Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is the worst horror movie of all time. It has the worst story line. It is slow and not scary at all. 4.1 is not a good ratting. But this is such an awful movie that 4.1 overrating it. It is crap. I give it 1. The ending is awful. If I want to get scared I will watch Deliverance. This is a pooh pooh movie. The acting it not very good either. This is one of the worst horror movies I have seen. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this awful movie. It is just a big pile pooh pooh. It is pooh pooh with pee pee inside it. It is so slow. And so not scary. I can not believe how not scary it is. There are better movie out there like Troll 2. I mean that. I really do.

busctothebusc It's a shame when people undertake the effort to make a feature film when they simply do not have the requisite tools to even superficially command the craft. The filmmaker(s) should have spent more time doing another short film or two in order to better prepare (or better yet) learn the craft of story design and character development. The movie is reasonably well shot, but this is the extent of what I'm willing to give this movie. Good work by DP.The movie drags and drags. The characters are not well drawn – very little debt. All we get is three guys that go into the forest on a self-imposed mission to test themselves with very little water and a bag of peyote. The reason for this is not very well justified. We're left to assume that it's a contrived "guys" thing – not good enough as far as a premise goes. We're not given a whole lot of insight into Julian's character aside from the fact that he's got some sort of unresolved internal issues – none of this is well mapped. He and Paul are drawn up as having issues with on another, but again nothing is really fleshed out in any discernible dramatic sense. Their relationship is flat and one-note.As mentioned earlier, nothing really happens with these guys. The structure is week and no discernible dramatic tension is created that is able to sustain a feature length telling of the story (or lack thereof). The movie simply wallows along as we follow these week characters through the forest.I really long for the days when people stop pretending to be filmmakers just because they have the financial means to do so. Of course, we can't really define well made movies without having our fair share of bad or mediocre movies like this one. The filmmakers of Deadfall Trail will do well to be honest with themselves and learn to appreciate the art of story craft – maybe consult those that do have experience instead of assuming that they already have the tools. Learn how to write stories that resonate with the audience and populate your story with compelling characters that have some emotional debt and complexity and are able to pull the audience along. Reach out for serious notes from experienced story tellers if you need to. And don't fall into the fatal trap of only taking notes that praise or validate you. Learn how to work with honest notes, even if it hurts. From what I understand, the filmmakers are instructors at a two year film program in Scottsdale, Arizona? My hopes are that this does not cloud their ability to take notes from others. It's very easy for people like this to feel like they have all the answers when surrounded by eager students that look up to them.

danielgriner the actors all showed incredible heart in this movie, I gotta say it was intense. Awesome, the characters were all on the money. Ending was crazy but I saw it coming from way back. the main guy looked like the dude from hit-man and the crazies, Tim Olpyant or something. I'm high. kinda scary just to think about what could happen if you go to the woods with a stranger and things get twisted and you gotta go to war. See who da man be! Right... so its awesome just don't be a weeping willow and you will enjoy it. Some folks might want to go ahead and stop it when there's only like 2 mins left, completely different feel. Is this 10 lines yet, Christ!

MickyFin Well, this film had me wondering at first, but then given the survival tactics which Im aware of having worked with special forces, everything was dandy, the suspense was there, the survival tactics were correct, and the suspense was there.Everything was going swimmingly throughout the film, even the hallucinations were realistic, and applauded, but the end of the film, what was all that about.?!? It really let the whole thing down in my opinion, and I have been on set with many a film, and was completely stumped at the ending of this film.If more time was spent on the story, especially the ending, this film could of ranked so so much higher.!
