The Christmas Cabin

This movie should be a wonderful addition to the seasonal lineup.

The script is no worse than many. It has all the necessary elements: a handsom, driven businessman, a fit and pretty woman, incredible mountain scenery, enforced isolation, and a legal situation guaranteed to produce very real conflict.

Sadly, the actors were stiff, the dialogue trite, and the deep conflict at the heart of the story just flattened out under the combination of the two. These two actors simply aren't leading-light quality at this point in their careers.

Lesson all filmmakers should know from the time they pick up their first camera: if there are only two people in a the majority of scenes in a movie, they need to have very strong acting skills to carry the emotional arc through every moment, whether they're speaking, reacting, or just walking across a room.

This must be the most uneventful of all the Christmas movies. Nothing much happens. Lighting a candle.

Worst Christmas movie ever! It will actually take you out of the Christmas spirit with the bad direction and the extremely unpleasant acting by the lead female. However, it's not totally her fault, the actors had a piece of crap script. I guess this was supposed to be like a Hallmark Christmas special filled with joy, but instead it turned out to be a Christmas nightmare.

Who was the knucklehead that approved this boring script?! There are student films out there that are far superior. The production company should never hire the casting director ever again, apparently he doesn't know what poor talent is when it's in front of him. Overall, this film rates a -D !

Two characters whom I couldn't see together romantically. The movie was very stilted and the storyline unbelievable. Female character exaggerated every emotion. Very bad acting.

The premise - two people with conflicting interests stuck together in a cabin in the mountains - sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat. There's no chemistry between the leads, and the woman character overreacted in almost every situation and was just plain annoying. And the actress wasn't any better. Since about 90% of the screentime, it's just the leads, it was kinda painful to watch.
