GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Becky Sagona This movie seemingly has multiple personalities. It tries to be funny or horrific, though never at the same time. The "horror scenes" are pretty good, frightening even. The menacing kidnapper is believable, as are his hostages. The "comedic scenes" are just fillers to occupy space. It seems to have separate story lines, twisting within the main selling point. The lack of typical horror tricks, like lots of gore and weapons, brings a certain anxiety that makes this film a thriller. Most of the acting is terrible, yet if you're a true movie enthusiast, you'll endure the obvious "b movie" atmosphere. The plot isn't a bad idea, the production of it is. I won't advise against seeing it, I'll just advise not to get your hopes up. Though obviously entertaining, some of its scenes are hard to watch, due to realistic subject matter or the obvious terror of horrible acting.
lisainphilly I was lucky enough to see this at an advanced screening. I didn't know who Christian Grillo was or what he was about, but after watching this film, I'll be sure and check out anything else he makes.This film is so deeply disturbing. (and I mean that as a compliment) It kept me on the edge of my seat. There are parts where I covered my face because I couldn't bear to watch, but then peeked through my fingers because I couldn't keep from looking. I loved the pace, it kept moving forward, not even a lag in the story long enough to go get a soda. You're never really sure what's going to happen next, and as the story unfolds, it just gets creepier and creepier. I found myself thinking about the characters in this film, and the situations, for days after seeing the film. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes a good horror or thriller. I don't know why there are a few really negative reviews. Were we all watching the same film? I can't help but notice that the negative reviewers use a lot of British vernacular, (gobsmacked, rubbish, etc.) so I don't know if those two or three reviews were written by the same guy. I certainly couldn't tell it was a low budget, except for maybe a brief fire scene where the fire seemed a little green screen-ish. aside from that I have only positive things to say about it. Thinking there maybe room for a sequel and I'll be first in line to see what happens next.
Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie This movie was very low budget, and it shows. The acting was mediocre (even the appearances from Doug Bradley and Ernie Hudson couldn't save it) and the camera work was below average too. Some of the scenes seemed disjointed and the plot was all over the place. As for the story itself, yeah it had it's moments but I felt that the script was written in a hurry as it didn't flow at all. I also felt that the editing could have been better too as the film was too long, (some of the scenes could have been shorter) it could have been cut down to 85 minutes or so instead of the tedious 102 minutes that it ended up as. In the end I couldn't wait until it was over. So all I can give this film is a 2 out of 10 (only because I liked Doug Bradley in this).
chanedogg42 Deer Crossing had to be the best Horror film I have seen in a while. I will watch this movie over and over. The acting was very good also. Great cast. The plot was amazing as ever since I seen the trailer for Deer Crossing, every time i see a deer on the side of the road I get scared. This movie is way better than any of these other so called Horror movies today. I am not a big horror buff but I can say that Deer Crossing has changed my mind about the whole Genre of Horror and Suspense. I love the way this movie starts out with the great line "EAT THE F'ING POTATOES." I will recommend this and other Grillo movies to everyone I know. This is a movie for the ages. And Jonathan Patrick Hughes as Chris played a great Role.
