SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Michael O'Keefe This thriller is directed by Katie Aselton, who also is responsible for the storyline and stars as one of three friends having a weekend getaway on a island off the the coast of Maine. Black Rock is supposed to supply relaxation and some privacy as the young women get together for the first time in a long time. Aselton plays Abby, Lake Bell is Lou and Kate Bosworth plays Sarah. Two are a bit reluctant, but soon get some of their differences behind them. Thinking they were alone, the girls are set back when they are interrupted by three local hunters. Heck, why not share the island and have a few drinks around a campfire. The mood changes as some heavy flirting causes the situation to get very bad. The three hunters are actually buddies kicked out of the military and they have no good on their minds. Very soon the night becomes a panic filled night of terror as the girls find themselves fighting for their survival. Yes, the fight is a bit gory, brutal and very graphic. The vicious hunters are played by: Will Bouvier, Jay Paulson and Anslem Richardson.Strong violence, raw language and partial nudity with sexual references earns BLACK ROCK an R rating. Nothing real redeeming, but throw back a few and watch some nice looking girls fear for their life.

stephenbwickham Everybody associated with this movie should be ashamed. I've never served in the military, and this film still made me sick. Feminists vs returning vets. Guess who the bad guys are. I'll NEVER watch another film with any of these people in it. The premise is stupid. Thea actors are lame. The plot is predictable Hollywood bullshit. I'm having trouble writing ten lines about just how offensive this movie is. If you, or anybody in your family, or anybody you know has ever served in the military, do NOT watch this movie. It will only infuriate you. How sad that this is how Americans want to portray those who defend us. Two naked girls running through the woods trying to defend themselves from returning war vets and working out all their drama queen bullsh@t differences in about 20 seconds along the way. Disgusting. Shame on you all.

Tss5078 Black Rock is one of those rare films that was written by, directed by, and starring the same person. Back in the early days of film, this was common, but today it's rare. While I admire all the work a single person puts into such an effort, the truth is that most of these films turn out to be a little strange, Black Rock is no exception. Three life long best friends decide to reconnect on a weekend retreat, to a small secluded island, where they had a lot of childhood memories. Once there, they run into a pack of hunters. Testosterone and alcohol mix, leading to a vicious assault, leaving one group a member short, and the other group on the run. Katie Aselton is the Writer, Director, & star of this film and while I admire what she put into it, the truth is that it was very predictable and didn't make a whole lot of sense. First of all, these three women, as children were allowed to play on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere, without supervision? It also doesn't make sense that the hunters would be there, when there was seemingly no wildlife, and of course there had to be exactly three of them. Finally, why did three women, spending a weekend alone on a secluded island, bring enough alcohol to fuel a Todd Phillips movie? The whole thing was just a little too weird to be believable, and when you add how predictable this film was, it's just a recipe for disaster. The one thing I liked was the performance of Jay Paulson. He's usually a guy who gets bit parts and guest appearances here and there, but he was very solid and the most believable of the six characters. Aside from that this is a slow, painfully predictable, mess of a film, that really doesn't have a whole lot going for it.

rchoyle When I began watching this movie I had some relatively high expectations as these type of indie movies about outdoor survival really appeal to me and for the most part, I have enjoyed either found most of these movies average or better than average but nothing really worth remembering until I watched this one! I usually only review movies that are either above my expectations and I really loved it or if they are surprisingly awful as this one was unfortunately. Starts off with a good premise and drew me in wanting more until I got to know the female characters and to me they were obnoxious characters and I found myself rooting for the " bad guys" which is something I rarely do and I'm especially am a sucker for a pretty face, or three in this case but I could not watch the female characters anymore and I couldn't even make it to the end of the movie. I couldn't change channels fast enough. I cannot pinpoint anything that made me hate them, it's just a feeling that manifested itself from the start. I wonder if anyone else will be hating on these women and want the bad guys to kill them?? I know I did!! I can say this, if it wasn't for how their character was poorly portrayed, I may have found myself liking this flick but I couldn't get past the women!!
