Diagonaldi Very well executed

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Coventry Where to begin with "Timber Falls", as I honestly can't decide whether I should be harsh or mild in my user comment? On one hand, it's an admirably tense nowadays horror flick with brutal gore, lovely filming locations and identifiable main characters, but on the other hand it serves cliché after cliché and it's full of predictable twists. I liked the realism of the character drawings and for once the lead protagonists Mike and Sheryl are okay people that you actually wish to survive their ordeal, but fact remains that you've seen this exact same story dozens of times before and I can't filter out any aspect that is unique. Young couple goes hiking in a West Virginian national park (although for budgetary reasons the film is actually shot in Romania) where they ask the wrong persons for directions and end up in the torture dungeon of a deranged hillbilly family with a deformed son. What else can I add that you can't figure out by yourself? That the kidnappers are disturbed religious fanatics? Nope, that's hardly innovative either. That their deformed adolescent son is a perverted rapist with a nasty scythe for a toy? That's also not a big surprise, I guess… And yet, I would still encourage genre admirers to check "Timber Falls" out, because it's a competently made and unhinged horror flick that doesn't feature any boring moments. The performances of Josh Randall and the beautiful Brianna Brown are more than adequate and TV-starlet Beth Broderick ("Lost", "Sabrina Teenage Witch") clearly had a field day depicting the deranged backwoods bitch Ida. Oh, perhaps one thing that features here and you won't find in similar gore flicks: the ending. But I won't ruin it

lcaseironyc How in real life could someone be such a looser to make all those mistakes that got the characters in trouble over and over again? This is a lousy, but really lousy movie! Long time since I last saw something unpleasant like this thing. How come after being threatened by the brothers you throw away your gun? How come after fighting with the women, the main character goes down to the basement without first making sure she would not constitute a threat to him? And he didn't even look for a gun? And the list continues on and on, this was a really big disappointment to me, sorry. Not criticizing the actors here, they did what they could, but, who wrote this plot? Is this the best he can do?

Paul Andrews Timber Falls starts as loving couple Mike Warren (Josh Randall) & Cheryl James (Brianna Brown) arrive at Lake Kumbrabow State Park near West Virginia to go hiking for a couple a days, local Park rangers advise them to stick to patrolled paths but Mike & Sheryl decide to hike to Timber Falls after a woman named Ida (Beth Broderick) says the scenery is better. Mike & Sheryl set up camp & the following morning Mike wakes up to find Sheryl has disappeared, after being caught in a bear trap Mike is rescued by Ida & she tends to his wounds at her house. Worried for Sheryl Mike insists that Ida call for help but she doesn't & Mike becomes suspicious, Mike discovers that Ida is being held by a deformed freak in Ida's basement & that Ida & her husband Clyde (Nick Searcy) have a twisted plan for Mike & Sheryl...Co-written & directed by Tony Giglio this backwoods brutality horror thriller is watchable enough for it's type but it's not something that I would call great, a mixture of classic films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Wrong Turn (2003) without really adding anything new or particularly memorable. The script is strictly routine in everything it does, the two big city civilized victims who take a wrong turn & make some bad decisions after which they end up at the mercy of inbred & or deformed Redneck or Hillbilly psycho's who torture them & abuse them for the remained of the film until they manage to turn the tables although here in Timber falls there's an awful twist ending in which the deformed mutant ends up at Mike & Sheryl's house over a year after he was supposedly killed. The body count is fairly low, a woman jumps to death off a cliff during the opening sequence but then no-one gets killed until the last fifteen minutes & as such Timber Falls often doesn't feel like a ten slasher but that's exactly what it is only without the large body-count. There are some glaring moments of stupidity too, why does Sheryl wait so long to admit she's already pregnant? Given the choice between being brutally tortured & having sex with your girlfriend most people would surely choose to have sex? So why then does Mike refuse & let himself & Sheryl be tortured for so long? It just doesn't sit well with me. The psycho's here are religious nuts & once again the whole idea of these deeply religious people torturing & killing people just seems contradictory, the deformed psycho Deacon is never more than an inferior Leatherface rip-off which his arsenal of rusty blades. knives & weapons. Then there's the infamous head scratching scene in which after being threatened & robbed by three Hillbillies the couple actually carry on hiking & Sheryl amazingly makes Mike throw all the bullets from his gun away.To it's credit Timber Falls is well made & a pretty glossy looking film, the photography & lighting are slick, there's no CGI computer crap just good old fashion make-up effects & there's a definite backwoods feel although it's maybe a little bright at times. The gore levels are alright but maybe because Mike & Sheryl are held captive for so long you think you see more than you actually do, a woman has long metal nails through her hands which she then rips out, a man is whipped, a little finger is cut off, people are beaten, a guy gets an axe in the head, someone is decapitated, people are shot, someone gets a knife in the neck & there's a fair amount of blood splatter too. Not the goriest film out there but still quite brutal at times I suppose.With a supposed budget of about $2,600,000 this was set in Virginia but actually filmed in Bucharest in Romania. The acting is alright, the two leads were cast for their looks while the two main psychos are pretty good.Timber Falls is a competent backwoods horror thriller that is well made, moves along at a decent pace & has a few nice torture scenes but a silly script that defies logic & common sense at times & a lack of originality prevent it from being anything more than merely watchable if there's nothing better to watch.

kyleallen_9 I just bought this movie and I loved it. It sort of can be compared with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, only this one isn't a total gore-fest and is more of a psychological thriller. A young couple Josh Randall(Scrubs and Pushing Daisies) and Brianna Brown(After Dark Horrorfest 2009 upcoming flick The Lost Tribe) decide to take a weekend off and go camping. They wind up crossing paths with a couple of red neck town drunks, only to find out that they are being stalked by a deformed maniac. They end up being held captive by a religious fanatic and his wife, who cant conceive and want the young couple to get pregnant and give them their baby. The couple end up turning the tables in a bloody fight for survival. This flick has some sweet kill shots, so I definitely recommend this to anyone.
