The Woods

The Woods (2006)

In 1965, after provoking a fire in a forest, the rebel teenager Heather Fasulo is sent to the boarding school Falburn Academy in the middle of the woods by her estranged mother Alice Fasulo and her neglected father Joe Fasulo. The dean Ms. Traverse accepts Heather in spite of the bad financial condition of her father. The displaced Heather becomes close friend of the weird Marcy Turner, while they are maltreated by the abusive mate Samantha Wise. During the nights, Heather has nightmares and listens to voices from the woods, and along the days she believes that the school is a coven of witches. When some students, including Marcy, simply vanish, Heather believes she will be the next one…

This movie has some serious b-effects but it also has something special. Something that draws you in and won’t let go until you finish. It’s definitely a movie I would recommend people to watch.
The acting was really quite good, but it does have some major names in it so that shouldn’t be a surprise. Patricia Clarkson for one, she plays the part of Ms. Traverse, a nice surprise since I always thought she was a great actress.
Agnes Bruckner did a pretty good job on playing Heather and she really made the character easy to feel for.

IMDB

I would give this movie a 6/10, could have been better but it was fun to watch.
