Gave me a headache.

And I guess it's about the woods. Therefore there is minuscule relevance for cheaply robbing its title from the Robert Frost poem.

But there is nothing "lovely" about this movie. It goes for obscure and abstract very early by setting up that the main character might have mental issues. The movie then relies on this exposition to fiddle with what may or may not be real - with lots of trippy visuals and altered audio. And that is the part that will induce vein-throbbing in people who hate this type of cheap plot convention in their horror-based cinema. If I want to watch Fear and Loathing, I'll watch Fear and Loathing.

Also, it purports to be set in the National Park system of the United States of America but has a 100% European feel to it. I don't like pointless deception.

The reveal of what might be going on is a ho-hum snore of any number of lesser X-Files twists . So no, it's not every "deep".

Overall, the movie is more annoying than entertaining. But there are a few scenes at night. I guess that partially justifies the "dark" aspect.

The uniforms and the duct-taped ranger sign things were okay. Otherwise, no.
