The Ghosts of Johnson Woods is a 2015 horror movie that tells the story of four teenagers who go on a hiking trip in a remote area of Ohio called Johnson Woods. The film stars John Bloom, Matt 'Goose' Goosherst, and Haidyn Harvey. The movie begins with four friends, Alex, Jason, siblings Emily and Nate, who decide to go on a hike in Johnson Woods, a vast forest which is said to be haunted. The group is warned by the locals of a legend that surrounds the woods, that many years ago a young girl disappeared and is now said to haunt the woods. The legend warns that those who enter the forest may never come out. Despite the warning, they decide to ignore the rumors and proceed with their hiking.
As they venture deeper into the woods, strange things start to happen. The group quickly realizes that they are not alone and begin to experience ghostly sightings and eerie sounds. The audience is taken on a thriller ride as they follow the friends, witnessing the gradual increase in tension and fear. Their adventure soon turns into a nightmare and they realize how much trouble they're in when they start dying one after another.
The film's primary focus is on Alex, who suffers from a painful past and starts experiencing bizarre events that seem to be connected to the girl's disappearance. The other members of the group begin to find clues about the girl's vanishing, but it's not enough to get to the truth. They must learn from different local idiosyncratic characters who have encountered magical happenings and fight the perils of Johnson Woods where they battle ghosts and other apparitions.
The director does a great job of creating a creepy atmosphere that builds up throughout the film, with the help of well-placed jump scares and spooky sounds. As the story unfolds, the characters begin to unravel and reveal their fears and secrets, which adds to the tension and excitement.
One of the not so great aspects of the movie is the acting, which has questioned from critics. Although the cast does the best they can, there are still some scenes where the acting falls short, which can affect the impact of some of the most critical scenes of the movie. Although the visual and sound effects were terrific, sometimes the production couldn't hold up the whole of the movie.
Overall, The Ghosts of Johnson Woods is a well-structured ghost story that would be considered a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. The narrative offers a suspenseful and engaging plot that keeps the viewers tied to their seats. The movie encourages the audience to think deeply about the concept of human suffering and the power of the human mind. The Ghosts of Johnson Woods is a movie that is worth giving a chance, but only for audiences who have a very keen interest in the horror genre.
