Anthony B @Horror69 Aug 30, 2025 This movie has the worst plot...The worst acting I have seen in ages. I came to the point where I did not give a Rat's A** about any of the Boozer-Loser clan of totally unlikeable characters. If you have trouble sleeping, then this is the movie for you. It is a Snorer.

It's more of a thriller and less of a horror but I truly enjoyed watching it.

The movie builds nicely and really pulls you in. I'm not always a fan of horror, too much carnage sometimes. So I was pleasantly surprised how involved I became. The plot keeps you guessing. Despite its modest budget, this film is a standout achievement in cinematic craftsmanship. It weaves a compelling narrative that is both suspenseful and delightfully trippy, offering a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The cast delivers standout performances, contributing to the movie's overall excellence. Rather than relying on gratuitous violence, the plot keeps viewers engaged through suspense, cleverly leaving much to the imagination.

It captivated me from the very first scene. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I was particularly impressed by the image clarity in the night scenes. The lighting has been intelligently thought out, which is rarely the case. The music is also worth highlighting in this film. The cast distribution is good, and although the story is focused on around ten characters, it's easy to understand who's who, and the group dynamic works well. Definitely a great horror movie that kept me in suspense until the end (and this comes from someone who hates horror movies!). See more Artist E @RT72874412 May 3, 2023 What a trippy little ride this is! As The Village Sleeps is not your regular cabin in the woods horror film. Yes it is set in a cabin in the woods with beautiful young people that come together for a party but it's not full of a lot of blood and guts. Actually there is very little blood and no guts that I can remember. It is suspenseful and full of mystery and probably more of a mystery thriller in my opinion than a horror flick but still I found it interesting and I watched it through til the end. Maybe it doesn't quite deserve 4 stars but honestly it's not a bad flick to pass the time on a rainy day. See more Read all reviews
