Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

chow913 Elisabeth Harnois stars as a typical 33 year old teenage girl in a small town.What? Elisabeth Harnois can still pass for 16 after all these years since we drooled over her in 'My Date With The President's Daughter' back in 1998? Yes! She can! And she still looks great! Harnois' mentally handicapped brother... I mean mentally challenged... I mean mentally disabled... I mean differently enabled mentally... I mean special needs... I mean whatever is PC at the moment, is taken for a joyride by two bullies. While stopping for beer at a gas station he disappears.3 years later (so is Elisabeth Harnois now supposed to be 36?) Harnois spots her brother at a farmers market and follows him to the ghostly town of Riddle which appears to be almost completely abandoned. This is creepy but it's never explained. Just like the rest of this movie.When she reports her brother's sighting to the local yokel sheriff Val Kilmer, the bar tender, tow truck driver and other locals they all hint at there being a conspiracy within Riddle to cover up her brother's kidnapping.This plot appears to be going somewhere but it isn't! In no time Harnois unites with other thirty something teenagers and we're left with the slasher formula of teenagers running through the woods from ax wielding maniacs and stepping in bear traps.Basically NOTHING is ever really explained as to why her brother was kidnapped or even by whom.There are also several other major logical flaws in this film. For example, when one character is found imprisoned in a barn he has long hair to suggest he hasn't been well treated. How then is he clean shaven? Uncut hair but clean shaven? The film makers could easily have fixed this by simply having the makeup artist add some stubble.In another scene Harnois just happened upon her brother's manila file showing they were both adopted. Why would his birth file have his adopted last name on it? The film makers could just have easily fixed this by having the adopted parents name on the file instead of the brother's. Sloppy work.'Riddle' isn't nails on a chalkboard but there is no reason to see it other than to marvel over how great Elisabeth Harnois still looks at age 33.

Md Mosabbir now riddle is a story, where the writer directer couldn't solve the riddle, worst acting, most unnatural situation, even if u think its horror flick its actually nothing but a pretty girl running here and there, a bit mysterious because its in tag, most mysterious events were dreams, not at all connected with film, any way total waste of time i joined IMDb just to tell don't watch it if u like mystery, u may consider watching the leading girl :P...i read other review and watched it, i don't know when was last time he watched a movie I'm furious with such people writing review for a film like this...try your best to avoid it

Ryan Maier First of all the plot is totally unbelievable by 1/3 of the way through. The plot is very shallow especially with back story and character development. It is very hard to have any sympathy with the undeveloped vapid characters. The acting was very jilted and contrived, especially the role of Val Kilmer. It was as if Val was forced to do a movie for some reason and gave his bare minimum. I think in this 21st century the idea of the helpless unresourceful female character is outdated. In fact the reactions of all four characters who are hunting for the whereabouts of the missing brother is so overdone in hundreds of "horror" movies before that it is an offensive to the viewer. They follow the very typical method of operation that so many horror, slasher, teenage movie flicks follow. separate and get picked off one by one. then when confronting the bad guy in the movie one of the male characters makes all the wrong mistakes that we come to expect and as easily predicted he dies. What a big shocker there. And the obvious blaring misconception is the cover on the video, a giant question mark with an MC Escher like illustration. At no time did this theme in anyway relate to the film. What could have been a mind bending psychological thriller turned out to be worse than some film student's senior project. I did give it one star because there was a happy ending and one cannot turn down a happy ending.

finnsmyth This kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the film. Beautiful shots, mysterious setting, and great acting by Val Kilmer and several lesser known folks, especially the lead. Don't watch this movie if you don't like horror films, because it will keep you up the night you watch it! Also make sure you get a good drink beforehand because with the fear you will experience it's a much more intense viewing than most so-called horror movies. A lot of movies have been filmed near this part of the country (notably Mothman Prophecies in 2001), but none of them managed to show the grit and reality as well as Riddle. I think they didn't get a wider release because Mross is a new director, but hopefully word will spread that this is a terrific film.
