Don't Go in the Woods
Everyone has nightmares about the ugliest way to die.
Four backpackers decide to take a hike in the mountains of Utah. But within the woods lurks a killer. But who...or what...is it? The lazy local sheriff blames bears. But the escalating body count seems to point to a human killer. Ignoring the warning signs, our campers remain lost in the woods...alone...awaiting their fate.

Reviews
**_Possibly the worst Friday the 13th knockoff of the 80s_** Hikers in northern Utah find themselves the prey of a psycho outcast living in the wilderness. "Don’t Go in the Woods” (1981) is a low-budget slasher in the tradition of “Friday the 13th” (1980). It’s similar to the future "The Final Terror" (1983) and "Berserker” (1987), but those are masterpieces by comparison; so is “Blood Hook”
Really awful in every regard: acting, setting, pacing, intensity, horror/gore. Nothing. And at times, at least early, absolutely hilarious with the dialogue and bad dubbing work. I did watch this very late so I did get a little tired towards the end, but still this is quintessential good-bad territory. **1.0/5**
