Reviews
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Fella_shibby I saw this on a pirated dvd few days back. Got enticed due to the trailer. The only good thing about this film is the settings n for that i have been generous enuff to rate it 3 stars. Ther is too much of chatting, too much of stupidity. Almost nothin happens till 70 mins. We dont even get to see the creature mayhem. The creatures/vampires r laughable. In one scene during nite time, a couple is surrounded by creatures outside their tent n nothing happens. After that they outrun the creatures by spraying pepper spray n voila there is sunlight. Again they try to go back n its night time. The creatures/vampires seems to b more afraid. The ending was kinda meh.
terrencepatrix This is a difficult movie to review because the description along with the opening sequence is essentially one big spoiler for the entire movie...it literally reveals the entire plot. So the actual meat of the movie is basically just a couple going for a long hike in the woods and constantly bickering until they eventually run into the aforementioned vampires. It's a simple low budget movie but the natural beauty of the redwood forest makes for a very nice looking movie. The acting of the main cast is adequate but nothing special although early in the film there's a scene with a park ranger where the acting is particularly cringe inducing. Also the introduction of Nicholas Brendon (of past Buffy fame) was just kind of weird and poorly written. He doesn't play an important role at all, just kind of pops up out of nowhere to say his lines, act a little creepy, then isn't seen again until the end. On top of that his last line of the movie is cheesy and completely unnecessary, it seems it was included to make sure you knew they were vampires. As in he literally pops up to say "Not another vampire...". We know man, we saw it. Thanks anyway. The biggest flaw in the movie, aside from completely spoiling the plot 5 minutes in, is the complete lack of suspense. There are no twists here, what you think is going to happen is exactly what happens and then the movie ends which is ultimately just really unsatisfying. So this movie, while it looked nice, just falls flat and honestly kinda lame. It's definitely not scary by any means. Give it a watch if you want to see a well shot but ultimately pointless movie, just don't expect much from it.
mrmirate There's an emotional core to Redwood which kind of blindsides you when you go in expecting a gory B-movie. Having said that, the resonance is welcome alongside real tension and chills built off of the oldest trick in the book: character development. Performances are on point and the cinematography is both resourceful and beautiful.
dave_stallard-865-133478 Having loved Tom's previous film (Pandorica), I was keen to see what he had in store for us with Redwood, and he didn't disappoint.The film has moments that make you jump, a different take on vampires, and a twist at the end, all complimented with humor throughout.Mike Beckingham's delivery was on point and the film even includes a Buffy reference coupled with a cameo from the one and only Xander Harris AKA Nicholas Brendon.I really enjoyed it and the only negative I have is that it was over too soon.I look forward to the next installment from Tom Paton Productions
