VOD: Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight (dir: Bartosz M. Kowalski, 2020)

"A week of adventure and awesome fun!"

The USP of this Polish slasher is that a group of tech-addicted 'teenagers' meet up on a no-mobiles camp week, and thus as they find themselves isolated in the woods and at the mercy of unknown killers they have to rely on their wits and on each other.  Beyond that, the film does little that is new, and the film will be either a revelation to non-horror fans or an exercise in predictability for genre aficionados.  Veering alternately between the slasher conventions of the Friday The 13th films (and using some of the same kills) and the OTT comedy of The Evil Dead series, the film is competent, generic and does little to surprise.
