the wood be the story of a teenage girl take to a private school by her parent after show sign of criminal behavior ( start fire ) . but the faculty and the school itself might have a long tradition of secret behind it . i be draw to this film by the inclusion of actor bruce campbell ( the evil dead ) and who have a pretty pointless part until much later in the film . he do very well in his role and and appear to be move towards a more serious sense of himself a an actor ( he show none of the comedy in here that have make him famous in such role a those in brisco county and jr. or bubba ho tep ) . the real star of the film and though and be the main actress whose name i sadly be not acquaint with . not only very beautiful ( almost in a claire danes way and but good ) but very seductive and grip . i often find myself pause movie to get a sandwich or to use the restroom and but she have me watch every move like she be a puppeteer and i be her helpless marionette . i can not say enough about this stellar performance . i have hear from others that this be a sad follow up to lucky mckee last film and may . i disagree . while may be certainly a unique movie and this one really stand out a a mature vision from the director . i wish all sophomore effort could come across as striking a the wood . the visual effect be very nice and keep the 1965 set well do and make the school seem isolate . later in the film and the visual effect become very noticeable and we see some of the best in the business . i can not say what and a it might give something away and but let me say it might remind you of a notorious scene from campbell earlier film and the original evil dead . the other actor and actress be great and as well . none stand out a poor and though none be nearly as striking a the main actress . one last reason to watch the wood . maybe this be a coincidence ( it most likely be ) and but the film theme song could easily be you don not own me by lesley gore . while many remake exist and the most notable be by a band call rasputina and who feature it on their album how we quit the forest . the title and album cover suggest a girl who be try to leave the wood she be trap in and not unlike the film .
