Sophia Zalipsky in Let's Not Meet in the Woods (2020)

This found footage horror film follows three sisters - Mollie, Emelie, and Candice, as they document their getaway to a remote home in the woods. What begins as a fun, exciting exploration of their new surroundings soon devolves into a living nightmare. Someone or something is lurking in the wilderness nearby.

The three main characters are portrayed by real life sisters Sophia, Melania and Victoria Zalipsky. The movie was written and directed by Ryan Callaway, and produced by Christina Zalipsky, Amy Callaway and Ryan. Filming took place, safely and with precautions, during the recent Coronavirus pandemic, This resulted in a tighter, creepier script, which underwent several rewrites to cut characters and reduce locations. The supporting cast includes award-winning actress Madeline Lupi, Genevieve Tarrant, Hiram Ortiz, Luke Melnick, Steve Wollet and Melissa Malone.

oddball independent creepshow

(so far) my favorite of these Ryan Callaway micro-budget, handmade, homegrown horrors - inspirational filmmaking that shows what a person can do with creativity, imagination and commitment with a close-knit crew/cast just as committed to it - they're rough around the edges and maybe not everything works - but more exciting in their idiosyncrasies than the pre-processed, factory-made, easy-to-swallow blandness of the same-old-same-old.. there's some weird and creepy stuff going on in these movies - with an off-kilter blend of strange naturalism and stranger anti-realism and a kind of organic randomness that gives them a kind of believability - mixed with familiar, classic horror tropes - from "real-world" horrors, stalker/slasher horror, lost-in-the woods scares - to the fantastical like Satan worshiping cults and demons.. I somehow stumbled onto this one and then watched 2 more -The Ghost In The Darkness and Let's Not Meet - all three are connected and work off of each other - dealing in different ways with the same "mythology" that runs through them - like world-building on a small, personal, do-it-yourself scale.. not without flaws and shortcomings - but the sheer individual-ness of these have me hoping to be able to track down some more of them.. Biggest gripe with Let's Not Meet In The Woods: the too-brief scene on the boardwalk of what looked to be a favorite Jersey Shore beach town of mine left me wanting to see more of it - but they promptly went and split for woods of the title instead..
