Reception

edit

The Schlock Pit said the film "might have a derivate aspect to it, but you’ve got to admire the sheer gall of its production designer for positioning a VHS cassette of Home Alone next to the TV in one shot. Besides, you’d really have to be a humourless old fart to not have your chuckle muscle tickled at least once in this picture."[1]

TV Guide wrote, "It's been posited that the folks at New Horizons purge themselves after grinding out much lewd and violent dreck for the direct-to-video market by making harmless children's features, almost as a form of therapy. To judge from Alone in the Woods a whole lot of purging went on."[2]
