Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
tafilint2003 This movie is truly a waste of time. Boring scrip and totally unconvincing. This movie director should start searching for another job. He's not talented and talent can't be bought, so he better give up before he embarrass himself even more.If you like "Deliverance" type of a movie then I'd recommend "Killing Ground" (2016) which is a much better movie. In fact, "Killing Ground" has a very undeserved low rating. It's real rating should be around 7.0. But hey, nobody said that IMDB is realistic. If IMDB was realistic then "Preservation" would have a rating of 3.7
skydala I know this movie will never win any awards, and is definitely not the best it could have been, but I honestly really enjoyed this movie. Was it entirely believable? No, of course not. There were many instances where suspension of reality is necessary. One thing more than anything else, in my opinion, was the ridiculous idea that an iPhone battery would've lasted them as long as it did... But that's not why I watched this movie. I watched it because I wanted to have some thrills and chills, and that's exactly what I got. I watched it alone in a dark room and it was exciting and a little scary and it had me rooting out loud for the "good guys" to win. I was involved, and I was definitely entertained, and that's not always easy to get from a movie these days. Don't over-think things. Sometimes you just need to have fun.
sgcim I really can't stand it when directors rip-off a foreign film, and think that people won't realize they've ripped it off because the original was a foreign film. In this case, the losers that made this flick ripped off the Spanish movie, "El Rey De La Montana", and just changed the ending and a few plot points so they wouldn't be sued. While they also took some things from other films that have been mentioned, as soon as I saw the reveal scene of the kids shooting at them and texting each other, there was no doubt in my mind that they expected the audience to be shocked that they were kids having fun.If I hadn't seen 'El Rey De La Montana', I probably would have been shocked, but since I did, I just watched it and waited to see if they gave ERDLM some credit at the end. If they had given it some credit, I might have given the movie a higher rating, but since they didn't, I gave it a 1. The only difference is they made a ridiculous 'final girl' ending, where the wife succeeds in killing the three kids, where the military guy and his brother failed. In EDDLM there was a much more realistic ending, which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't seen that superior film.
jmurdaj This contains serious spoilers so don't read it if you want to know nothing about the movie. So you have this ex military bad ass, his brother, and his brother's wife. They are going camping and wake up to find that they are being hunted by 3 kids. How the hell does the ex military guy get killed off after he brilliantly tracks these ppl, and actually almost kills one. He beats 1 up, turns his back on him to get a gun, and when he turns back around, the guy stabs and kills him. So not logical that an ex military guy would be smart enough to track the killer down but stupid enough to turn his back on the enemy. So whatever he dies, the brother dies, and the wife tries to escape. All of a sudden she goes from helpless pregnant doctor, to a trained killer. She tracks down the rest of the kids and kill them 1 by 1. At one point, she hits one with tire iron thing, and can't bring herself to finish the job and hit him in the head. Your husband and brother in law were just murdered, he tried to kill you, but you're going to let this kid live? So stupid. The best part of the movie, 1 kid is about to kill the girl. He literally thrusts the knife down to stab her and as soon as it almost punctures her stomach, his mom calls!!!! He answers and is like no mom I'm just at soccer practice. Dad didn't pick me up so I took my bike. I love you too! That was hilarious. Would have been an amazing movie if the military guy used his skills to track them all down and kill them before they could kill his fam.
