Really awful in every regard: acting, setting, pacing, intensity, horror/gore. Nothing. And at times, at least early, absolutely hilarious with the dialogue and bad dubbing work. I did watch this very late so I did get a little tired towards the end, but still this is quintessential good-bad territory. 1.0/5

Possibly the worst Friday the 13th knockoff of the 80s

Hikers in northern Utah find themselves the prey of a psycho outcast living in the wilderness.

"Don’t Go in the Woods” (1981) is a low-budget slasher in the tradition of “Friday the 13th” (1980). It’s similar to the future "The Final Terror" (1983) and "Berserker” (1987), but those are masterpieces by comparison; so is “Blood Hook” (1986).

Everything is here for a competent slasher, but the creators forgot to include a story with fleshed out characters. As such, the proceedings come across as random gory killings in the wild... read the rest.
