Don’t Try This in the Woods

A group of thrill-seeking teenagers venture into a remote, supposedly haunted forest to film a viral video. As night falls, they discover the legends are terrifyingly real, and they are being hunted by something ancient and malevolent.

As a 2025 release, critical reception is not yet available. However, early buzz suggests it aims to capitalize on the found-footage horror trend with a focus on intense atmosphere and jump scares.

• Anticipated to deliver familiar horror tropes with a modern, social media-driven twist.

• Likely to be praised for its suspenseful build-up, but may face criticism for predictable plot points.

• Audiences are expected to enjoy the visceral scares and the isolation of its setting.

Google audience: Audience sentiment is speculative given the film's future release. Early expectations point towards a strong performance in its niche genre, with potential for both genuine scares and criticism for its reliance on established horror formulas.

The filmmakers reportedly scouted real, remote forests known for local folklore to enhance the film's authenticity and chilling atmosphere.
