Don't waste your time and money, rubbish film. I thought with Gary Oldman in it, it would be a good film. Wrong

Norman and Lucy have joined Norman's former boss Paul (Gary Oldman) and Paul's Spanish wife Isabel (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) for a vacation at Paul's remote farmhouse in a backwoods region of the Basque country. Norman and Paul go on a hunting trip and discover a horrifying secret that the town has been keeping. On a whole the film is very good but it can be hard to relate to the characters. There are some plot lines that seem to go nowhere and as such are pointless. But Gary Oldman and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón give very good performances. Set in the seventies the style of the direction feels the same. The Backwoods is a very interesting and enjoyable film.
Its a story about two couples going on holiday to a house, owned by garys character, and they get into some trouble. The story line isnt too bad, and there are some bad locals in. It did keep me gripped and i would lend it out as its watchable.
If you like Straw Dogs then this film is for you. Two couples stay in a house in the middle of nowhere and soon run into the "not so friendly" locals. Luckily, It doesn't turn into a teen slasher movie like some many other films, but keeps going in an adult manner. Oldman is outstanding as ever and is well supported by the rest of the cast.
Excellent film well worth the money ...............................................................................................................................................................................................
