sbmocnod I admit I like low-budget horror movies with low-key fright and a cast of unknowns, except for the great Zahn McClarnon, who takes his intense Native American role from 'Longmire' to a darker level. Just be sure to stick around for the final credits. The song performed behind them, 'Stoneback Ridge,' is alone worth the price of admission. When is this instant classic going to be available as an MP3?
vengeance20 I bought this on DVD awhile back, 2013 time & never got round to watching it, though bought it as it stated it was a horror & looked good, it reminded me of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever (which is a sh!t load better than this film & I'll explain why further down...) & so I bought it & had it on my shelf for 2-3 years before getting round to watching!Well & wow... where to start... well uh... nothing happened!!! Literally!!! 94 minutes of a 2 guys 1 of which is a base head & the other which is an annoying sh!t helping his druggie pal on the road to a new as he tries to get him of the drugs! That's it! For 94 minutes, with... Drum Roll... Fillers! Yes! Fillers of a couple of the druggies friends, some cash exchanging/threats, weird bits of footage with disturbing visuals via cassettes/records/film reels & last but not least, the druggies friends walking through the wilderness! Wow! That's it!I'd say perhaps the biggest insult is how highly it's rated! Aside from idiot reviewers on this site & others who must've been drunk or stoned while watching this, or have never watch it at all! It also proves for the 2nd time this year that RT is as fake as a pair of porn stars t!tties! It has it as 100% on that website! It really is infuriating as the reviews on here, there & everywhere are fake! Fake!!! How this piece of crap can be rated highly, let alone 100% is beyond me! Why lie is my question!? Either people have been paid a lorry load of £££ or they, like I said, where hammered & or stoned! Even this year as I'm writing it's 100% & the other insult, it was also marketed as a horror! There was f*#k all Horror in it! Not to mention how it stated on the box it was what Cabin Fever should've been! Wow! Just wow!I just simply don't get why a lot of people like this sh!te! It's just hair rippingly annoying! It was just like a plane that wouldn't or should I say couldn't take off! Every time something happened like the guy finding a piece of evidence with footage on it never came to anything! It was a jumble up mess as their was no real story-line going on! What was the story!? What was the footage!? What was it!? What was the point!? Damn!! I mean there was nothing even remotely interesting about this film it simply made no sense whatsoever! There was no point at all & there was loads of questions & plot holes! I think it is safe to say the reviews are fake! I'm sure of it as I simply cannot see whats so good about this tangled mess of a film that makes 0 sense!The ending was the only great bit...! Because it ended! Yes this film finally ended though the ending was as crap as the film it wasn't surprising though again, it didn't explain sh!t! Even as the film began it seemed to rattle on for 20 minutes until I found that for the next hour & a half it was going to be nothing more than gob sh!te dialogue & stupid filler clips! This would've been better as a short film & a thriller with a good few tweaks here & there! 94 is both an insult & a OTT joke! I mean I was yawning & bored sh!tless it was just astonishing! I give this joke of a film 1/10! It falls flat on it's face from the get go & pretty much goes absolutely nowhere with nearly every attempt being made to pick up get going! It's as if they're using their "mistakes" or stock/b-roll footage attempts as fillers to make the feature longer & pretty much, to include them in the finished film alone is just stupid! Not to mention the reason why it made f*#k all sense throughout! Never seeing it again! Don't waste you time! Watch Cabin Fever instead, it sh!tes all over this pathetic wannabe piece of sh!te!
MikesIDhasbeentaken I think anyone reading these reviews that hasn't seen this yet should just watch it.It's different, it's strange, and the ending is... bizarre?it's so different from other movies that it's worth watching, a budget film that has an original idea, you'll question whats going on while you watch but the end is a proper 'what the...?!!' moment that doesn't seem to make sense, and so you try to make sense of it, and think about it for a long time...It's not action packed, but it'c clever enough to keep you going along with it, and i think it really underrated looking at the reviews,
lathe-of-heaven Wow... this was definitely very different. I personally found the concept EXTREMELY intriguing and quite clever. As noted by some in the reviews here, many can easily be left feeling a strong sense of vagueness and confusion about whatever is truly happening. If that kind of thing really drives you up a wall, then this movie is definitely not for you.I was surprised to learn that they used a Red One digital camera. Normally that camera captures an extremely sharp, detailed image, but not here... I'm sure that there must have been some deliberate manipulation involved to make it look more 'Realistic'I REALLY liked the movie very much. That I can say with complete certainty. However, I'm finding it quite difficult to write a review for it in such a way that I HOPE actually HELPS others get a sense of what kind of film it is and hopefully help them determine whether they want to spend their time watching it. This is a tough one. I WILL say that there is a DEFINITE Indie feel to the film. You probably would really have to like Indie films in general to enjoy this one. Now, to try to make that more clear... Overall, the movie has a sense of something odd happening. The SEEMING premise of one friend helping another friend to get off of drugs is really only a backdrop or a setting for the different strange phenomena that is going on around them. The good news is that while all this weird, inexplicable stuff is happening, there are a number of truly excellent dialog exchanges that I found quite amusing and interesting. To me, the film makers CLEARLY have a strong grasp on writing a film and the dialog. I guess other than the odd stuff going on around them, I would have to say that the dialog and interaction between the two main characters is probably the strongest part of the film. BUT... with that said, still... I REALLY dug the creepy vibe and TOTALLY unexplainable things that were happening to them. There was nothing really horrific or overt, but what I liked myself was how they interjected these tiny, little teases at the audience to give them vague, and I mean VAGUE ideas as to the possibilities of what was going on. I REALLY liked the French guy in the trailer; I was ABSOLUTELY fascinated with his performance and manner. I don't want to say too much, but I did find the little, teasing tidbits and ESPECIALLY the mention of a particular famous and significant name in a 'research' journal that they found (in French at that, but you STILL recognize the name) along with other odd possible angles presented throughout the story, truly fascinating...I just found the whole bloody thing INTRIGUING. I absolutely LOVE when clever thought and imagination goes into stories like this, particularly in 'Horror' films. And I REALLY like movies the either bend 'Reality' or your mind, whichever happens to be the case. I freak'n LOVE ones like that! ('SESSION 9' anyone...?)So, for me personally, this was completely and totally my kind of film. BUT... I can fully understand how many here just found it boring, bland, vague, inexplicable, and stated that 'Nothing really happens' But in this movie, the 'vague' & 'inexplicable' part is kind of the point...This is a ***VERY*** difficult film to review (not meaning to give myself an excuse if my review happens to suck :) but, I really think that in order to be able to enjoy this movie, you HAVE to be the kind of person who, number one, REALLY is grabbed by a Mystery, no matter how vague or unexplained it is, AND... I think you have to be the kind of person who can appreciate a 'Horror' film where really not much Horror actually happens, but where a decidedly Creepy and Unsettling WTF mood is definitely the main part of the story.
