""The Woods" plays like a classic Lewton film of the '40's, where the emphasis was on telling a good yarn without much ado and wrapping it up in a tightly wound 70 minutes."  Beyond Hollywood  Brian Holcomb

1.5/5
"The actors obviously don't understand the material any more than we do, nor do they seem to care."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

1.5/4
"...a well-made yet thoroughly impenetrable horror flick.."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C+
"Never justifies the witches' tale it was spinning."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

6/10
"Derrière The Woods se cache sans l'ombre d'un doute un film d'horreur qui aurait pu facilement devenir un classique du genre."  Panorama  Jean-François Vandeuren

3.5/4
"Lucky McKee's latest is not as singular as May, but it's still a solid flick."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

B+
"One of the most polished and inventive horror flicks of the still-ongoing year, a synthesis of classical supernatural and sexualized imagery that expands upon, rather than simply regurgitates, its celebrated predecessors."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

4/5
"Those expecting a shock-a-minute gore-fest will most likely walk away scratching their head, but as a semi-homage to Dario Argento's Suspiria, The Woods is a creepy little winner."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg
