Lanier

I decided to support the creation of this movie and I did wonder why the cost was reduced but decided to purchase. From the beginning it gave the vibe of a B movie but decided to go ahead and continue watching. My expectation of an excellent historical lesson failed miserably right from the beginning. Bad actors, no real story line. I struggled to watch this one, fast forwarding here and there. I am so glad that I watched this alone because I would have been totally embarrassed making this a movie night with anyone. I believe this movie will be free to watch soon. I hope you're able to get through it if you have time to waste.

The synopsis for this 2023 thriller from writers and directors William Eric Anderson and Cindy Estenfanie Kunz-Anderson definitely sounded interesting enough to make me sit down and watch it. Well, the fact that it was a movie that I hadn't already seen definitely also played a part in my decision to watch it.

The storyline in the movie was not a particularly entertaining one, nor a thrilling one either. And with "Lanier" being a thriller, it was a swing and a miss from the writers. I have to say that when the movie ended I didn't really see that there was an actual point to the storyline, and that made watching this movie feel like a massive waste of my time.

I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, which is something that I actually enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in "Lanier" were good.

"Lanier" is not a movie that makes use of any particular special effects. Not that special effects would have spruced up the movie, as the storyline was so boring and pointless.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the ordeal.

If you enjoy a proper thriller, don't waste your time, money and effort on "Lanier". Some of us suffered through this boring ordeal, so you don't have to; you're very welcome.

My rating of writers and directors William Eric Anderson and Cindy Estenfanie Kunz-Andersons' 2023 thriller "Lanier" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Its just a very bad movie, amazing boring and acting is from another planet, directing is ,,, well, its none

Some superstar rated this with 10 so I guess he put this movie on the same level as Alien then ,what an insult , you can like this garbage if you want, and you can write a good rewiew about it , but its not 10

Just as I did not gave it 1 star even if I really think this was worst trash ever , but effort is ok they tried their best , so I can give an extra star cause of that

Yes its a low budget b movie, I respect that but the story is just so bad its insane, not sure why prime streaming this either , these kind of movies belong in a box selling dvds 1 buck each on some gasolin market.

I'm a huge horror/ Suspense movie person!

I loved that they captured the history of lake Lanier BUT I was really bored at the beginning, it started to get good and then BAM it ended... I felt they could have done a lot more. I know it's a lower budget movie. But how it ended and how fast made me go...WHAT?! I was a bit upset by that ending..

Other than it ending right when it started to get good, It was a good movie. I would tell people this and still recommend it.

Everyone has their own opinions though.

P.s 1,100 people were violently forced out in 1912, due to a " racial cleansing ". Soon, the town was flooded, to make lake lanier. For the memory of Oscarville, and the people who lived there.

The only good thing about this movie is the scenes of Lake Lanier. The acting was forced and the story didn't really make much sense. It's true there was some racism and I believe what happened in Oscarville back in 1912 may have been true, but it had nothing to do with the building of the lake. I'm not quite sure what the point of the story was. I know the area very well, and it was interesting to see the different parts of the lake that were filmed as it moved between scenes. I would not recommend renting this... wait until it's offered for free on one of the streaming services. It must have been a low budget movie for sure.
