Hillwalkers

My four points are for the beautiful actresses. Otherwise, the story is a silly one. Three strong women and two weak men are on a trek through the wilderness and one of the men somehow gets a large splinter stuck in his leg. Uh oh; they ignore a no trespassing sign and the predictable bad men arrive and make life difficult for the group. The final ten minutes are ridiculous. Avoid Hillwalkers.

A good film to watch. I would ignore the negative reviews but then everyone has different tastes. Yes, things go wrong and it's great to see a movie where you would do things differently if you were one of the characters.

It is a good watch, it is not going to be your favourite movie ever but it's a GOOD watch. I like it the style and characters. Some dark humour too and it really is like a film where you will go "oh no, they shouldn't have done that". Also for those go walking and hiking, it's great to remind of you what NOT to do. Overall, it really is a good film and worth a watch for sure.

This was not a horror movie to me. It wasn't really good. The actors/acting wasn't great. The movie had no suspense or thrills to it. You could really figure out what was about to happen in every scene.

There were actually done funny parts in the movie. And I never found out who the girl was at the start of the movie. Could be because I lost interest in the movie and started doing other things.

I wouldn't watch it again. It wasn't a total waste to me at least I was able to read and reply to some emails while this movie was on.

I read that some have compared this to Wrong Turn. It's not the same.

Where you can see the small budget.

The actors and the story are not convincing.

All in all, a very weak film.

I gave this film a go as it had a little of the Blair Witch Project atmosphere about it and the intro at the start with the woman in red was quite well done. The rest is embarassing. Not talking about the acting which wasn't too bad although the characters of this film were not developed and devoid of personality. How can you criticise a film that cost 30,000 to make? I don't know but it seems 'off'. Apart from the intro the rest does not seem to have been developed at all. Cringeworthy stuff and hard to believe. In Ireland if you travel more than 2 steps forward unless you are in a national park you are going to hear or see a car. This can't have been a national park because of all the private property signs. So its just impossible to believe they are isolated in such a way. All without mobile phone coverage and no thought given as to what to do in the event of an accident even though they are dressed up in stylish hiking clothes they did not think about what to do in an emergency. Quite a dumb bunch of hikers. So why did they send off one person on their own from a group of 6 to get help and not two? I guess so that she can be terrifed later on. When you make characters dumb in order to force through a plot it ends up with characters that you want to see killed straight away to punish them for their stupidity. Reminds me of the League of Gentlemen on steroids and seems insulting to anyone who is not from Dublin. The whole thing looks like a a poor Rockshore beer commercial and lacks credibility and certainly lacks movement or pace. Actually painful waiting for each scene to end and move on to the next one.
