them to a cabin. Later two hunters end up there as well and there's a surprise. The cop lady does her best to save herself and her friend as bullets and arrows start flying and they even have to face mines. Later we get another surprise as one of the girls starts taking matters into her own hands and goes after the hunters. The hunters, which include women, let competition take the best of them and they start beating each other up. The question is who will survive at the end.Skull Forrest is competently made very low budget horror movie. Everybody seems to be doing the best with little resources. Acting varies across the board from good to terrible. The movie looks fairly good and the events thankfully takes place almost entirely during the day. The director is resourceful and makes things look better than they are. Aside from the problems resulting of necessity there are problems of choice which are odd and a bit annoying. A lot, too much, is filmed with the camera at a 45 degree angle, so the image and the actors are diagonal on your screen. Movies often overdo the closeup of faces, and this one is no exception, but it goes beyond that by giving us closeups of nearly everything. The director also does his best to avoid giving us dialog. When a revelation is to be made, he cuts to something else leaving us guessing as to what was said or wasn't said. Ordinarily low budget movies stay away from action or effects by giving us characters and dialog. Skull Forest insists on action and effects and avoids story for some reason. There is some fairly well done gore and some nudity as well which does make this movie stand out among low budget flicks. In general for a movie with little to no budget Skull Forest represents a strong effort by the cast and crew.

Woodyanders Four female friends embark on a weekend camping expedition into the woods. Things go horribly awry when the quartet runs afoul of a group of wicked rick folks who enjoy hunting humans for sport. Will any of these ladies make it out of the forest alive? Just like "Wendigo," this film stands out as a radical departure for Do-It-Yourself indie movie-maker Len Kabasinski and KillerWolf Films: The narrative has a real mean'n'lean streamlined quality to it, with no lulls, filler, or pretense of any kind; the dark'n'gritty tone doesn't pull any punches, the nudity comes across as more organic and less gratuitous than in previous KillerWolf pictures (in fact, a fair share of said nudity surprisingly isn't erotic at all, as an extremely impressive sequence with a nude gal who's covered in both blood and dirt clawing her way out of the ground confirms), and the take-no-prisoners attitude delivers several genuinely startling moments in which certain characters one initially expects to survive instead wind up meeting brutal untimely ends. Lisa Neeld as the tough Tori, Pamela Sutch as the weary Sara, Melissa Scott as the perky Liz, and especially Sara Brooks as the determined and resourceful Caroline make for strong and sympathetic protagonists. Moreover, the villains are a colorful bunch: Kabasinski as the ruthless Steve Reminger, Brian Anthony as a deadly crooked cop, K.K. Ryder as the vicious Micah Wolfsblood, and Deanna Visalle as formidable Russian Patricia Voldolsky. However, top acting honors easily go to James Scott Charles Howells for his lively and deliciously slimy portrayal of cocky and decadent rock singer Daniel Spinelli, who's kind of like an evil version of Tom Petty. The crisp cinematography makes exciting use of a restless hand-held camera and offers a few beautifully panoramic aerial shots of the woods. Well worth seeing.

UK_Zombie Being a big fan of Killerwolf films, I took the trouble to get this from the US. The flick was OK, but was mainly a retake on the hiking trip turns into massacre story. At least the hikers were easy on the eye and could act well. The story had somewhat of a tame ending. It was also a bit short on martial arts compared with their other films, although some might prefer that and the producers may just be responding to the other reviewers who don't like a kick-fest. Contains an interesting 'rising from the dead' with rather a lot of nakedness from Sarah Brooks. In fact there was a lot of nakedness overall for this type of film. Bizarre, but fun. The settings were good (are these the same woods as used for Swamp Zombies?). Production values good and gore and special effects convincing. The arrow scene I particularly liked.I still think Swamp Zombies was their best film. OK I know I am in the minority, but that had a charm of its own. I'm still waiting for Swamp Zombies 2.......Overall, an good film worth seeking out, although not their best title so far (I have the lot). Does anyone know what happened to Bridal Party Massacre and the Ninja film of theirs? Looking forward to Blood Mercury. Cheers. UK Zombie
