The Trek

THE TREK thetrekmovie.thedrafters.com A film by Lola Wallace & Tom Devlin Starring John Karyus "Kind of BIGFOOT meets CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR ?" This movie seems to be a train wreck, That you have to watch…Two couples who are TOTALLY different, But similar.

The couple just going into woods to explore and the cannibals who have been 'in the woods',Too long.

Began to see the humanity in primitives and the degeneration of "Civilized" Man & Woman.

The makeup effects are great and story is logical, You feel for these couples who fate has thrown in a blender together and Who will survive ? There is some physical 'tit for tat' with dismemberment, That will have you looking away from screen.

After disappearing in the woods, a film crew looks into a case involving a couple's disappearance while out hiking in the woods for a special honeymoon celebration which eventually reveals that they were attacked by deranged mountain men and were forced to take drastic measures to survive.

This was a pretty troubling feature that has a few decent aspects to it. The main element this one has going for it is a rather strong final half where the action picks up with the involvement of the psychotic woods people getting involved. The initial attack is quite strong with it coming out of nowhere and featuring the one lunging out of the woods to try to attack them forcing a brutal beatdown to finally stop it only for the other member to seek revenge for the attack on their mate. This leads to a solid series of chases and encounters throughout the woods as vicious and brutal confrontations take place. With these featuring some genuinely graphic and uncomfortable sequences of torture letting into the bloodletting on display, it manages to generate a few positive aspects of this. There are some pretty big factors holding it back. It's all about the story structure here where this one tends to feature unnecessary and useless mockumentary-style setup involving the series of interviews and talking-head news pieces that try to paint the picture of the two having gone missing with no sign of what's going on. However, it ruins the surprise of what's going on at the very end by injecting these momentum-sapping sequences that just do nothing to move this one along into any kind of interest. It also causes the first half to feel immensely sluggish and bland waiting around for something to happen as not only do we have the rather fun relationship aspect but also the interjecting news bits that drag it out for no reason. It's the main aspect that ends up holding this down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Language, and Brief Nudity.

Sadly this was a silly, the worst acting film. Nothing scary or suspenseful at all. Only 4 characters and you felt nothing at all for them. As for a plot, nope didn't really have one. The "gruesome" ending was laughable. Wow, seriously I don't have the words to explain to you why this movie was so so so bad. Luckily it's only about a hour long so if you do watch it, you've only wasted 1 hour of your life that you can never get back. But, nope don't watch it. Instead go watch your hair grow cause it'd be more exciting than this.
