I think maybe I should have rated this lower, but I literally can't remember a single thing about it.

_Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

_**Irish Indie about a mundane vacation at a holiday home and the (*gasp*) gate to hell nearby**_

A group of friends & family gather at a remote holiday home in rural Ireland, but they’re off-put by the sulfuric stench of a newly opened sinkhole a couple of miles away. The stench will be the least of their cares when a bit o’ hell breaks loose.

“Beyond the Woods” (2018) is an Irish horror Indie that’s mostly mundane drama at the holiday home where the dudes & dudettes hang around drinking & smoking or maybe walking the yard/woods. If you can handle that, things turn horrific in the last act with pretty good infernal f/x, especially for a spare-change Indie. Personally, I enjoyed the lens into everyday social life in Ireland, but others may understandably find it tedious.     

The film runs 1 hour, 23 minutes, and was shot in Cullen (the holiday home & surrounding woods) & Crosshaven (creature nightmare scene), County Cork, Ireland.
