The Mooring

Apparently IMDb requires me to create a really long review. No real character development going in this flick. I could end it there but rules are rules. The movie starts out giving us some nice cinematography. For some reason the gaggle gets on a house boat. Probably someone needed to take a tax deduction on a houseboat and someone else wanted to see their boat in the movies. Not much character development going on here. We could have seen the girls starting out to be in conflict with each other and coming together to defeat the psycho and using their smarts (sans technology) but "nooooooo!" The term "narrative excess" is defined in this film. I really tried to watch this film but I couldn't. I stopped, tried again,stopped tried again, fast forwarded the film, and tried again to no avail. The cinematography was good but it could not save this film.

There are some ridiculous things in the story. The villain's purpose is not even clear. I didn't like this movie and I don't recommend watching it. Bad script and bad acting.

This is your basic "killer chasing girls in the woods" type movie. We've all seen this style of movie before, where you're rooting for the girls to escape the psycho hunter while he picks them off one by one. But the difference about this movie is I felt confused the whole time, especially at the end. I think because it lacked a lot of dialogue, which was wasted on getting to know the teenage girls. We never really understood why the killing couple came after the girls in the first place. With their first kill in the film, it was clear that it was sadistic and that they were doing it for their own pleasure. But then it gets complicated towards the end, with the couple leaving me wondering, "What was that all about?" This movie had potential, but then got confusing when the story would focus on the killer's personality. I still made it all the way through, but honestly, by the end of the film I felt like I didn't really care one way or the other.

Director Glen Withrow's redefines horror and pushes the envelope of terror with his film, The Mooring. Building the suspense at a fever pitch, he creates an atmosphere of stark raving fright within minutes with a exciting opening sequence. The production values are first rate and the Idaho locations heighten the feeling of surrealism that permeates the film. An exciting cast of young faces are introduced in this motion picture and are sure to become major stars as a result of its impact. Their performances are outstanding and there isn't a false not in the bunch. The true horror in this film lies outside the realm of blood and gore and the focus is upon the terror of unexplained disappearance. Thomas Wilson Brown's downright breathtaking in the role of Richard, a disturbing turn that should catapult him to the stratosphere of the acting profession.

I just saw this movie and at first i thought that it was not worth my time because it took a lot of time to get to the point..The cast is unknown except Thomas Wilson Brown who was pretty good at his part.In my opinion they should have cast another known actor so that the movie attracts more people.The blonde teacher was unknown to me,i didn't recognize her from any movies that I've watched.The bad thing about the film was the shaky camera which hurt my eyes a bit and the fact that the place that the girls went to camp was not appropriate because it was in the middle of the jungle so it is natural that something bad will happen and who goes somewhere unknown without at least a cellphone??It's like you're waiting it to happen..The ending for me was predictable but then again I've seen so many movies so i should know by now how some of them may end.I recommend this movie because low budged films deserve a chance and not everything has to be Hollywood perfect.
