Girl in Woods 2016 3 out of  10

Girl in Woods is a psychological horror film about a girl named Grace that ends up lost and alone in the mountains after a tragic accident where her finance accidentally shots himself......or does he?  Grace's struggle is not only in being lost in the forest, but also mentally in dealing with demons from past tramatic events.    Much like the movie Oculus (which I recently watched) this film is a journey into madness.   The movie flips around between present and past events and the viewer is left with no idea of what is real and what isn't.  It could have been a more interesting movie- but instead it becomes dull after ahwile.  Not only is the main character of the story lost in the woods- but unfortunately the viewer is lost as well.  

What is real?  What is just her imagination?   It is all blurred to the point that by the end I just didn't care.  Unlike Oculus which had an interesting premise that made you want to know more, this movie just made me want it to end.  The acting itself was good --but the plot was just underwhelming at best.

Top 25 Sci-Fi TV Shows Countdown: # 4 Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Number 4   Buffy the Vampire Slayer  1997-2003

A great cast and a great series.  This Joss Whedon creation  brought wit and humor to killing vampires and demons on a weekly basis.  This is the 4th Whedon show to make my countdown and my personal favorite.  The adventures of Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Xander, Willow and Giles saving Sunnydale each week was a true treat.  Whedon crafted a great mythology which eventually spun off 2 of its characters into the also excellent  Angel  starring (David Boreanaz and Charisma Carpenter).  Buffy did what a lot of other good mythology shows didn't,  it paid off on everything it teased.  Whedon created story arcs and then delivered on those arcs on a regular basis, unlike X-Files and LOST which just kept stringing the viewers along with tease after tease in their mythologies.  As far as I'm concerned Buffy is a perfect example of how a sci-fi mythology should be done and I'll be there for any Whedon show in the future.   The writing was witty and creative and you ended up liking and enjoying both heroes and villains alike.  The character of Spike went from being a villain to a good guy and that is a testament to the great writing the show had.  

Top 25 Sci-Fi TV Shows Countdown: # 13 Angel

Number #13  Angel 1999-2004

Angel was a spin off series from Buffy The Vampire Slayer featuring  characters established in Buffy of Angel (played by David Boreanaz) and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter).  It follows Angel's move to Los Angeles where he becomes a detective in the Los Angeles underground dealing with supernatural cases and protecting the innocent. The show was basically about Angel (the Vampire with a soul) doing good to make up for all the bad he had done before as a form of redemption. 

 Angel was quailty show with some  really great episodes once it found its groove.   The mythology like the mythology on Buffy was strong and the show always paid off on the story arcs that it teased.
