The actual film starts with a voice over that seemed to be either reading a story or recollecting on old memories. The film the lonely wood follows Richard and Dave when they read an old newspaper article which describes the mystery of the lonely wood by which their local wood has been named by the local population. They journey into the wood and venture away from the safety of the tourist trail which directs their trail into the realm of the demented figure who has made its home in this secluded part of the woods and likes being separated from the rest of the world and doesn’t like strangers and starts to chase Richard and Dave as they try to escape from the figure. Richard has forgotten which way they came to this area of the forest from and decided just to run as quick as possible Dave follows behind him assuming he knows the way out of the wood.
The two adventurers then they find and short tunnel which cuts under a passing set of train tracks. They get to the end of the tunnel and the figure is in front of them, this is designed to scare the audience. Dave then disappears the figure starts to laugh and Richard doubles back and get back to the other side of the tunnel and run back through the woods looking for the tourist trail and this sequence of the film ends with the figure him near by with Richard having a shocked expression like he just found out a crucial bit of information which he would not have thought possible . This is designed to keep the audience watching and to isolate them from one and another.
Voice over explains that figure was not what the reader had thought it was, or possibly it was until Dave disappeared.
Richard then runs back onto the tourist track and keeps running and unlike he thought the figure keeps chasing like all of a sudden it is not afraid of the track as it had been before. This seemed a very strange event this brings a higher level of fear to an audience and makes them wonder how the figures instincts were broken it was almost as though the figures entire personality had changed. Richard gets into a clearing in the middle of the wood and he notices that the figure seems reluctant to head into the open light. It seemed almost as if the figure was scared of the light. As the figure tried to venture into the light it quickly ran back into the cover of the trees. This gave Richard a worrying possibility what if this figure just waited for night fall so Richard continued to run and the figure started to run around to catch up to him Richard ran as fast as he could to keep as far ahead of the figure as he could hoping that once he got back to the open world that he would be able to outwit the figure.
Then eventually Richard reaches the exit of the wood and annoyingly the figure has somehow managed to cut ahead of him and Richard looks behind himself and sees a second figure and begins to wonder how many of these figures are there and he thinks back to the newspaper and the amount of disappearances occurred over the years what if the people became these figures. At this point the film ends with the line there is no escape, along with a secondary line stating as the voice over there is always an escape.
