The Mooring

The Mooring was very superb and a fine thriller full of intensity. The cast and especially the girls were amazing in this film. The story was very suspenseful and kept everyone engaged. Directed by Glenn Withrow I give it a thumbs up, a true horror impact and beyond chilling. There were happy moments and sad moments a motion picture that focuses on many standards. Thomas Wilson Brown brought his character in a major turn of events, great work pulling off such a violent character. Hallie Todd I give her a glorified thumbs up, she was sweet, kind, and loving beyond the story being a like mother and role model to the girls, but the lost of her saddened the girls big time. The audience must watch to view how Hallie Todd's character "Nancy" influenced the girls. Brooklyn Tate and Bailey Morgan did good portraying the character "Mickey" it's very deep and sad to see Mickey's life changed in seconds and changed in the course of being gone for ten years. Richard shattered her life and stolen her Innocence, but in the end Mickey sees Richard for who he is and who he has always been and Mickey gets revenge on Richard for what he has done to her and these girls. Beyond this The Mooring is a must watch. The girls in this film were great and hope to see them in more films. Awesome work Glenn and the cast.

Director Glen Withrow's redefines horror and pushes the envelope of terror with his film, The Mooring. Building the suspense at a fever pitch, he creates an atmosphere of stark raving fright within minutes with a exciting opening sequence. The production values are first rate and the Idaho locations heighten the feeling of surrealism that permeates the film. An exciting cast of young faces are introduced in this motion picture and are sure to become major stars as a result of its impact. Their performances are outstanding and there isn't a false not in the bunch. The true horror in this film lies outside the realm of blood and gore and the focus is upon the terror of unexplained disappearance. Thomas Wilson Brown's downright breathtaking in the role of Richard, a disturbing turn that should catapult him to the stratosphere of the acting profession.

There are some ridiculous things in the story. The villain's purpose is not even clear. I didn't like this movie and I don't recommend watching it. Bad script and bad acting.

I saw a film that looked great, shot on a micro-budget with no name actors that all delivered superb performances. Thomas Wilson Brown (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) makes his long awaited return to film and delivers a chilling performance that is fabulously creepy!! Those that seek heavy blood and gore, you'll have to look elsewhere as Glenn Withrow opted to shoot more Hitchcock style with the violence than Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive). Now there wasn't a true protagonist, which would have been preferred, since most of us need a hero to pull for, but this was written by a first time writer while in high school. For this first attempt, I have to applaud this young lady. The performances and visuals keep this film interesting and a must see for movie lovers. Bravo...

Apparently IMDb requires me to create a really long review. No real character development going in this flick. I could end it there but rules are rules. The movie starts out giving us some nice cinematography. For some reason the gaggle gets on a house boat. Probably someone needed to take a tax deduction on a houseboat and someone else wanted to see their boat in the movies. Not much character development going on here. We could have seen the girls starting out to be in conflict with each other and coming together to defeat the psycho and using their smarts (sans technology) but "nooooooo!" The term "narrative excess" is defined in this film. I really tried to watch this film but I couldn't. I stopped, tried again,stopped tried again, fast forwarded the film, and tried again to no avail. The cinematography was good but it could not save this film.
