“Black Wood” (** out of four) was a scattershot Western about a Native American woman (Tanajsia Slaughter) who escapes a notorious gang (led by Bates Wilder) by running into the forbidden Black Wood Forest; they initially pursue her but once inside realize they have to band together to survive after they awaken an ancient ravenous creature that threatens to consume them all. Attempt to cross-pollinate a Western with a monster suspense story doesn’t congeal although film moves sturdily and remains watchable. Not likely to satisfy fans of either genre but far from the worst of its ilk.
