Boyne Falls

Why somebody would make a movie like this one is a mystery to me. The story has been done many times before so if you're not going to make a much better version why bother? The whole story is full of cringing bad decision making, as well from the 'good' ones as from the 'villains'. The action scenes are just ridiculous and look really amateuristic, but the worst part is the acting, that's just beyond bad. Why did I watch this? I should have rewatched Deliverance (1972) instead, that's basically the same story but there you had a class movie instead of this waste of money, energy and time.

Such a bad movie. I have never seen anything worse than this one so far

Everyone's drunk at a family reunion when Timmy mentions he read about a guy who won a genuine movie camera on eBay. Sally says she's always wanted to be in a movie. Bobby Sue and Carl think she'd be a perfect leading bad guy. Everyone else chimes in. If only they had a script. Wait a minute. Aunt Clara wrote a Sunday School presentation. Who wants to be the director?

Next thing you know, you're watching it. It's called Boyne Falls.

One star for the scenery. One star for the main bad gal's radio message where she uses the f bomb five times in ten words. One star for it mercifully ending after only 84 minutes. Three stars.

A movie about some young city guys who venture into the woods and encounter some scary creeps. I know, you've seen it all before.....many, many times. True, but you haven't (I assume) seen it visualized like BOYNE FALLS. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next .... it doesn't.

Worth (subjective I know) seeing how some independent filmmakers can take an overly done concept and turn it into something original. Sort of like what CABIN IN THE WOODS did (without a multi mil budget).

I was surprised by the acting. My only complaint about the acting was the character Dominik, played by Axel Harney. I felt he wasn't successful at showing a large range of emotions. Overall though, I felt everyone did a great job. The plot felt well thought out with no holes, and although it did lack originality it still held my interest throughout. I could find no holes in the plot and found it suspenseful enough. The characters were fleshed out & the movie went along at a good pace. I was a bit confused by the purpose of some, but not all, of the flashback scenes. Many times it appears that they don't know how to end a movie so it abruptly ends and leaves one asking, "is that the end?". This movie wasn't like that. The ending made it very clear as to what happened.
