"Don't Go in the Woods" DVD Review: D'Onofrio Dazzles and Confuses
BIG HOLLYWOOD
by Zachary Leeman
I SAW THIS AND HAVE TO SAY MR. LEEMAN INVESTED A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY IN TURNING OUT A WELL THOUGHT OUT REVIEW. DGITW IS AVAILABLE ON DVD THIS COMING TUESDAY, JUNE 12TH. CLICK ON THE IMAGE IN MY SIDEBAR TO ORDER YOUR COPY.
Vincent D'Onofrio's "Don't Go in the Woods" seems to have no larger ambitions other than to be a very strange and entertaining trip in the backyard of both D'Onofrio's house and his artistic brain. The film doesn't want to delve into deep philosophical Kubrick like conversations about the purity of art and some people's utter obsession with it (though the film does touch on this). No. What "Don't Go in the Woods" wants to be is a horror musical that never feels tongue in cheek, but also never feels cliched. "Don't Go in the Woods" is even driven by the most hackneyed, unoriginal and simple horror movie set up story in the world. That being said, "Don't Go in the Woods" takes that simple story, flips it on its head, then its side, then sucker punches it in the face, buries it and then challenges us to find it. "Don't Go in the Woods" is about a second rate band that decides to ditch modern day technology and isolate themselves in the wood in order to conjure up some real originality. The problems start when their girlfriend groupies have followed them into the woods and everyone falls back into their lazy partying ways. This is much to the chagrin of their lead singer. After discovering that their cars will not start, they realize that they are all stuck in the woods together. The issue being that there is a mysterious man wandering the woods picking their singing little asses off one by one in some very strange and grotesque ways.
D'Onofrio has decided to go beyond independent with this film. He uses non actors and literally filmed the entire thing in the woods behind his house. He used his friend, Sam Bisbee, to compose the songs for the film and lets his imagination run free. Presenting the film warts and all works in its favor. The acting is actually good and more realistic than most horror movies of today. This is because actors in modern horror movies feel the need to overact. Watching a modern horror movie can be like sitting through an awful late night acting class at your local community college. The actors here work as do their voices, which are also presented warts and all. Everyone here can sing, but D'Onofrio never gives the singing or the film the false feeling that most musicals carry. A lot of the singing feels like it was recorded while filming as opposed to most musicals where we watch an actor lip sing to something computerized and recorded in a studio later on.
The music is also surprisingly good. Bisbee creates highly original tunes that feel like real hits. This gives the band in the film a much more real aura about them. The music works and that makes the film work for the most part.
But, time for the real question. Horror plus hipster music? Really? Well, if anyone can make it work it would be someone like D'Onofrio and he does make it work. If the direction had been unprofessional and the script a little more ignorant and the music a little worse then it would've been easier to laugh at the actors every time they break out into song (sometimes while being killed), but D'Onofrio directs with surprising professionalism and makes the film look moody and real and makes the transitions smooth and easy. The script also walks a fine line pretty well by never becoming a tongue in cheek work, but always being aware of the genre's cliches and playing with them in very unique ways. And, of course, the music is the biggest highlight of the film. How someone pulled off a gruesome horror movie musical with hipster tunes is a miracle.
It's surprising to see this film not look like a $10 home movie made by a crazy actor for his own pleasure, but it looks nothing like that. D'Onofrio crafts a highly original and highly strange piece of Gothic art that both dazzles your mind while also leaving you dumbfounded at the how and why of everything, but never in a bad way. D'Onofrio's direction is like a mix between someone who has watched endless amounts of Kubrick and Malick and decided to pull off a genre film on the cheap. It makes you wish he started directing sooner in his career.
"Don't Go in the Woods" is strange and entertaining and even a little bit confusing until the very end of this very bloody and musical 83 minutes, but alas the film is truly not for everyone. In fact, many will hate it (isn't that always the sign of great art though?). Many will not see the point. Why the music? What's wit the ending? Why so bloody?...The point is simply to make something inventive. Something that works beyond the scope of the simplistic films of today. D'Onofrio may never make a "Battleship," but he doesn't need to. He works in the vein of professional and highly original directors before him (Kubrick included). He makes a film that will dumbfound you, please you, disgust you, entertain you, make you dance, make you wince....hell, what's not to love?
The special features include an interview with D'Onofrio that is much too brief and nowhere near enough in depth and a quick behind the scenes feature that shows you how truly independent this film really was.
D'Onofrio's character of Gomer Pyle will forever be remembered in military cadence and he will always be remembered as being the actor to reinvent himself as the unforgettable Detective Robert Goren on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." Now, here's to hoping D'Onofrio has another phase left in his career to dazzle us with: that of the director.

