AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
AverageJoesDriveInPodcast This is a decent film. There's not a whole lot that's memorable about it, but it's not terrible by any means. There's a good chemistry between the two lead actresses and the actor who plays the son holds his own. There are a few moments of decent tension throughout, but nothing that really made me jump or put me on edge. Depending on who the viewing audience is, I think it could be rather effective. I liked the fact it didn't follow all the standard tropes you might expect something like this to fall into. That was a pleasant surprise for me. The movie moves along at a good pace and the short runtime is actually to its benefit. I think any longer and there would have been too many 'hurry up and get moving' moments.It seems this was done on a lower budget and there are times when it's obvious, but it doesn't affect the story so I can give it a pass when it comes to those moments. I'll warn you if you're a gore hound and looking for a lot of gore, this film has next to none. If you're looking for everything to be telegraphed and laid out for you, you may not enjoy it. There's a lot left up to the viewers to figure out and piece together. But, it's a horror/thriller and I personally don't really need everything explained, I can just go with it. I know that's not the case for everyone. So, be warned, if you're that type of viewer, you might want to skip it.
menemshaman-496-447522 I figured I'd give this movie a shot. Three words...waste of time. Sort of formulaic with a twist. If a weirdo is following you in the woods, why be so nonchalant about it. Head for home....quickly!!
Loveunderlaw This movie was like a mish mash of Fight Club combined with Hal Holbrook's famed "Rituals" from the old days.The son accepted death dealing brutality upon someone evil that killed an innocent family friend, so he & the mother could make it out of there alive. As time goes by audiences will reject the falsity of the P.C. movement IMO & embrace the cold harsh reality of the real World once more.
Casegal-823-987438 I mean seriously how boring is it to have a man following you around and by the end you have no clue what his real purpose was in the movie. Waste of time I can never get back. It was free on Netflix. Which to me Netflix has gone down hill with stupid movies and shows.
