Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
redmist-24758 IF I could give a 0 out of ten i would....The plot makes no sense...for example we cut to a doctors office to hear conversation for 10 seconds just to build the smallest plot. THEN it looks like they only hired about 100 cast members since you can see the same extra almost every 2 scenes. Next they decided to film in a rundown abandoned school that looks like they put a slap of paint and said F'it were filming! then they make some "i did your mom/GF jokes" When the main character gets a flashback of his marine dad the dad has no visible ranks if so then they are microscopic then his camis are soo big on him i could make a blanket with them and then he will fit in them. I think they spent more money on the dirtbike scene that any other part of the movie and even then it looks like it was directed by a child "oh look lets let the bikes get out of frame for 10 seconds then cut to them...it will build suspense" now really i cant go on since by now i have arthritis due to typing so any mistakes.
Nigel P 'Treehouse' starts off in an intriguing manner with the very young looking Elizabeth (Dana Melanie) coming home to find her young brother 'little Bob' missing after, bizarrely, being left in the family house alone.Two brothers, the bullied Killian (J. Michael Trautmann) and wholesome Crawford (Daniel Fredrick) discover Elizabeth trapped in a treehouse, before Crawford disappears (he appears to be one of several figures hung from the tree in probably the film's most effective sequence) and the two youngsters then have to fend for themselves.What happens next is a jumble of flashbacks and tantalising glimpses of what appears to be a creature in the distance. The creature turns out to be one of three hillbillies who seem intent on killing the two juveniles.There were some sound problems (loud music and quiet dialogue), but 'Treehouse' has been shot and directed very well, much of the action appearing to take place in crisp early morning sunlight which helps give the woodland setting a stark, uncomfortable look. The acting too, is very good until the very end when the two surviving leads are required to be hardened and detached by events, ready to take on the world – which is asking too much and fails to convince.
Saiph90 How low has our values become when my wife thought this appalling film was OK, I got up and walked out unfortunately I was watching it on Sky at home and ended up in the garden, it was pouring down with rain and freezing but probably preferable to watching the remaining movie. Story, children have gone missing from a village in the past and "it has started again" The start of the film is promising when the young girl comes back to the empty house. It then progresses to two brothers going off in to the woods and then the wheels come off as if the second writer had no inkling of the start of the film, the two brothers discover the young girl who for some bizarre reason calls the younger brother "baby bear". The monsters suddenly turn into the hills have eyes humans and we then have the third writer turn it into Rambo where the younger brother turns into a ninja, the ending is lazy as if they are already eyeing a sequel can I make a suggestion, don't bother, I could list the holes in the plot but I have the rest of my life to live.
kjaney Let me start by saying I have absolutely no idea why I watched this through to the end. 5 minutes in and I knew it was all going to go even further downhill, but for some reason I stuck with it, in the vain hope that it would at some stage get better. It didn't. I'm struggling to find a single positive thing to say about it... Well, the scenery was nice. Erm...yep. That's it. Perhaps I could explain through the use of a judicious scoring system:Acting: 0. Direction: 0. Plot: -1 (No need to go through any plot points - there weren't any). Cinematography: 0. Overall experience: -10.I did enjoy my popcorn however, and at least I didn't go to the cinema to watch it as that would really have finished me off. This has to rank right up there with the worst dross I've ever seen.
