The Woods Have Eyes Trailers

When a group of young campers wander into the backwoods of upstate New York to see if Cappy's Cabin--a place they think exists only in urban legend--is real, they find themselves in a twisted game of predator and prey as night begins to fall. All they have to do is survive until dawn, but Cappy is very, very real, and night has only just begun...

Reviews
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
GazerRise Fantastic!
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Woodyanders Stop me if you've heard this one before. A group of wholly insufferable city kids decide to go hiking in a remote woodland area that's the residential place of legendary local vicious redneck patriarch Cappy (atrociously overplayed with growly gusto by the burly John Kyle). Of course, the dumb kids discover that stories about Cappy being one nasty and lethal cuss are all too true. Of course, Cappy and his equally brutish two sons -- dim-witted hulk Clem (a hilariously broad portrayal by Adam Dunnells) and ferocious behemoth Luke (muscular hulk Michael Christeas) -- hunt the kids as if they were animals. And, of course, the kids tap into their latent killer survivalist abilities and fight back. Yes, this flick is really bad and idiotic, but still quite enjoyable in its very jaw-dropping crumminess. Limply directed by Anthony Indelicato (who also co-wrote the clichéd by-the-numbers script), with no tension or momentum to speak of, plenty of gut-busting unintentional guffaws (the hillbillies communicate with each other by making bird calls!), fuzzy digital cinematography by Valentina Caniglia, lousy acting from a lame no-name cast, cheesy gore f/x (which include an especially laughable and unconvincing decapitation), a dreadful "it was just a dream" cop-out ending, and an annoying monotonous score by William Enrico and Vincent Rongone, this baby possesses all the right wrong stuff to quality as a real four star stinkeroonie. The actors playing the kids are uniformly hateful and repellent in their teeth-grating obnoxiousness: Joseph Anthony as irritable hothead Carmine, Michael Bolten as the wimpy Ernie, Cody Greer as whiny, tubby slug Tommy, A.J. Diaferio as the jerky Michael, and Garrett Harrison as the mean Joe all display the charm and appeal of your basic dirty and disgusting wharf rat. As a nice added bonus, we even get three hot babes baring their beautiful bodies in the obligatory gratuitous group shower scene. A total crappy hoot.
SCYoungReview This film is riddled with totally foolish dialog, camera shots and terrible sound fx (when there even were sound fx).I think whomever wrote this script should have looked up some facts before making the characters spurt foolish statements such as "Birds don't sing at night!" after hearing the hillbillies do a LOON call. I live in Canada and I can tell you they most certainly do call at night! Anyhoo...Bad acting by 95% of the cast, terrible sound fx, lame plot line (if you could even say it had a plot) and all around foolishness makes this movie a trash bag companion for sure!
dilbertsuperman This is part of a growing trend of amateur horror on a shoe-string budget. Our lead is like an Italian mel Gibson- about 4 feet tall with the moxy of a pit bull- which is like watching dwarf wrestling at times.There's some kids in the movie which takes away from the "all my drinking buddies are in this film" feel that is common to the genre.THE PLOT: several young boys and their two chaperones get stuck out in the woods for a night or two while they are stalked by hillbillies with guns and a score to settle. -not all of them are going to make it back.. The ending is contrived to the extreme and only reminds us that we are watching an amateur's idea of what a movie is.Lot's of forest scenes and running around and hiding behind trees- right before someone gets whacked.
stevensullivan1988 The movie was not the best, but at the same time I did enjoy it, its nothing big and it won't ever win any awards. But I still think it was good, they could have done with a better ending! but I would tell you only to rent if you know what you are getting yourself into, if you like low budget slasher independent films then I say you watch this. Now they said it was based on true events, I do not know how true that is, because it just seemed like the story has been done before. The acting is not to bad, some of the cast could have done better. But like I said I did enjoy the movie, maybe even enough to watch it again. All I'm saying is that there are better movies out there but there is also worse ones for sure. But if you do enjoy film, I think you should watch this.
