Featured review
You can't watch this film and not think of the classic French crime thriller Crimson Rivers.
It has a lot of similarities to that film, only with more of a folk horror twist.
Not that it's nearly as good as it...more like a budget version.
It's got that vibe though.
Which is why I wanted to love this more than I actually did.
Because I was a huge fan of that film when I was younger.
There's something about this that just doesn't do it for me though.
Perhaps it's the acting (the duo here are no Reno & Cassels).
Perhaps it's the manufactured feel of the whole thing.
Or, perhaps it's the way the mystery is dumbed down "for the sake of the viewers".
Either way...it sits somewhere in the middle ground of being entertaining enough, and kind of lame, at the same time.
It's not horrible.
But it should have been better than it is.
They definitely made the ending way too predictable.
And even though they attempted to throw in a few twists, and a little ultraviolence, at the end...it just wasn't enough to make the film good.
So I can't help but leave feeling a little disappointed by it.
But I think it will be good enough for most mainstream viewers.
So there's that, at least.
4 out of 10.
