Deep in the Woods


Deep in the Woods is a flawed but interesting attempt at a Scream-esque horror movie with a Gallic flair and a more literary backbone than your average slasher, presented here on a DVD that fares well in terms of presentation but suffers when it comes to the extras. The French release, in contrast, looks to be a much meatier affair, featuring a commentary by the director and a handful of behind-the-scenes featurettes, as well as DTS audio. Its lack of English subtitles, however, means that this US release is probably the best option for those without a decent grasp of French.
As part of this year's DVD Times Halloween special, I take a look at Deep in the Woods, a French horror movie seemingly intent on copying the American Scream-esque slasher, but with more interesting ideas going on than initially meets the eye. Artisan's R1 DVD features a pleasing audio-visual presentation but falls short on bonus materials.
