In England, when the naive Emilio (Richard Cambridge) buys an old van, he invites his friends Judd (Daniel Maclagan), Molly (Nicole Petty) and Andrew (David Hood) and his sister Ally (Sophie Holland) to travel to a lake in the woods. They get lost and while trying to get directions in a bar in the road to follow the trip, they are scared by a crazy old man, who tells that there are missing persons on the spot. Then, Emilio runs over a woman and she faints. The group sees a mailbox in the roadside and Judd, Molly and Andrew enter in the forest trying to get some help. Along the night, they are chased by naked fallen angels thirsty of blood and their keeper.
I bought "Forest of the Damned" on DVD with the lowest expectation based on the IMDb rating and bad reviews. However, in spite of being a flawed story, I liked this movie and it is totally underrated. The camera style imitates "The Blair Witch Project"; of course it is stupid and senseless the guys look for a telephone in the middle of nowhere or traveling to a distant place in an old van; the character of Ally is an unpleasant bitch, but Sophie Holland is very good in her role; Judd and Nicole do not have meal or drink water along two days; further there is a total lack of explanation about the evil creatures and their need of a human keeper, but anyway the story entertains. I saw that this is the first and unique movie of the gorgeous Nicole Petty, and I expect to see her again since I liked her performance. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Floresta dos Condenados" ("Forest of the Condemned")
