Four young campers head into the deep woods of the Utah mountains for a relaxing weekend. But their fun is spoiled when a machete-wielding maniac embarks on a blood-splattering rampage hacking and slashing all who enter the woods! Intended as a comedy James Bryan's DON'T GO IN THE WOODS...ALONE snuck through with an R-Rating in the U.S. But the U.K. were less amused and banned it outright. Now this wacky absurd entry from the golden age of slashers receives a first-class treatment on DVD.

"Don't Go In The Woods... Alone"
I love this movie, Then again I love campy slasher cheese. The kills are nice and bloody and The characters are likeable .
The soundtrack is a little annoying but I can overlook that.
The Slasher in the woods movies are my favorite so the title alone lured me to it.
There are some hilarious moments in the film in the form of whacked out over the top cameo characters that get sliced and diced before they become annoying.
I was delighted when it finally came out on DVD.. I had wore my VHS copy out.
It doesn't bother me when the quality of the DVD is a little grainy after all that's all part of the look and feel of 70's and 80's low budget slasher flicks.
In my top 25 retro Slashers for splatter,cheese appeal and over all feel of the movie. It's definitely not intended to be taken too seriously, It's a fun ride that's somewhat of a cult sensation in it's own right.

OK, "Don't Go In The Woods" is not award-winning material, but for fans of 80's horror it's one of the uh, finest examples I can think of. A bunch of campers (and other incidental folks in a certain area) are stalked and some killed by a somewhat mysterious killer in the mountains. I say "somewhat" because you do see him fairly early on in the picture. Of course our brave and stalwart hero manages to rescue one of his fellow campers but another is still stranded up in the mountains with the loony so the young man goes BACK to find here, don't you know...Supposedly, this was meant to be a "black comedy" and there are some indications of that but it actually works better as a cheesy 80's horror film than a black comedy, to my mind. The DVD on "Code Red" looks great, there's some extras too but I could care less about those, it's just good to have this movie in a WATCHABLE format besides my old worn VHS tape. 4 out of 5 stars.

This review is from: Don't Go in the Woods...Alone! (DVD)

I remember seeing this movie years ago, and for a long time I seemed to remember it being pretty scary. After recently watching "Don't go in the Woods...Alone!" again, I realized I was confusing this movie with another under-the-radar 80's slasher called "Just Before Dawn". Where "Dawn" actually tries to frighten the viewer, "Woods" sets out to.....well I'm not really sure? While it is a slasher flick, and it does feature buckets of blood, I don't think they were really setting out scare people. You will be chuckling throughout the movie, you can't help it. The basic story of two couples on a weekend camping trip serves as just a backdrop while a furry mountain man seems to slash his way around a mountain full of girls on rollerskates, newlyweds, birdwatchers, and even a guy in a wheelchair??!! Seriously, at about every 5 minutes for the duration of the film we are introduced to some new character, only to watch them get sliced and diced. This movie has to have one of the biggest body counts of any 80's slasher film made. So if you are just into having a goofy good time, laughing at the maniacal hillbilly whose shriek/laugh sounds like a villain from Scooby-Doo, machete his way through the countryside, offing about a dozen or so victims, then I can't recommend this movie highly enough.
