Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight
Polish terror will please fans of low-budget 1980s slasher films. With questionable visual effects and an overly obvious plot, the feature follows a group of young people in search of a connection to nature that ends up becoming victims of a serial killer. The best thing is that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it all the more interesting in this setting. One of the characters even questions if the story isn't too cliche. 'W lesie dzis nie zasnie nikt' has an interesting soundtrack, some of the actors look like they came straight out of the classic 'The Goonies'. The production is recommended for passing the time, especially if you're the kind of audience who watches everything with their cell phone in hand - in this case, it's important to put the movie dubbed if you're not fluent in Polish.
Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight 2
"No One Will Sleep in the Woods Tonight 2" is the continuation of the Polish slasher that attracted many people on Netflix, becoming a hit on the platform. The new movie follows the story from where the previous one ended, with the only survivor of the massacre trying to explain her story to the police and ends up in a prison cell. Thus, the agents return to the site to find out more details of what happened and end up discovering that the killers are still there. The film seeks to be a refreshing breath in the genre, changing already established rules and bringing new nuances to the survivor character presented in the previous feature film. For horror fans who still don't know the franchise and are looking for innovation, or at least something that breaks away from the Hollywood standard, this is the right choice.

There's Something in the Barn
In this holiday horror comedy, Bill moves his American wife Carol and children Nora and Lucas to Norway where he's inherited a family estate. While Bill dreams of turning the adjourning barn into a bed and breakfast, his family struggles to adapt to Scandinavian life. Lucas discovers a mischievous barn elf from ancient folklore living in the barn with a set of rules the family must follow. When Bill dismisses Lucas's warnings and fails to follow sacred holiday traditions, the elf plots to get rid of the American intruders at any cost.
Thanksgiving
Among so many horror productions, it's challenging to stand out with a compelling plot or enough audiovisual creativity. It's also difficult to achieve the delicate balance between humor and violence to create an effective horror comedy. After some failed experiments (even in other genres), director Eli Roth (Hostel) returns to his roots—and basics—with a feast of gore and twisted yet effective humor. In Thanksgiving, a tragedy during Black Friday prompts the appearance of a serial killer inspired by the American holiday. As victims of his violent crimes begin to emerge in a Massachusetts town, the townspeople must uncover his identity before it's too late. A familiar story, yes, but with witty social commentary and, above all, a level of violence as extreme as it is ridiculous and entertaining, sure to satisfy fans of gore and the director.
