She Came From the Woods

Erik Bloomquist’s Tubi Original SHE CAME FROM THE WOODS (2022, Tubi) generates a burst of goodwill at the start, only to squander it later one. It’s closing day at Camp Briarwood in 1987, and you get all the standard tropes of a teen sex comedy — the ne’er-do-well (Spencer List) on an endless gap year, the over-aged counselor/horndog (Matthew McConnau…I mean, Adam Weppler), the lovelorn counselor (Bloomquist) trying to get up the nerve to make a move on the girl he’s been crushing on all summer. Most of it is old hat, but it’s well performed and energetic enough to keep you involved. There’s also a gay drama coach (Dan Leahy), some funny theater jokes, and a very funny bit with the owner (William Sadler) trying to lead the campers in singing taps with a young bugler who can’t quite stay in the same key.

Then List gets the counselors to perform a ritual to summon Agatha, the camp nurse driven out for practicing witchcraft four decades ago. Given the comic spirit prior to that, we’re prepared for tongue-in-cheek horror. But things don’t get scary. They just get ugly. They also, as in too many films, get rather stupid. People make inane choices, and at one point List blames his family for not telling him the whole truth about Agatha…and they apologize, because they obviously should have realized that with all the info at hand he would have suddenly grown up and not wanted to kid around summoning the demon nurse.

I’d be tempted to say calling this a horror comedy was just bad marketing on Tubi’s part, but after the resolution, we suddenly start making jokes again. There is one decent scare. After List’s mother (Cara Buono) tells the counselors not to go anywhere alone, List’s girlfriend (Clare Foley) goes into an attic for first-aid supplies (because that’s the logical place to store them at a summer camp, since young campers would never need them right away or anything). As she walks past a foosball table, the players start moving on their own. It’s creepy, and it leads absolutely nowhere.

This is all a pity because a) the film is otherwise professionally shot and edited and b) it has a good cast. Most of the young actors know what they’re doing, and you have reliable older players like Buono, Sadler and Michael Park, as a police officer who was a camper there when Agatha first turned up. They perform the serious stuff with full conviction, but ultimately the script does them dirt.

The Fugitive Doctor flies again

Jo Martin and Alice Krige star in The Fugitive Doctor: Dead or Alive, a brilliant box set of full-cast audio drama, due in July 2025 from Big Finish Productions. 

Still on the run from her old employers, the sinister Time Lord agency known as the Division, the Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin) embarks upon three thrilling new adventures across time and space in the forthcoming box set Dead or Alive. 

Along the way, she’ll come to the aid of a Spitfire pilot lost in the vortex, crash into a junkyard of dead time machines, and face off against a vampire queen. But what will she do when her dogged pursuer Cosmogon (Alice Krige, known for her role in the Star Trek franchise) finally catches up with her? 

Doctor Who – The Fugitive Doctor: Dead or Alive is now available to pre-order for just £22.99 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £18.99 (download only), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed. 

The three exciting new adventures for the Fugitive Doctor are: 

Flying Solo by Tajinder Singh Hayer 

Pilot Officer Mohinder Singh Johal is an RAF pilot on a sortie during World War Two. Following a close encounter with a flying blue telephone box, his Spitfire vanishes! 

The Doctor, whose TARDIS is out of control following a blast from a time disruptor, should be keeping a low profile, but with Mohinder lost in time and space, she has to help bring him home. 

The Junkyard Loop by Aaron Douglas 

The Doctor, pursued as ever by Cosmogon, crash-lands the TARDIS on an off-grid junk planet littered with the remains of time machines from a thousand civilisations. 

After being saved from the indigenous Time-Frost Parasites by Sodalis, an old companion long-marooned, the Doctor must come up with a plan to save them both. But a sinister Division commander has tracked our heroes, and not even Cosmogon can stand between him and his desire to unlock the Doctor’s memory and obtain the secrets within. 

Hereafter by Tim Foley 

Cosmo has finally captured the Doctor! But they’re stranded together on a planet thanks to an unusual psychic forcefield grounding her ship. 

Tracing its source, they find a settlement that’s preparing for a festival in honour of their ‘queen’ in the mountain. 

When Cosmo is captured, the Doctor must decide whether to help her captor... especially now she’s discovered, thanks to local woman Herma, that the queen and her minions are vampires! 

The Fugitive Doctor: Dead or Alive has a guest cast including Raj Ghatak (Dead Set) as RAF pilot Mohinder Johal and John Dorney as Alexander the Great (reprising the role from the Lost Stories release Farewell, Great Macedon), as well as Terence Wilton (Doctor Who: Invasion of the Dinosaurs), Alexander Vlahos (The Confessions of Dorian Gray), and Clare Perkins (The Outlaws, Doctor Who: Redacted). 

Producer David Richardson said: “The distinct tone of the Fugitive Doctor stories is crystallised in this second box set. The Doctor is still on the run from her Division pursuer Cosmo, and caught up in events she crashes into – I certainly don’t think the energy and emotional highs of Tajinder Singh Hayer’s phenomenal Flying Solo would fit into any other Doctor Who range. 

“And John Dorney pops back as Alexander the Great – we had brilliant fun exploring a little thematic link to Farewell, Great Macedon in the Lost Stories range. Aaron Douglas’s The Junkyard Loop is wildly imaginatively bonkers, while Hereafter digs in deep in terms of character exploration. Of course it does – it’s by the legendary Tim Foley!” 

Big Finish listeners can pre-order Dead or Alive in a bundle with the previous Fugitive Doctor box set, Most Wanted, which was released in January, for just £36 (download only), exclusively here. 

All the above prices (including pre-order and multibuy bundle discounts) are fixed for a limited time only and guaranteed no later than 30 September 2025. 

Please note that Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.

-- FINALLY! Big Finish have released details regarding the second Fugitive Doctor boxset!

For the book ask: 5 and 17

5. What genre did you read the most of?

Aside from fantasy, probably the category I call historical/classic. Things that are either set in the past, or were contemporary when they were written and are now historical to us.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

As far as indie books go, I was surprised by how much I ended up loving the fairy tale atmosphere and plotting of Yours, Constance by Emily Hayse. I was also surprised by how much I was pulled into the fairy tale atmosphere of The Swan King by Nina Clare. The depth of worldbuilding and some of the character relationships in The Painted Queen by Monica Boothe and Chase the Legend by Hannah Kaye surprised me. And I was surprised that the slow start by Land of Hills and Valleys by Elizabeth Grace Foley was setting up an unexpectedly twisty plot.
