The Canyonlands

It's definitely not a masterpiece, but it's a solid 4/10. Acting wasn't as bad as reviewers are saying. The social media girl was a bit annoying I will admit. Enjoyed it until the ending and after that it went a bit downhill. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but if you're just looking for a popcorn movie and nothing else to watch I'd say go for it.

Why are we still writing movies accusing the only black characters in them of hallucinations and being absolutely brainless because they smoke weed? Why is this a false narrative that we are still, still in 2022 having to hear and see in movies? By about the fourth time someone accused this character of seeing things, hearing things, and even being a killer "cause he smokes weed" I turned it off. Bad writing. Bad bad writing. Bad acting. Bad story. Yuck.

Normally I stop watching bad movies within a few minutes but this one suckered me in. I wish it hadn't. The characters were shallow and stereotypical and it was very hard to believe that the contest winners had all taken an hours long drive in the same vehicle to get to the rafting launch without even introducing themselves to each other until they get out upon arrival. Still, the movie's premise had promise so I continued watching where I normally would have called it quits. The further the movies progressed the worse it got but I stuck it out just to find out what all the flashbacks were about. What a nonsensical disappointment. Just... wow. Maybe this will go on to be a cult film but I doubt it. I watch the classic Attack of the Killer Tomatoes again the other day for the first time in decades and it was light years beyond Canyonlands. Perhaps I'll watch Canyonlands again in 35 years and see how it has aged. It did have promise after all.

Gave a two rating for the beautiful scenery, acting was terrible. And Mick Fleetwood has let himself go a bit.

I love slashers. Even the B-slashers, that's why I watched this one.

The movie itself is pretty bad. Acting is amateurish. Fx'S cheap and it is full of cliches and predictable. So, overall a Z movie.
