The Lost Tree

I watched this on Tubi for free. I had zero expectations or knowledge what this film was about. I found it to be an interesting storyline. I expected a very formulaic horror film with cheap scares. Instead I got a feeling of dread the entire time. It has a 70s horror feel to it. The lead actor guy does a decent job keeping you interested and you never quite know where this is going. It had some interesting twists and turns and I got this feeling of dread the entire time while watching. It has some good fx in it and nice wide shots. If they had a bigger budget I can imagine what they would have done.

Horrible acting, music, and effects. It had me laughing the whole time. I could barely make it through 10 mins. The storyline makes no sense, and the ending was sloppily but together. Maybe if this was in the comedy genre instead of horror, I might give it 5 stars...I've watched tons of 'B' horror movies on Netflix and not one of them was nearly as bad as this.

I was a hopeless film addict for years. I would watch anything and could always justify my penchant for low-budget and poor quality products by finding some kernel of redeemability in even the most tawdry production. Viewing this film along with The 5th Passenger (thanks to the Redbox) was the equivalent of reaching rock bottom; like mortgaging one's house for a poker hand or being sodomized behind a dumpster for a half-gram of heroin. I could no longer fathom continuing down the reckless path of film consumption. Even the peripheral view of a production company logo or the briefest flash of a title card will send me into violent paroxysms. I can attribute my newly discovered film-free lifestyle to the hundreds of fake accounts created on this once reputable website that falsely inflate the rating of terrible productions. Your work does not go unappreciated. I'm certain that your duplicitous actions, fully aided and abetted by the very people who own and operate this bastion of cinematic knowledge can help others as you did me in my quest to extinguish a lifelong passion for film.

This movie is a warm, steaming pile of poo. The acting is pathetic. Parts of the dialogue are obviously ADR and sound like they were recorded in a tin can. The special effects are bad even for a B movie. Michael Madsen and Lacey Chabert should be embarrassed for having anything to do with this disaster. I'm just glad it was only $2.99.

The folks who rated this high had to be friends or relatives of the actors/director. A comedy of bad acting, music score, writing, directing,cinematography,hair & make up, extras, lighting, fx, you name it. One word sums this mess up: cornball
