The Bad Shepherd

I enjoyed it. It's very watchable and morally interesting. Kind of a "what would you do?" scenario.

No spoilers here. It's a bit far fetched but what movie isn't really. It has good back stories that help to form the present story of 4 "friends" that go on a hunting trip and suddenly find themselves in a situation. I like how the movie immediately starts with no boring introduction. It gets right into it so it pulls you in from the start. Yeah, there are some goofs...one guys hair changes 3 times in the final scene for no reason. Oh, speaking of that, each character has a haircut right out of GQ magazine and beards...lots of beards.

There is a twist at the end which ties the whole movie together bringing it not only full circle but even back to before the circle.

It's only an hour and a half without much useless filler. Ignore the 1 star reviews. My 7 star was a bit generous but I enjoyed watching it.

This movie starts off bad and gets worse. So many things do not make sense. First, they are just going to bury a body in the woods in the middle of winter like the ground isn't frozen? They just happen to have all the tools with them?

The way the whole police interaction went was over the top. Thinking they would just shoot an officer in the open and noone is looking for him?

The "bad guy" shows up and is the obviously the bad guy. I mean he is in a black turtle neck and sports coat. So 90s and cheesy. It starts off teasing of vampires or something, and not in a good way.

The acting was terrible. It feelslike a bad 90s movie in so many ways. None of the characters are likeable.

If thus is a ruse they repeatedly use, why don't people know that peopleare missing and dying in high numbers and avoid going there?

I do not recommend. It was not physiological and not a thriller. Honestly I only finished it because it was background noise an i wanted to confirm I was right about the premise I called 5 minutes in.

This is REALLY bad. The movie never ended up making any sense to me. You never really get the backstory of the lady from the short beginning of the movie or how/why she was injured.

The "leader" of this 4-man pack is just evil from their intro with no explanation of why he's the way he is; it just makes you hate him from the beginning and anxiously wait for him to be picked off.

The main villain (also the director), come on man! That "twist" in the end was a complete joke. Without spoilers, How the EFFF were you walking around in sunlight the entire time if you were what you were? THAT arc would have made for a way more interesting story rather than waiting until the last 15 mins to reveal it. You owe me for the 90 mins I just wasted; I should include my cash app. I'd talk about the acting but it really wasn't as bad as some of the other reviews say, but the non-cohesive story is the tragedy of the movie.

This movie starts off great. It is very suspenseful. I started it on the edge of my seat and through most of it, but the ending really was disappointing to the point I feel like I wasted my time today watching it. I do not recommend this movie. I recommend you save your time. I am definitely hitting dislike on netflix. Because I do not want to watch films like this anymore. The character that plays the man going after his evert property it's frustrating because you don't know who he is. He could be from the mob. He could be an undercover cop. You just don't know and I feel like that should be a part of the movie knowing who that man is.

I disagree with the 3/10 reviewers comments. I liked that the inciting incident happened almost Immediately. I thought this movie was interesting. I had interruptions while watching it but I kept coming back to it because I wanted to see how things unfolded. And I also liked that the characters weren't entirely coloured in. It added to the suspense. I thought the plot was somewhat predictable but I enjoyed the twist at the end, which I had not seen coming. I thought the acting was very solid and believable. One of the actors is my friend's son, which made it even more fun to watch. And because I watch a wide variety of movies, I think my opinion is valid. I have many other movies to compare it to.
