Product Description

Crime thriller starring Patrick Muldoon as Matt Sullivan, a man haunted by a tragic drink-driving accident several years before in which he knocked down and killed a young girl. His guilt about the accident has caused him to suffer paranoid delusions, and now, driving to visit the family of his new girlfriend, Dawn (Keegan Connor Tracy) in their reclusive woodland home, the inner demons seem to be getting worse. First he is attacked by an axe-wielding psychopath in his motel room, then Dawn mysteriously disappears before turning on him herself. It transpires that Dawn and her family have their own very personal reasons for taking their revenge on the terrified Matt...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but too many unneeded flashback sequences 28 Nov 2009
By NoWireHangers
Format:DVD
Matt Sullivan goes with his new girlfriend Dawn to see her parents who live in the remote "Blackwoods". They stop at a hotel. After sex Dawn goes for a walk and while she's gone, a man with an ax breaks into the motel room and tries to kill Matt. Neither the motel owner nor the local sherriff believs him. Dawn is still missing so Matt goes to look for her.

The story is pretty good and Blackwoods could have been a good movie. But it suffers from way too many flashback sequences and it's not until about halfway into the movie that they start to make any sense; before that they're just confusing and annoying and distract from enjoying the story. Clint Howard is funny as the motel owner but the rest of the cast is pretty weak. All in all not a bad film but it cold have been better. Weak 3 star rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever & Creepy thriller 8 April 2012
By James Cameron
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Patrick Muldoon stars in this really creapy triller/horror which brought director & co-writer Uwe Boll to international fame.
Matt Sullivan is haunted by the death of a girl he caused during a drunken drive and things start to come back to bite him when he and his girlfriend Dawn go to visit her parent's who live in Blackwoods.

The plot will keep you guessing as to the truth behind events right to the end. The only real complaint I can make is the over use of arty action sequences which do make the eyes go funny after the longer segements.

All in all, this is a great B-movie thriller, the kind of films I wish there were more of.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best surprise ending! See Patrick Muldoon in the Blackwoods 18 Jun 2003
By James McDonald - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Matt (Patrick Muldoon) takes his girlfriend to the backwoods. Along the way, Matt has flashbacks of his past. He's been in this part of the backwoods before. First they are pulled over by the Sheriff (Michael Pare), who thinks he knows Matt somehow before. Then they reach a motel with a seedy hotel manager (Clint Howard) who only rents rooms with porno television to couples. After some pleasure, Matt falls asleep and has a nightmare of his past. Suddenly he is awaken by an ax-carrying man at the door. After telling and showing the lazy hotel manager what just happened, alone in the room now, he goes a little crazy for a while. So scared. So frustrated. Later he takes a walk in the backwoods and come across a house.
Patrick Muldoon, we remember from the NBC serial "Days Of Our Lives" (Austin 1992-95, 2011-12).
Michael Pare has done good work in Eddie and the CruisersEddie and the Cruisers (1983) / Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! (1988) (Totally Awesome 80s Double Feature) (1983) and The Philadelphia Experiment(1994).
Clint Howard was the little boy with the bear in the Gentle Ben tv series (1967-1969) and he is the brother of Ron.
Nice tune: "Out Of The Rain" written and performed by Charlemaine.
Best surprise ending of a story about the male lead I've seen in a long time. No specials on this DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE 28 Jan 2004
By Michael Butts - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Patrick Muldoon sure would be a household name if everyone watched the countless straight to videos this man has made. Muldoon possesses a swarmy sexuality, and a boy next door demeanor that has placed him in several heroic type roles. In "Blackwoods" however, Muldoon is cast in a role in which his character can be questioned. Director Uwe Boll uses kinetic flashbacks to illustrate this story of a man who is held hostage by a strange backwoods family, who hold him responsible for the death of their youngest daughter. Muldoon struck and killed her with his car. The family believes he was drunk when he did it and didn't get the justice they feel he deserved. So they decide to exact their revenge?
Or wait a minute...did it happen the way Muldoon remembers?
This is an intriguing, enigmatic tale where nothing is as it seems. Muldoon does a great job, with some good support from Michael Pare, Will Sanderson and zany Clint Howard.
The ending is a surprise, even though you should see it coming!
Still, quite different for Muldoon and worthwhile.

1.0 out of 5 stars This disc needs to be taken off the market 7 Jan 2004
By O. Diaz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I wish I could review the film itself, because it looked very promising. Unfortunately, it isn't possible because the two copies I screened were defective. Some players refused to track beyond chapter 7, others, the last 2 chapters, 19 & 20. In every case, the picture froze and broke up, making complete viewing of the film impossible. The original, more expensive release of this DVD by Velocity Home Entertainment has been reviewed on this site without technical complaints, so I'm ordering that one instead. Meanwhile, Platinum needs to take this botched budget pressing off the market.
