User Reviews

Enclosure: I see what they were going for, they just didn't do it very well

I don't know what it is about the cover poster but because of it I was actually quite looking forward to this.

Enclosure otherwise known as The Arbor Demon is yet another forest set horror movie which actually has an interesting plot, but is ruined by poor pacing and weak delivery.

Starring the real spawn of Chucky (Fiona Dourif) and erm the spawn of the Gingerdead Man? (Jake Busey) it tells the story of a couple who go camping in the woods but witness the local rednecks come under attack from a mysterious creature and they may be next!

It's all pretty cliched stuff that though it all comes together at the end, by that point it's all so very late.

Nice ideas but ultimately the Arbor Demon is more than slightly on the boring side.

The Good:

Great cover

Decent finale

The Bad:

Very dull

Pacing issues

Poorly made

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Ms Dourif does not have an ounce of the talent of her father
