    A professional but not polished horror/thriller

    A slightly better than passable B grade movie

    The storyline isn't bad but never seems to be completely fulfilled. Nevertheless, the movie kept me interested till the end. So, let's start with the acting:

    The acting, overall, wasn't bad with the exception of a couple of minor characters. While professional, the acting lacked polish but was overall believable (for the most part).

    Plot development: Plot development was definitely lacking in this film with the main characters doing some truly unexplainable things in this movie. It seems like the screenwriter went out of his way to make the plot less than believable. From the scene where one of the characters inexplicably removes the car keys from his friends backpack (preventing escape of course) to the placement of a butchers knife in the bedroom, leaving a convenient, if inexplicable, murder weapon, the plot elements were not placed well. All of these things could have been accomplished without resorting to cliché' or unbelievable behavior.

    Photography: I thought this was the most professional part of the film. The camera work was very well done and allowed for some excitement in what could have otherwise been some rather boring scenes.

    Directing: I think the director did the best with what he had to work with.

    I think a slightly better script with better placement of plot elements to move the story along would have given this movie a much better rating but I still enjoyed it overall.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: Mr. Fields, what *do* you know about Sorrow Creek?

      Daniel Fields: Well I was kind of surprised to get your call this morning. I just thought that you'd know more than I would being from the area and all.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: Every child born to a woman in this part of the country has a granddaddy who tells him stories to keep him from wandering into the woods. Local myths and legends

      [sighs]

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: we need to know the truth.

      Daniel Fields: Well Sergeant, the truth is that no one really knows what happened in Sorrow Creek. You know families started to flee as early as a decade after its first founding in 1750, and stories of insanity, suicide and murder, they continued on until the town was fully abandoned in 1899.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: The entire town abandoned, just like that?

      Daniel Fields: Yeah, nine families left all that they owned, all in one day. So they'd rather leave everything behind instead of spending another night in these woods.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: And since then?

      Daniel Fields: Since then, a small salvaging company from a town nearby started hauling out most of the useful building materials sometime in the '20s. However that was halted when a four-man crew never returned home one night.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: Well what happened to them?

      Daniel Fields: Three were never found again, the fourth, he was found dead on the edge of town, bled to death. Most figured he was mauled by a bear.

      Sheriff Jonas Leerhsen: Most?

      Daniel Fields: His back was torn to pieces in 71 places. Rest of his body however, wasn't even touched.
