Haunted Trail

The opening actually gave me high hopes for this movie, then as soon as the credits were finished it immediately went to crap. Using the "scares" of the haunted house/trail within the movie for most of the horror elements doesn't make a good horror movie. It's actually frustrating as a viewer to just be watching the characters react to scares that we don't get to enjoy as even mild startles ourselves. The constant babbling and shrieking of the characters doesn't amount to decipherable or meaningful dialogue that moves a story forward in any way. Outside of the chaotic filming of disjointed house-of-horrors scenes, attempts at a storyline are pathetic. Some of these actors should never appear in front of a camera again, the skill level is that poor. And I don't even think there were writers. It's just so painful, in the worst possible way.

Never seen a more stupid movie in my entire life. The movie is just as bad as the song at the end. Doesn't make any sense. Why don't you go hide behind the chainsaws ??? Avoid at all cost.

This doesn't even work as a parody or satire. It's just bad all the way around, and yet... And yet, it got funded. AI could write a better script. The acting was subpar. There were some odd acting choices with all the actors, but especially with Desi Banks. The pacing was too loose and scenes that did nothing for the story lingered. Some of the camera shots were questionable, but overall, the biggest problem this movie had was a bad story. There was hardly any story there. The whole thing hinged on a lame jealousy premise, so lame that you don't learn about it until you get a lot of bad exposition at the end!

It's too bad. I wanted to like Robin Givens as a director. There are too few black female directors out there, but based on this film, it looks like she's not ready for the other side of the camera. Try again with better material.

Oh boy where do I start. I usually am very lenient with these type of movies. They usually are very cliche with bad acting and very predictable. I did not actually guess the ending but it was so ridiculous that it just was bad. The good part was the setting and to some extent the photography. It was kind of creepy and the acting could have been worse. However it could have been much much better with a decent script. All of the characters acted like fools running around and they made really bad decisions. Towards the end I thought to myself it wasn't a horrible movie but then the ending song happened and that was the clencher for me. It was the cheesiest song and ending. This is one of those movies I wanted to like but at the end of the day it was just bad. Even the title was stupid.

How this movie got a 5.0 rating I will never understand. The "acting" is laughably bad and the script isn't any better. The actor playing Zay is just plain annoying. He just will not stop yapping even though he has absolutely nothing to say. He's like a chihuahua on speed or something. And I think his IQ drops a bit more every time he opens his mouth, cause nothing of any substance ever comes out. After watching for about 40 minutes I wanted to kill him myself just to shut him up! I ended up stopping the movie instead as I just couldn't finish it. If you're considering watching this movie - don't. It's an hour and a half or so of your life wasted. Do something fun with your time instead - like watch paint dry... Believe me - you'll enjoy it more.
