Walk Away

What on earth did I just watch?

Started good but quick decline. Some actors are good but couldn't save it

Would someone tell me what that ending was??? What the hell happened!!

I was browsing through Amazon video when I stumbled across Walk Away. I didn't have high expectations, in fact they were rather low. I was surprised of how well the film turned out. The acting wasn't the best nor was it terrible. The performances overall were mediocre, but had good moments. Especially during the climax. Dialogue didn't feel forced, a couple of moments felt odd, but were executed well. The cinematography and editing were good, but was slightly annoyed by the lens glare effects; although I'm not sure if it was unintentional or not. The blood effects at some moments looked a little unnatural and a bit pink, but the rest of it was pretty fine.

The writing is what surprised me the most. I was expecting it to be some cookie cutter, by the book horror. It wasn't. At first glance it may seem cliche, but it's a unique story line. I'm glad it was very psychological. Psychological horror can be hard to pull off, yet Walk Away did it well. It's much better than the lazy slasher rip-off garbage that screams, "I killed the kids next door after set the neighborhood drug addict on fire". In other words, it wasn't predictable and I'm happy to see that.

The soundtrack was definitely good and really well composed for the film. The audio editing was very good as well.

It may not be the best, but I recommend watching Walk Away if you're able to. I'd actually watch it again.

The premise is interesting, and for all those people here complaining about it - I am not aware of any other movie with this same plot.

The only thing that bothers me is that there were still a lot of things that the people in the cabin could try in order to leave but they didn't. They didn't even discuss many obvious strategies. Instead the film was more focused on their fears in the situation. That's fine, but I wanted a bit more. And the ending leaves open too many questions.

Absolutely undeserving of the low rating it has on IMDB. This movie is very good and well worth the watch. The premise is that a group of 5 people go to a cabin for vacation, and can't leave - if they try to, they get transported back to the attic of the cabin.

Now, there are things that that some people have taken issue with, that I was more than willing to overlook, especially in a lower budget film:

The blood effects - I only noticed what looked like 'bad blood' to me in one scene....the rest of it looked ok to me.

The acting - I actually thought the acting was good. I've seen some bad acting, and this wasn't.

A couple of things I noticed: There are some weird camera flares (I think that's what they are) throughout a lot of the movie. I don't know if these were on purpose to not. I thought at one point maybe they we intentional, but they seem to have no point,or at least nothing is ever mentioned about the,. On the other hand, nothing is show on film any more, so you'd think they've have noticed and fixed these immediately if they weren't on purpose.

I hate when a movie starts with a scene from later in the movie, and this one does that...it doesn't add anything, and it just gives away some of the plot needlessly. In this particular movie, they jump into the action quickly, so there's really no need for it.

I recommend this one!!!

-1 Star as We Begin with 1 guy with a manbun. Sorry but we don't do 'manbuns'.

-1 Star For The Towel Wearing Scene from the shower... like what woman does that, only brings a towel to the shower to change into when she's done in a house full of strangers ...okay yeah dumb!!!

Of Course it was MANBUN who short circuited!!!!!! Total Proof that we just should never do MANBUNS!!!

Then of course the GINGER snaps.....

-1 For a Useless Pointless Ending and an end to a Useless Pointless Movie....

Hard to find much redeeming quality about it at all.
