Critic Reviews for Bosque de sombras (BackWoods)

A decent cast and ok production values get completely lost in The Backwoods, an atmosphere-rich psychological thriller in which psychology and thrills are missing.

...the film's terrifically promising first act slowly-but-surely gives way to an atmosphere of tedium and superfluousness...

Lots of questions are left unanswered, like a movie you fell asleep watching on late night TV and were never able to find again.

rock-solid performances and an atmosphere of moody menace never fail to grip, even if the film traverses territories that are just a little overfamiliar.
