**Personal Insights: **
The movie was made with the found-footage style of film technique similar to that of ‘The Blair Witch Project’. The movie is again about northern Minnesota, its mysterious and secluded forests, intrigues and creates more suspense.
Since then, the film has earned recognition, but it has received a mixed reception in viewership, some inquiry the tension and atmosphere, others the narrative.
Cultural Significance:
The film addresses the issues of contemporary digital culture: the fanatical addiction to content and self marketing that leads people to seek fame on the internet. By focusing the story on a logged in person, it criticizes the policy of letting people go viral in order to succeed for its dangers. Furthermore, this genre’s specific style enables the filmmakers to make a statement about social media and performance in the 21st century.
If you are a fan of independent horror films which discuss modern issues, then “Beyond the North Woods” is an interesting film that intrigues the audience with a story set in a bleak Minnesota forest.
