The players were legit not doing their lines right or had any depth. The story line was good and props to the plot twist at the end. But, really? Y'all repeating lines and almost seemed like there were empty prompts. Get you some convincing actors.

Crappy dialogue. The most redeeming quality was that the bad guy was at least fairly vicious. Not really that great on the acting part but the story and the ending was......hmmm, well mediocre really.

Look, I'm a B film, independent, low budget, FF movie buff. We all know what we like to find. Those little gems that come out of nowhere like Falling Uphill, Survive the Shallow Shoals, Bad Ben series. But this one? What a mess. Horrible acting, pieced together and rushed. Awful dialogue. Honestly I didn't finish it because it was just a waste of time. I'm not seeing at all what those who gave a positive review have said. Pass this one. Nothing to see here.
This is a camping slasher film and we know David (Brian Cory) is the killer from scene one and then a year later in scene two where we also see the camera man's shadow. Very amateur mistake. Three couples go camping and geocaching in this same area and they meet David a seemingly nice guy who had a thing for Tracey (Sarah Leo) in a flashback that didn't work out. Now why he feels he must slice people, I didn't get the connection.
There is minor drama within the group that was not well written or performed. Ashley Sullivan is awfully cute but can't seem to make one line convincing. The sound track bored me as much as geocaching. The location is a real setting in California. The Mormon Emigrant Trail is famous to hikers. It is the path taken by Mormons who left Sutter's Ranch and went back home to Utah after the Gold Rush. While interesting, it didn't make the film or geocaching any more exciting. The killer was wimpy. I am not sure how he never got overpowered. Twist ending, if you make it that far.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The killer was just about the wimpiest, nerdiest guy ever, I'm pretty sure my wife, who weighs 118 lbs, could kick his skinny butt. No scares, no story, laughable killer, really bad blood/gore effects. Any positive review on here is from someone involved with this turd.
Side note: with all the drop dead beautiful women trying to become actresses, why is it that every crappy movie on netflix or Amazon has totally unattractive female stars?

I'm someone who loves browsing Prime for indie horror movies. Some are hits, others are misses, and this is a miss. The acting is terrible as others have mentioned, however, I will say the villain really gave me the creeps. Not a big scary guy, just a creepy two faced incel/fake nice guy type. But I never understood what his motive for killing people was... because his girlfriend died accidentally? Didn't make sense. I don't totally regret watching it, if you're bored, it's only 86 minutes. There is no nudity or sex. They had the opportunity to show the girls in bikinis and didn't even take it... When your movie is this bad, a little skin never hurts.
The biggest pile of crap I've seen. The acting,characters,story and kills sucked. This isn't worth watching.

For an out in the woods picture, I enjoyed this very much. In fact, I watched it twice once alone and then with my wife because I wanted her to see it. The bad guy was really good and the photography was good for an Indie picture. The Acting was good for an Indie film. If you're into Forest Horror you'll enjoy this one.
If you grew up watching Friday the 13th, Phantasm, Elm St. and other early John Carpenter films then you have to see "Capps Crossing"! It's a great indie film with a cast that has enough character to make you care when the killer slowly picks them off one at a time. Brian Cory does a thoroughly convincing job of playing a loner psycho as terrorizes a group of campers stuck stranded in the wood for the weekend. Lots of good gore and creative writing!
Horror fans are their own bag of nuts. They pick away at every carcass their genre has to offer, only to hate on 90% of what they're fed -- yet they come back the next nightfall, resuming their bloodlust undeterred. "Capps Crossing" is a shrewd slab of homebrewed indie horror setting up camp in the remaining 10% space. It's tailor-made for the genre enthusiast with an appreciation for one of horror's most time-tested truisms: There's nothing more serene than the mountainous woods by day, and nothing more ominous than that same thicket by night -- particularly when the classic slasher motif is woven throughout the trees, and complimented with surprising and likeable characters, creative plot twists, and all the prerequisite gore one demands when we roll this kind of flick.
Six hikers embark on a weekend camping trip. As they set up shop, they become privy to the dark tale of David, played with the impact of a small atom bomb by Brian Cory. It comes to pass that David may well be out in them there woods, and hasn't quite been himself since the untimely death of his once-girlfriend. With that, the sun goes down, the walls close in, and we're off and running.
We soon learn the MeToo movement hasn't yet found David. And why would it have? As killers go, he's quite the misogynist, and mentally off the chain six ways from Sunday. David eschews silence in deference to a truly remorseless brand of hate, taunting his hapless victims with a seething bitterness. He's great, and the creative team feeds us just enough of David's backstory to validate the origins of his diseased mind: This is a killer with some lively dimension, and the same can be said of the film itself. "Capps Crossing" is able to deliver great indie horror by building its own palpable nuances over the top of the genre's most classic tenets. - Was this review of use to you?

Capps Crossing really nails the essential fears of camping outdoors. The movie has times when it gets very creepy and suspenseful. The locations are beautiful and the horror elements and gore are done really well. Strong recommendation for fans of the genre !
