The Tribe

For me The Tribe was one of those pick and mix movies, therefore I went in with no expectations at all.

It tells the story of three sisters who live out in the desert, it's set in a post apocalyptic world that was hit by a pandemic and they are fighting to stay alive.

A core rule they have is not to let anyone in should they appear and when they break that rule it changes everything.

With a fantastic leading lady, great setting and interesting premise The Tribe had me gripped and is anything but predictible. Trouble is the ending both makes and breaks the movie in that it is merciless, open ended and totally out of left field.

I enjoyed the Tribe but certainly wanted to have liked it more, the ending just left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I'm honestly not sure what the creators were going with there.

Well cast, interesting but flawed.

The Good:

Great leading lady

Interesting ideas

Unpredictible

The Bad:

Ending is questionable

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I spent half the movie trying to work out if that was Melissa Benoist

Danika is one of the weirdest looking kids I've ever seen

...invitation to take a nap.

I kept hoping for an interesting spin in this poorly written snoozefest of a movie...still waiting.

I say it was well acted by the young cast and can see where they made the most of the minimal cardboard dialogue.

Directing and cinematography are well done considering that nothing interesting actually happens.

Production values are decent for an indy but they should have spent some money on a rewrite of the script or chosen a better one to start with.

Minor twists on the Z for Zachariah plot line, but nowhere near as interesting as that young adult book was half a century ago.

Don't recommend wasting your time on this one...but again the young cast did well with what they had to work with, so your call.

A disease has thinned the population to near extinction. Three sisters are left alone at a remote ranch that their survivalist father built before killing himself. The girls wait hopefully for the rains to return, then one day a young man walks out of the desert.

The three sisters are excellently portrayed and are great characters. The clashes between the eldest sisters as they question the instructions left them by their father before he deserted them are electric.

When the outsider arrives the girls appear to be low hanging (and ripe) fruit. But looks can be deceiving and various plans collide to create some considerable drama.

The female leads are excellent giving very believable performances. Cinematography is great, making the most of the rugged desert landscape.

I don't want to spoil anything, but don't expect a whole load of rainbows here.

Simple story, well crafted. I choose to ignore the very last scene (on accounts I don't understand it) but I would recommend this.

The stupidest movie I've ever seen in my life. What a bunch of horsecrap this entire movie was. Omg.... What a waste of film. Woman are so nieve ? Is that the message of this movie ? Just idiotic !

It's like they were trying to make it bad. It's stupid but not the funny kind of stupid. Just really bad in every way. Looks like the apocalypse has plenty of lip gloss and hair care products. And also a muzzle loader that works like a repeating riffle for some reason. Just dumb. No excuse. Also I can't spoil this because it was already rotten.
