The Alpines

Would you like to sit through an hour and thirty minutes of really poorly written, middle-school level relationship drama, with a terrible payoff at the end? Well this one's for you.

This is not a great movie, but it's not the worst thing i've ever seen. It's fine. The acting was meh, and the story was non existent, ending in an undeserved shootout climax.

Then i read that it was made on a 10k budget, in 2 weeks, with a crew of 3 people. That fits, and for that, it's an achievement, of sorts.

It doesn't deserve all the hate it's getting, but it deserves none of the praise it's getting either. Watch it, don't watch it, you'll forget about it the next day.

You know a movie is going to be bad when the camera is focused on something which it will not reveal for at least 5 minutes with all the characters staring at the wall in horror and shock. And after they are all terrified and want to leave asap.... they don't.

In short, several college friends are invited to a summer lodge. Everyone still wants to sleep with each other, the relationships are completely not credible, and the writing is written like it was done by high school teenager. This is really dreck. The actors had a hard time selling it because the script just is a prolonged excuse to keep suspense for 90 minutes with nothing actually happening until it hits its final reveal. Don't waste your time or believe the numerous fake reviews. Almost 166 reviewers unanimously agreed with a 7/10 rating and that never happens.

I literally saw the cameraman in the reflection of the window in one scene. I give it two stars because I appreciate trashy movies. This wasn't entertaining though. So bad that, unfortunately, it is bad.

Prepare the most obvious fake punches, peak overacting, and a script that could rival the one you wrote in high school.

If you're hoping for scares, thrills, or any kind of tension, I'd recommend seeking another movie.
