Woensdag is a 2005 horror film written and directed by Bob Embregts and Jean-Paul Arends.

Plot

Eight people are chosen to compete on Camp Slasher, a new horror-themed game show in which the contestants must complete challenges while trying to avoid a masked killer, one who is based on a local urban legend. Unbeknownst to the cast and crew of the show, an actual homicidal maniac resides in the woods where they have decided to shoot, and after massacring the program's behind-the-scenes personnel, he sets his sights on the competitors.

Reception

Bloody Disgusting praised the gore, criticized the screenplay and acting, and gave the film a 3/5, writing, "Woensdag may not be a great movie but it sure is entertaining and it being a relatively short movie (75 minutes) helps keep the pace and our attention up". [1] A 2/5 was awarded by Slasherpool, which summed Woensdag up with, "Disappointing slasher flick from the Netherlands which won't likely impress anyone who lives outside Holland. It's a very dull slasher and the concept has been done to death in several, much better flicks. It doesn't help that it's almost impossible to see what was going on for most of the movie either". [2] The acting, dialogue, story, and production values were panned by Neerlands Filmdoek, which gave Woensdag a 1½, but conceded, "Nevertheless, there is still something to enjoy for lovers who have no objection to these shortcomings; the film is never boring and has enough amusing horror moments, fitted with the necessary gore". [3]
