Blue Jay

The only thing amazing about this film was the mountains, wilderness and snow peaks. Otherwise it's the worst movie and I would not recommend you waste your time

Outside of the wishy washy conclusion, Blue Jay is a by-the-numbers indie-made survival-thriller of crazy mountain men stalking and terrorising a newly acquainted couple on a hiking trek.

It's well-made with a minor experimental touch here and there. Beautifully pristine mountain locations are strikingly photographed, and solid lead performances by James Landry Hébert and Sara Lindsey (who also co-wrote the story) anchor this one. I think the film was trying for some metaphysical aspects (the fascination for Lindsey's character seems much deeper for the leader of the mountain men), but I found those scattered elements incoherent than clear-cut.

OK, all those that rated this movie at one or two haven't really seen a bad movie. This is not that bad! The movie introduces you to the characters and slowly builds into a relatively tense thriller.

The movie is far from perfect, and there will be several times your question their decisions. But it's a survival movie, and they all make stupid decisions!

If you were looking for a high end, Hollywood movie, look elsewhere, but if you are looking for something to give you some thrills, give it a shot. But before warned, the ending sucks. Not sure why they can't make movies with legitimate endings and a good conclusion anymore.

This movie seemed pointless, and very frustrating. Would not recommend.

Excruciatingly pointless, storyline makes no sense and culminates into an ending that can only make you go huh?
