Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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;

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Roedy Green Castle Rock opens with a juvenile delinquent daughter. She is so rude, self-centred and obnoxious, you find yourself hoping she gets eaten by a bear in the first reel. Her mother is a harpy and her grandfather is a bully. The carping goes on and on. I could barely stand the movie. Was this rudeness supposed to be amusing? Then finally some relief, there developed an unrelated back-story about a handsome illegal Guatemalan teen on the lam.The basic story requires the girl to walk home 12 miles through the desert, gradually coming meet, then trust, rely on and even help the Guatemalan boy.Though you hear rabid coyotes, you never see them. The perils are getting lost, medical, gangrene, snake bite, lack of food and water. There is no sudden adrenal rush, just slow feeling of increasing distress and doom. The boy limps, screams, yelps and suffers and suffers and suffers. It is quite distressing watching him and studying and attempting to treat his infected wound.The ordeal gradually transforms the girl, beating the selfishness out of her. Oddly there is no romantic attachment. By the end she became a completely reasonable and kind person.This is not a movie for small children. There are two tear-jerker deaths and protracted suffering.In one scene, a German shepherd runs off then comes back wounded. The pair presume the dog has rabies. To my eyes, the dog just wanted to be patted, but the pair were terrified and scrambled to get away. Everyone seems to assume the dog is rabid, even though it looks perfectly normal and behaves normally. The movie makers could have done something to at least make the dog growl, froth, or stagger. Even with the technology available back in the day of "To Kill A Mockingbird", they produced a completely convincing rabid dog.The end of the movie has two out-of-the-blue surprise happy endings. One of them caps the transform of the girl's dropping selfishness. It gives you a very happy buzz.

sublimea *some spoilers*If you want a good laugh, see this terrible "movie". It doesn't even deserve the title. I think the funniest part is where Ernest Borgnine appears in a hallucination. I never thought I'd hear him yelling at me "Dog gone it, climb up higher". It made me wanna climb like never before. Seriously, it's so bad it's funny. I don't know if anyone else heard this but there seemed to be a really bad echo for about half an hour during the movie, after the truck drives away in a hurry. I think the sound engineer used a tin can to record. Really funny material.Ah yes, stay away from those sand dunes. They can really tear through your jeans and cut you open like butter.

izzy-19 This girl goes through the worst weekend ever. It is comical the number of things that happen to her in two day's time.I was in fear of watching this. I more or less had to. I actually found myself drawn in. By no means do I think this was great. I'm just saying that if there is nothing else on or you have nothing else to do, you could do worse than this movie.If all else fails, the lead actress is easy on the eyes.
