3/10
Along the Trail of Boredom
22 February 2023
The film follows two young boys, desperate to escape their abusive father, as they seek out their mother through the wilderness of Pennsylvania. However, their journey takes a dark turn when the older brother, Henry, develops a strange patch of skin on the back of his neck and begins to act increasingly erratic. As they traverse the woods, the brothers encounter unexplainable signs, raising questions about what they're really up against. Will they ever reach their destination?

While the movie attempts a stylish approach by dividing the story into eight chapters, it feels disjointed and slows down the pacing. The overall production is low-budget, and the acting is not very convincing. Although the movie seems to aim for a deeper meaning, it struggles to articulate a clear message, leaving the audience feeling unsatisfied by the end.

The horror elements in the movie come across as cheesy and fail to create a truly scary atmosphere, making it feel more like a high school film project than a professionally produced feature film. Overall I would skip this one.
