Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

bowmanblue Okay, so the premise is as old as the hills in horror movie history - girl-on-her-own gets lost in unknown territory and ends up being either hunted and/or captured by the locals.And there is nothing new here in Rogue River. However, I actually found I enjoyed (most) of it - which is more than I normally enjoy of this type of clichéd horror film.First of all, when you watch these movies, you normally ask yourself the question: What would I do in this situation? If you see the heroine running away from the killer when she could have just put a bullet in his head then you begin to lose interest and start to hate it due to its obvious lack of realism. At least in Rogue River, the heroine isn't completely stupid. She does make logical decisions and does her best to escape. Therefore I found it watchable and wasn't shouting instructions at my TV screen.All in all, it's worth a watch if you feel you can sit through another film like this.It's only real drawback was the ending. I won't say too much about it for fear of spoiling it, but, in my opinion, there were 'questionable' decisions made by the writers which I felt wouldn't have happened in real life. But, despite that, I did enjoy most of the film which, as I've said, is more than I normally do of films with such 'been-there/done-that' plots.

churches1234 This movie has been given mostly bad reviews for being too disturbing, however I think that it is that shock-factor that makes it such a creative and well put together movie.I really enjoyed this movie, as it has the common plot of a stranded person who gets a ride with a stranger, however it also has really good twists and turns along the way and you are left guessing right up to the very last moments. The ending is really well constructed and will shock viewers. However there are certain aspects of the film that I found disturbing and I found the ending a little unexpected and it changed my view of the film a bit. I would recommend this movie to people who enjoyed the human centipede and movies such as that, and I would also recommend Wolf Creek to viewers who enjoyed this movie, it is not the same plot, but is a really good movie and there is also a sequel to it, which is also worth viewing.

Christine_Plymouth_Fury1958 I try not to compare films with others and just watch it based on its own merit. Having said that, I thought the film was not as bad as most reviews made it out to be. The story had potential and the actors were quite convincing in their role.What lacked for me was the lead actress not being able to connect with the audience. I think one of the most important things that a protagonist has to do is to be able to establish some sort of rapport with the people watching the film, and this is something she failed to do with me. I thought most of her decisions were quite questionable, though I did like the ending.On its own, the story lacked some character developments and seemed to be "hurried", as if the writer wanted to get into the "action" real quick. The result was that the suspense did not build enough to put me at the edge of my seat, so to speak. There were a lot of instances for this, but the writer and director failed to deliver on this aspect.The cinematography is good though. Scenes were clear and the shots complimented the entire movie.All in all, it's an okay movie to watch if there's nothing else, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to friends.

Flow The horror indeed! Rogue River would have been rather interesting, if only..there wasn't already another movie with basically the same plot! Basically... at least 90% identically, no questions asked! Anyone remembers Timber Falls? Come on really, what was the point of this one? It is not better made, doesn't have more thrills, has the same location but it does manage to bring a whole lot more plot holes! Easy to anticipate, boring and annoying!So, if you haven't seen Timber Falls and you are just dying to get a look at this one instead, here is one good reason why not to do it: BECAUSE "TIMBER FALLS" IS ACTUALLY GOOD!It really is quite shameful, almost a shot-by-shot copy this Rogue River, i mean really, can't they at least pretend to think of an original story? Or maybe take one that is already out there, but bend it a little, add something to it, not make a "little baby sister that COULDN'T"!Therefore, my advice, if you want to see a horror and you find Rogue River's story interesting, make one giant step and take on Timber Falls instead. You will thank me later, trust me! Enjoy!
