EarDelightBase Waste of Money.
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
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.
leahbethjwalker I'll try to be short and sweet. The directors and writers had an opportunity to tell an interesting, albiet messed up, story. They flopped. Camera work is shoddy. I could hardly understand half the dialogue. If I hadn't already known most of the story, I really don't think any of it would have made sense. Honestly, I watched it for Mr. Reedus. Even though his character is important to the story, he's really not in it enough to constitute watching it just for the eye candy.
mikelang42 Films with Red in the title tend to be good for some reason. No i am not doing a list, though i will mention top Australian thriller Red Hill. This did not get a UK theatre release. I only know of it as it was given faint praise by Kim Newman in an issue of Empire mag on it's belated DVD release.It turns out to be a handsomely filmed Drama with horror overtones as two youngsters and their friends return to the family home in the badlands of Utah, where a brutal rape causes them to return to try to put it behind them. Not the best idea to say the least, but this manages to carry it off with a good script and decent acting.Think the opposite side of the plot in the excellent Wolf Creek and your nearly there. Well worth a look and there's a dog you would not take down the pub!
sushihoney Red Canyon feels like it's somewhere between a horror film a film noir set in the American west. It shares the same sense of heart pounding suspense and build - up that High Tension had - the same excruciating sense of dread until the final awful confrontation. It will also keep you guessing like no film I've ever seen before. In many ways it's flawed - but I liked those flaws - because they let you fill in your own story line - not everything is fed to you - and days after the movie you still kind of wonder about each detail in the story and if you've read what you've seen correctly. I watched it with a friend of mine - and she was almost started crying at the end. As much as it's a horror film - it gives you that feeling of reality and in a VERY strange way touches some of the deepest fears and taboos in our every culture.
rrpeoplesearch Prior to Red Canyon, Wolf Creek taught us all that carefree road trips really can go wrong. Red Canyon takes that lesson, turns it on its ear, reminds you that the boogey man is more real than supernatural and then to reinforce the message hits you over the head and says "let sleeping dogs lie". The script, the cast and the overall production are much more professional than you expect in films of this nature. The camera work, the lighting and some of the angles that the director chose for shots gave things a fresh flow.The cast was all quite good, but both Justin Hartley and Christine Lakin took their material and made their characters quite compelling. I look forward to the day when someone realizes that Justin Hartley has the acting chops to play more than the affable good guy who screws up from time to time.