Vincent D'Onofrio to recreate ''10'''s George Webber?
Today, I was updating Vincent's Wikipedia page and saw that someone had added '10' on to his filmography for the year 2014. The most bizarre thing is that I had just stayed up a few nights ago to watch the original. I'm not saying it's ground in stone but I did find this old article in Variety that does speak of entertaining the idea of a remake...
Hyde Park to remake '10' Company nabs rights to Edwards' 1979 laffer
VARIETY
By Michael Fleming Posted: Thu., Jul. 17, 2008, 8:00pm PT
Hyde Park Entertainment Group has secured rights from Blake Edwards to remake his 1979 comedy "10." Original pic starred Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews and a famously cornrowed Bo Derek. Hyde Park chairman Ashok Amritraj and exec Patrick Aiello will produce with Lou Pitt; Blake Edwards and Geoffrey Edwards will exec produce.
After a long campaign to get Edwards to entrust them, the producers have already met with agencies to package the romantic comedy. They hope to engage in a global search for a newcomer to play the new "10."
"Blake's timeless original encapsulated the fallacy of 'the grass is always greener' in relationships," said Amritraj.
Hyde Park's in post on the Capcom vidgame adaptation "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," which will be released Feb. 27 through its co-production deal with 20th Century Fox. Hyde Park also just wrapped romantic comedy "The Other End of the Line," which MGM will release in November. Hyde Park Intl. is selling international on those titles.

A little bragging...
I thought I'd sidetrack things a bit after seeing this trailer for the film 'The Perks of Being A Wallflower' which was filmed in Pittsburgh and mostly in my own backyard.
The film is based on the book written by Stephen Chbosky who graduated from my high school, and incidentally, the same school where the 'Central Park Jogger' graduated from whose story was featured in an episode of CI. I bought the book and read through voraciously as I just couldn't put it down.
Wanting to keep true to his book, especially with the references to locations, Stephen chose to film in and around Pittsburgh. I've never had filming so close to me and I joined the casting agency in hopes of becoming an extra in the movie. I was called a couple of times but unfortunately when I called back the positions were already taken...I just wasn't fast enough.
A friend of mine got in and was called to be in a few of the scenes. The trailer shows one of the scenes in which Emma Watts' character stands in the bed of a pickup truck to ride through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. 'The tunnels' or 'tubes' are carved through the highest mountain in Pittsburgh...'Mount Washington', and provide access from the suburban 'South Hills' to the inner city of downtown Pittsburgh.
At the time, the tunnels were closed for the filming of this scene but done at night when less traffic would be effected. Reminded me of the time the tunnels were closed for my brother, who had a fractured skull and needed to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. He was nine years old and thought it very exciting while we the family were beside ourselves with worry. Everything turned out fine, though any hopes of a football career were dashed.
The ride through the tunnel is a source of pride for Pittsburghers because at the other end is one of the most spectacular views of the city...it's breath-taking. And now it is captured on film.
Since I didn't get to be in the film, I did go to a couple of the locations where it was being filmed nearby. The photo I posted below was at a church down the street from where I live. The craft services people were very kind to all of us and arranged for us to take photos. I was one mingled in with a group of young girls who knew who was who but I only really knew of Emma Watts and a couple of others in the cast. The girls were adorable and their excitement was contagious.
This is Zane Holtz who plays the main character's brother. He was extremely nice and gracious.
I visited another location at a restaurant down the street but it was really late at night and my photos didn't turn out well enough to post. All the scenes were being filmed inside and we were barricaded off from really seeing anything save for when the cast marched by.
Still another location was at a theatre, and for a scene showing the cast watching and participating in the movie ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show''. That same theatre is where the movie ran continuously for years...and held a record...and where I first saw it and got initiated by a wallop in the face with a hotdog. Those who are RHPS experts will understand the reference.
''Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introvert freshman who is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.''
The opening is on September 14TH and I can't wait to see it!

"Six Degrees of Vincent D'Onofrio"...Richard Dawson...
WIKIPEDIA
Colin Lionel Emm was born on November 20, 1932 in Gosport, Hampshire, England and is known for his role in 'Hogan's Heroes', as host of 'Family Feud' and panelist on 'Match Game'. His father was American and his mother was English. When he was fourteen years old he ran away from home to join the Merchant Marines where he pursued a boxing career. After his discharge, he began a comedy career under the name 'Dickie Dawson' and later took the legal name of 'Richard Dawson'. Richard had small roles in various TV shows and films and when he moved to Los Angeles took on his memorable role of 'Cpl Peter Newkirk' in 'Hogan's Heroes'. It was Richard who introduced fellow actor Bob Crane to John Henry Carpenter who worked with the video department at Sony Electronics and recorded Crane's sexual excapades on video tape. Carpenter was later implicated in Crane's unsolved murder. Richard was also a regular on Rowan and Martin's 'Laugh-In' during the 70's. In the 80's, he became the host of 'Family Feud' where he developed his trademark of kissing the contestants for good luck. After its cancellation, Richard returned to host a syndicated version in the early 90's and received a 25 second standing ovation that left him overwhelmed and close to tears. Richard 1st marriage was to Diana Dors, producing two sons, but ended in divorce. His second marriage was to Gretchen Johnson who had been a contestant on 'Family Feud' in 1981. They had a daughter, Shannon. Yesterday, Richard Dawson passed away from esophageal cancer. He was 79 years old. Find the connection!
