You Should Not Look Behind The Trees.
wandernn1-81-68327416 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
So we begin here with 3 people what...in a van , in the woods. One girl spots like some purse in the trees and goes to investigate. Oh is it 4 people? Ok. 5 people?? 4 people search for girl who wandered off and appears to be screaming. Wander into weird bamboo field or something. They find some odd locked hut and some is locked inside it!! Then they all run off!!

Roll Opening Credits

Okay fine ill be generous , +1 Star for Opening Weirdness.

Cut to Los Angeles. Meet cute couple #1. Then they travel to India for some trip. Scheduling a safari TOUR through the Tiger Reserve. Ooo yeah make out session in their room and the door mysteriously swings open!!! No one is there!

Okay day 2, checking out monkeys, and making out and dinners and more making out.

Dude proposes to girl who says No way! Later they go out exploring and come across some random exorcism. As every couple who goes to India and stays at a private resort experiences. They carry girl off into bamboo field and oh okay theres that structure from the beginning. I guess they stick girl inside there and lock her in. Couple roams thru field and finds girl inside banging on door. Oh door isn't locked and dude lets girl out. Feverish rescued girl is taken back to the room.

-1 Star for that very cliched use of the opening cell door sound effect. 2nd time they've used it for 2 different doors.

Girl freaks out but then is later just rocking in some creaky chair. All hotel rooms in India come with a very creaky rocking chair I'm sure. Girl gives advice, 'You Should Not Look Behind The Trees.' She says that's where her mom warned her, that's where they hide. And they don't want you to see them.

India dude reminds girlfriend why he loves her so much. then he has some kind of weird moment. Creepy rocking chair girl is asleep. When girl is awake, they find out her name is Asha.

So suddenly they are spending all their time with this Asha girl in their room?? Without contacting authorities or telling anyone they found her in some locked up yurt in the bamboo forest???

-1 Star for complete lack of logic

ASha and Amy? Is it, outside playing on the seesaw. Was that sprig of spices that was behind Amy supposed to be some sort of malevolent spirit??? Meanwhile Jay is off with guide dude in the bamboo field visiting the Yurt. Guide freaks out when he finds out they released Asha.

Jay gets stabbed by some mask faced dude in the bamboo. Amy gets voicemail from Jay about Asha, that Asha has been lying to them and that she killed a whole family.

Amy starts freaking out and among other things gets chased by Asha ends up stumbling through the bamboo and hiding in the clearing Yurt. Amy starts banging on the door to get out after Asha bars the door and says to Amy, 'You're safe now. I won't let them hurt you' And walks off.

Credits Roll.

That was it? Okay -1 for that ending.

Oh wait Epilogue. Jay who took the machete thru his gut is still walking around. He makes it back to the hotel room! He's in the hospital now and it's 4 days later! Jay is cruising with the police along the road near the bamboo field and there it is!! The people from the opening of the movie run into the road and flag the police! So maybe Jay and Amy do get to be together after all!!! Then again maybe not! The credits continue.

Okay I was not very impressed. 3/10

Everything can be explained

Warning: Spoilers
Like most mediocre horror movies, it opens with a teaser to hold your interest. It then goes back to two weeks earlier. Jay (Sahil Shroff ) and his girlfriend of one year, Amy (Vanessa Curry ) take a trip to northern India, Jay's home country. While out in the woods, they get lost and witness and exorcism. After the little girl was locked away, they rescue her. Bad idea.

The small village had a number of old superstitions that the victim did not obey. Things like don't whistle at night, don't look behind you in the woods, don't eat the yellow snow. The film kept you thinking it was going to go somewhere, which it does after the first end credit role, another goofy idea that is not clever.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Yawn.
jasonprentis24 April 2020
Nothing new here, it's been done before. I see other reviews scoring 8,9 and 10 stars - really? You have to be joking. Seriously? Makes you wonder who these "reviewers" are. Hmm.

Waste of time
Nadia_2224 April 2020
I'm a true horror fan and I enjoy a good movie but this wasn't neither a horror nor a good movie, it was just screams and runs and it made no sense at all. Another lame movie which you should skip, it's a waste of time.

So underwhelming...
kaigrzegorzyk25 April 2020
Move along... Nothing to see here! Literally! They cut away for every "horror" scene, which makes the movie pointless and way to pg-13, if even. Missed the mark and the inexperience in horror (by the director and actors) shows in so much ways. I live for horror, but seeing that I died a little...

Definitely a fun watch
nmisra-4017223 November 2019
It's a movie much better than expected. First half is majorly dedicated to build the story and suspense but it surely picks up in the second half. There are many scary moments in the movie that will keep you at the edge of your seat through out. Also, everybody's performance is commendable.

Anything but horror
queenofmy_self21 November 2019
It was a wast of time and money. People in the theater started talking in the middle of the movie but it was so boring and no action at all. It was a cheap production with no good story, and definitely no horror at all.

WORST MOVIE EVER
xtiffaniet16 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly, the main couple ruined the movie. Who the heck intervenes a ritual (that they don't understand) and risks everything just to take the girl out of the box because it was "the right thing to do"? Horrible plot. Unseasoned actors. Save yourself some time and skip this movie.

Totally Creeped Out!
burgundybrooks23 November 2019
First off, who said this was a horror? Bad on them because it's a straight up thriller (big difference). Saw the film days ago and still can't get it out of my head. Beautiful panaromics of India mixed with haunting music and a story line that blends romance, mystery and pure fright! Not the kind of "Nightmare on Elm Steet" gore and blood and guts, but more along the lines of "Poltergeist" or M.Night Shymalan flicks. Moviegoers all around me would shriek, cover their eyes or squeal during a creepy scene.This is the good ole fashioned entertainment I think we need.

Vanessa Curry is so hot it was hard to take my eyes off of her while the dreamy and talented Sahil Shroff gave a believable performance. That little girl scared the #$% out of me. I may never babysit or go camping again because of her. To the first-time filmmaker, sequel please.

No Bob's. No vagene.
kanewest-8141115 May 2020
I cannot get my time back on this one. Seriously one of the best worst movies I've ever endured. Even the wifey agreed. One star tops on rating. Best to watch if really bored and even then grass growing is more exciting to watch.
