“The opening title scenes, nearly the first ten minutes of the film, are filmed from a lower angle, giving us the perspective of the small child, the lead character, as he walks through a neighbourhood in downtown Atlanta on his way to a library. Whilst there, he annoys an annoying librarian before picking up the book, u0026quot;Evil In The Woodsu0026quot;. Apparently he didnu0026#39;t notice the hardback pressing of The Satanic Bible sitting nearby it? This little kid then proceeds to hear an unknown individual narrating the book for him, as we wade through a flashback taking place u0026quot;somewhere near Mildew, Georgia, 1956u0026quot;, which is completely pointless and leads to absolutely nothing, except a song about nachos and tequila. What the bloody hell? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA breathtaking sequence involving a guy and girl, having an affair, being attacked by the smallest Bigfoot-type of creature imaginable. u0026quot;Take 2!u0026quot; The guy and girl being attacked by a Bigfoot-type of creature. Again. But from a different angle! Was u0026quot;take oneu0026quot; from a blooper reel? Was the entire movie just a series of blooper reels? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eToupees on fishing lures, witches, aliens, and midgets are included for no apparent reason. Those things hardly seem like the u0026quot;evil in the woodsu0026quot; the kid is reading about. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot even amusingly bad, just boring; film has a (deliberate?) stream-of-consciousness vibe to it, as though the people making this filmed one subplot until they grew tired of it, and then switched to filming something completely different, and then repeated that process numerous times, and this incredibly boring and confusing, wholly forgettable time-waster is the result.”
