Fear of Dark

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2000)

I think the ones who didn't like this film don't have any imagination or expected too much from it.It's my opinion that TBWP is absolutely the most original horror film of last 20 years.Released with few dollars and many ideas this movie is able to give you a sense of fear from first frame to the last,but only if you accept to be caught into the wood with the three poor students,in this case it's impossible to not be involved in their nightmare.The amazing idea of the movie is to erase every cliche'of horror films,avoiding to show monsters,or "gore" scenes,and the fear comes out from this ..Actually you never see what is really happening but you know that is the most horrible thing possible and the desperate screams of the girl are not easy to forget .This film is the fear of the dark,the fear of the darkest corner of our room into the night,it touches us deeply inside our most ancient fears..fear to be alone and helpless even in the society of mobiles and internet..,fear of the horrible witch that our grandmothers told to scare us And who cares if the whole story is invented ? it works! a scary movie must be scaring and this movie reach this target..after seen it I think you won't go for a picnic in the wood for a long time..
