The Ruck March

I saw this pop up on fawesome and decided to check it out. It's found footage, which I've only seen a few of those types of movies. Some were good, some were laughably bad. I decided to give this a shot.

This was such a fun concept. Some of the actors...well...you can tell that they are not actors, but all of the main people involved did a good to excellent job. Go in knowing that this isn't big budget, and you're in for a good time. A couple of scenes I let out a verbal cuss word because it caught me off guard. MOST of the movie is actually feasible which adds to the value.

Fawesome as strange places for add breaks, so heads up.

Good lord this thing was horrible. Bad acting, no likable characters, no back story, very very low production values.

I don't even know why they had RUCKS in the movie, everyone was carrying their own backpack anyway. I've seen RUCKING documentaries, they were WAAAAAAY more entertaining. They all could have just been on a hike, RUCKS added NOTHING to the story.

Loved the way they put static and electronic glitches in the film itself....as if it didn't already look like it was low budget and cheaped out on filming, sets, actual actors and actresses.

Honestly looks like it was filmed in one day

It was really bad, everyone involved should be banned from making or being involved in any way with another movie.

Bare in mind, this film was made on a super low budget, and the makers often hire veterans and alike as cast members. Yes, you can tell, but you need to watch this knowing that.

I think they did a great job. You started to get an inkling that something wasn't quite right, and they did well creating the intensity when it all took a turn! Even after that happened, I still wasn't expecting it to go where it went!

If you are into indie horror, it's worth a watch for sure. It's hard to give low budget films a score, because you really can't be comparing them to hollywood films.

However, this one certainly makes you think twice about going hiking with strangers!

I actually only made an IMDB account so I could warn my fellow horror addicts of just how terrible this movie is, in every possible way. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would produce such a pile of garbage.

I could understand if it was just a ridiculous, unserious low budget movie that wasn't even taking itself seriously. But it wasn't. It had no humor, no plot.... Nothing!

Thanks Michael Rock for taking an hour from my life where I could be doing something more constructive.... like picking my nose. I honestly don't know how you sleep at night knowing that my 4 year old could have written a better storyline and put more thought into it.

I genuinely thought this movie was so badass. It wasn't too long or drawn out, and kept a great pacing to it the entire time! I'm really hoping for a sequel because I was NOT expecting the end!

The clever details added as well are awesome, and this movie absolutely has a great rewatch value. The fact that the director and the rest of the cast actually went out into the desert to get this film executed shows the commitment to the realism.

This movie was featured at UFF8 and absolutely deserved to be!

If this movie has taught me nothing else, it's the fact that staying inside and avoiding fitness is the way to go, LOL.
