Backwoods is nothing new. We’ve seen the plot in at least a dozen other – and better – movies, that this movie seems familiar at best and ripped-off at worst. There are some scenes that easily would’ve been at home in too many other movies to list here.

With that said, Backwoods isn’t  a bad movie once you get over it’s flaws – the biggest of which being the familiarity already mentioned. Even so, Backwoods has a lot going for it – it’s fast paced, suspenseful and manages to pull off that eerie out of place feeling that makes a slasher movie work. All told, this isn’t one of the best slasher movies I’ve ever seen, but it’s not the worst either.
