Movies like Don't Go in the Woods

Don't Go in the Woods... Alone! (also known as Don't Go in the Woods) is a 1981 American slasher film directed by James Bryan and written by Garth Eliassen. The film follows four campers confronted by a murderous woodsman slaying hikers on a wooded mountainside. It is one of the infamous "video nasties" banned in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.

A frightened woman is running down a small stream when an unseen assailant murders her. Soon after, a bird watcher is also murdered. Meanwhile, four friends (Peter, Joanne, Ingrid, and Craig) are trekking through the nearby wilderness. Unbeknownst to them, another tourist gets thrown over a waterfall—landing near some oblivious frolickers and his mother is wounded and dragged away. The four backpackers set up camp for the night. Elsewhere, a pair of honeymooners named Dick and Cherry get attacked. Dick is murdered when he exits the van to investigate a noise. Cherry, now paranoid, arms herself with a small bust. The killer throws Dick's body against one of the windows and starts to rock the van back and forth, tumbling it down a small hill where it catches on fire with Cherry still inside. The next day, the two couples continue their hike; meanwhile, the killer stabs an artist painting a scenic view to death and kidnaps her young daughter.
