Hidden in the Woods (Fantasia Fest 2012)


En las Afueras de la Ciudad, Chile, 2012, dir. Patricio Valladares **

A father keeps his three kids trapped in a cabin in the woods for years. They learn to survive on their own, and guess what? They also happen to eat human flesh. This cannibalistic gorefest is fast-paced and disturbing, reminding us of the 70's and 80's exploitation films. The acting is somewhat fake, the story and overall pace keeps you awake until the end.
