Reception

Critical response

Dakota Dahl of Rue Morgue praised the film's music and the "unnatural on purpose" performances of Raven and Blakely, but referred to Hindle as "brutally under utilized".[2] Dahl lamented the film as being "slow and weird for weirdness sake, in a way that is neither thoughtful nor rewarding"; comparing it unfavourably to surrealist films by David Lynch, Dahl wrote that, unlike Lynch's works, Woodland Grey "doesn't seem to have that original vision, instead opting to provide clues and red herrings that point to multiple conclusions, while really sticking the landing with none of them."[2]
