Reviews:
“The film moves at a lackadaisical pace during the first act. Shady Grove is obviously building to something, but it is in no hurry to get there. By the time the first kill occurs, almost an hour has passed. This means the plot speeds up dramatically during its second half. While there are a couple of things that carry over from the beginning, much of what happens feels unearned.” AIPT
“Clearly made on a low budget, Shady Grove looks pretty rough, but it delivers enough gore to please a certain sort of horror fan and it keeps the pace reasonably well. Whilst its premise is dubious in a modern setting for many reasons, even in a country with a shockingly low homicide detection rate, director Dale Resteghini makes it work well enough to entertain for an hour and a half.” Eye for Film
“The action is stunningly static, the murders something of an afterthought and the logic illogical, starting with the “smores” campfire party being set in broad daylight. And the slaughter, when it finally starts in earnest, is by the book and dull and features the fakest looking blood this side of Heinz 57.” 1 out of 4, Movie Nation
