Storyline

Anne is an avid bicycle enthusiast. She has a one night stand with a fellow biker, Chris, who is also apparently a cop. He gets rough with her and the memory haunts her. Three days later her boyfriend, Micheal, and her go into the Whistler range of mountains for a biking trip. Chris shows up, stalking and frightening them as they make their way further into the dangerous mountain range. Micheal is killed and Anne spends her time trying to survive, while witnessing the demise of several other innocent "bystanders" in the process.

Goofs

Anne's face is half covered with blood before plunging into the river. She emerges from the river and her face is mostly clear of blood. In the very next scene as she carries her bike through the woods, her face is again half covered with blood. In the next cut, it's mostly clear again.

User Reviews

A miserable trail best avoided

A young couple need a break from the city so they load up their mountain bikes and drive out to the wilderness. A couple of days earlier she had a one night stand with a stranger, who apparently was a cop. He's also a nutcase, somehow he appears on the mountain trail that they are riding, slashes the boyfriend's neck, then plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with the girl, a few other people who pop up get killed along the way. This is an English language German movie, the main characters accents are American, or at least trying to be, but I'm not sure where exactly it is set. Filmed in Austria, the mountain scenery is one of the few positive things about this movie. The camerwork was bad, constantly moving about, the picture quality is poor. The acting and the characters are weak, I found nothing to root for in the girl. There is blood and gore but the effects aren't great. The plot is just dumb and unbelievable. I wasn't expecting much but I found Blood Trails to be as boring as it is poor, couldn't get to the end credits quick enough. There are several glowing reviews on here but I would pay no attention, they're either from people connected to this crap or they haven't watched several thousand horror movies like I have.
