Well it's definitely not a horror movie ....and i didn't expect that . It appears that there were others that would disagree . I would say it was similar to Blair Witch but ...I was more disappointed by that than I was this .Blair Witch was literally all build up and no pop ? This had at least a pop- but that's all . I didn't like the way it skirts the boundaries of reality and fiction . I reads as if this occurred ....and upon searching , students did vanish in that area but not these , and not in the same place .then it shows a missing poster with local phone numbers ...which is janky . If this had been recovered footage and was exactly as it played i would say 9 . But since they say , it was recovered footage and don't play it into the script of the movie it's misleading .....and as a complete fictitious romp ....it falls flat ....as a movie that tried to trick the viewers into thinking it is recovered real footage .....boo hiss. Weak

When it comes to 'The Blair witch Project,' you either love it or you hate it - there's no middle ground, even if you claim 'it was okay.' You're lying.Personally, I love the film, and I'll go as far as calling it one of my favorite horror films - unfortunately, Anthony Daniel more than likely agrees with me. Unlike Anthony Daniel, I don't feel the need to 'cash in' on the whole found footage trend that's been going around for quite a while now, by tossing out complete and utter garbage like 'Spirit in the Woods.' As I've said many times, the whole found footage deal is a bad director's wet dream. 'Spirit in the Woods' follows the Blair Witch pattern by using the actors real names, for, you know, realism. The lead actress, and I use this term as loosely as possible - Kinsley Funari, spends her time, much like the Heather character in 'Blair Witch' whining and complaining throughout the film, at many levels of annoyance, since the sound is just one of many reasons this film stinks. The difference is, Heather had some decent, and funny characters around her, to keep her annoyance in check. Well, the characters in 'Spirit in the Woods,' are just as worthless as the lead. I did, however, get a chuckle when one of the characters tossed something into the small lake (Hmm, Blair Witch, anyone?) Long story short, this film is just a cash in, and the only compliment I can give any person connected to this trash is - nothing I just saw was done in a serious manner (If it was, God have mercy on your souls.)Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Spirit in the Woods' is literally one full hour of a group of people wandering through the woods, trying to look lost - and when the climax finally arrives, not only won't you care, but you'll probably have to do a quick rewind, to see what the hell even happened. I'm not even sure a script was involved, since the dialogue is so bad, the actors mess up numerous lines, such as my favorite: 'He probably has no time on his hands,' in a situation where 'He probably has too much time on his hands,' would have made more sense. The film is just all around badly made, with some of the most useless ''actors'' ever put on film. I did follow Kinsley Funari on twitter - maybe she won't read this review?

Right from the trailer, I knew I was being subjected to garbage. This movie is complete bilge. I have seen YouTube videos made by teenagers and college students that were less amateur than this movie. The acting is terrible, it looks like it was edited on iMovie by an 8 year old and it looks like it was shot on a freaking cellphone camera. I'd be less than surprised if Anthony Daniel just pocketed the money, got a few people who were willing to work for free, shot it on an iPhone and edited it half-assedly on Windows Movie Maker, because the funding I know for a fact that he secured should have at least paid for a good camera and good editing software if he was using it right. That amber alert poster looks like it was made on Paint. The improv is so unnatural that it makes me want to set myself on fire. The pacing is god awful. Nothing happens until the very freaking end and even still, I don't know what in god's name I'm looking at.There's really not much else to say. The movie is garbage and that's all there is to it.

This movie actually made my head and body hurt because of how bad it was. The script is terrible the acting is awful, and I'm pretty sure in some early scenes some of the actors were laughing.... I'm assuming because they themselves couldn't believe they agreed to this. The bet part of the movie was the trail they were on in the beginning. It's pretty. Reportedly the budget for the film was 6k, and in my opinion you can make something much better than this. The Blair Witch Project had a very low budget as well and to this day is still one of the greatest "found footage" films recorded. I am a huge fan of found footage films and wish more were being made, however if they are all like this from now on, the genre is doomed.
