geoffrey_bellamy This really is a truly awful film. Girls go camping together in completely inappropriate clothing, so one is warned this is going to go badly wrong. Sadistic, gratuitous violence seems to be glorified with no plot justification, other than the glorification of gratuitous violence. This really dredges the deepest pits of human depravity, supposedly in the name of entertainment, as there is no moral compass in this film whatever, it is sickeningly depraved, though well shot and with plenty of tension, but tension only caused by the incipient nastiness which runs virtually throughout. Best avoided at all cost. I wish I knew it was this bad before watching.
the_wolf_imdb Yes, they can! The fundamental problem of this movie is that it is not a movie as such. It is very boring nonsensical soft core torture porn or something like that. There is no reasonable story for the girls that will be raped and killed nor for the guys who will rape and kill them. They just do happen to meet and soft core torture porn will happen.None of the characters are believable or interesting. It is mostly running in the woods, screaming, some bondage play in the mud and such. The movie could be roughly compared to Lake Eden but in comparison to that the Lake Eden has interesting characters, plot and very disturbing message.Surprisingly enough the movie does not even have any thrills, it is very predictable. It promises something for horror fans, for thriller fans and even for the porn consumers, but fails in all the aspects. There are no sympathetic heroes so you do not feel anything. It is just very boring, somewhat disgusting flick. What a waste of time!
Maskedview With the action starting immediately the film's horror direction is set. We then meet the innocent girls doing what girls do, having a fun weekend away. Although I found the pace of the girls hiking and chatting slow, maybe could have been reduced a little, it introduces the normality of why they are there and the friendships involved. Obviously, all the girls are very pretty, and very easy on the eye, which some would instantly say was sexist, but each girl has their own character strengths and weaknesses and are able to protect themselves to an extent. Don't worry there are some cute guys there too!! When darkness falls as in many horror films a requisite for the action to begin, and boy does it! This is brutal horror not for the faint hearted, but not as brutal as some I've seen however it does portray how a completely innocent & normal situation can change with devastating effect. There are a few light hearted moments included even while the brutality is taking place which is unusual in this type of film, but it works well. And even when u think it's over there's a final twist.The scenery is amazing, with brilliant camera angles, and the make up has been well thought out & add in some great music and this becomes a decent film for British horror.
CreaturewiththeatombrainUK Kate, played by Zara Phythian, meets up with five old friends after the sudden death of her partner, together the group of girls set off on a camping trip to a picturesque, remote area of the British countryside. As night falls they are attacked and captured, Kate is left for dead after being pushed from a cliff ledge, which she survives. The girls soon realise their survival depends on each other. The Hike blends, I Spit on Your Grave with The Decent and is the first feature film written and directed by Rupert Bryan. Hostel favorite, Barbara Nedeljakova, won best supporting actress at The British Horror Film Festival for her role. The movie begins with a gripping cold opening scene and slick opening credits. The five women that make up the group about to embark on their journey all look very attractive, are dressed to kill, if not somewhat inappropriately for hiking, in skimpy clothes and high heels. Their questionable acting coupled with the unimaginative dialogue are initially easily forgiven, as most fans of the genre would just assume these girls have been chosen by their readiness to take their clothes off and shoot scenes of graphic violence. This is not the case. In fact, the whole film is relatively tame. It starts off well with good pacing and a reasonable attempt at character development. First-rate camera work, topnotch music and beautiful scenery give the low budget movie a refined, professional look. However, as the story unfolds through a series of unsurprising twists, it begins to feel rushed, and in places, it becomes difficult to easily follow the action. On the whole, The Hike feels like exploitation / torture cinema for beginners, for those looking to gently warm to the sub genre.
