It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
How in real life could someone be such a looser to make all those mistakes that got the characters in trouble over and over again? This is a lousy, but really lousy movie! Long time since I last saw something unpleasant like this thing. How come after being threatened by the brothers you throw away your gun? How come after fighting with the women, the main character goes down to the basement without first making sure she would not constitute a threat to him? And he didn't even look for a gun? And the list continues on and on, this was a really big disappointment to me, sorry. Not criticizing the actors here, they did what they could, but, who wrote this plot? Is this the best he can do?
"Timber Falls" is like a "Saw" movie without the charm. There are a handful of good things in this tiresome gore-fest, but nothing that can't be traced to older, better movies--well, nothing except the wonderful Beth Broderick, who is so transcendentally good here she might be playing Lady Macbeth inside "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 14". (The person connected with this film who seems most deserving of torture is the agent who persuaded her to sign on. Is this all she's offered these days?) It's been, what, forty years since "Deliverance"--hasn't the evil-hillbillies-attacking-pampered-city-folk plot line had its day? And is it some kind of law that the protagonists of every horror thriller need to make increasingly stupid decisions that make the audience hate them? The female lead here is required to trip and fall TWICE while fleeing her attacker (each time taking about twenty minutes to gather herself together again); the only fresh twist is that the male lead is even more stupid (he trips too, and also backs right into a bear trap.) Once captured, this unappealing couple does nothing but scream and beg for over an hour while the religious-fanatic villains subject them to witless, boring ordeals. If we cared about the leads, or if they were resourceful enough to try some psychological wit-matching (at least), there might be genuine suspense. As it is, there's nothing to look forward to but more and more (fake-looking) gore, topped by an ending that doesn't try for cleverness or plausibility. (If you can't have one, you need the other badly).
My comment towards this movie is that it was plain OBVIOUS! n a middle class film. I have great taste when it comes to horror movies but this was a huge mistake. I mean let me put it like this y does it always HAVE TO HAVE A SEX SCENE! N Y DO THE HEROES SURVIVE OR EVEN THE VILLAIN I MEAN THE HERO GOT BEAT UP PRETTY BAD N THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD HE SHED WAS ENOUGH TO GIVE TO THE NHS! They were interrupted the 1st time while having sex then what made it that certain that they weren't going to again was the girl that horny that she didn't learn the 1st time. The only bit I LOVED was the torture n the surprise of a 8 week pregnancy even doe they could have twisted things around by making either the hero die at the end or the girl only survives or they both die and the baby's born. There are so many lame scenes n there's simply no twist i would prefer watching resident evil 1,2,3,4, misery, or better yet THE REEKER now that's a film u must c. So all u horror fanatics who love a good story don't watch this movie and make the same mistake i did watch something else like Friday the 13th that will really blow your mind this is a film for those who love a good fairy tale but u could watch it n find out about how much i am right in this category, no hard feelings to those who disagree with me ;) its just not a scary twisted film as i expected
I just bought this movie and I loved it. It sort of can be compared with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, only this one isn't a total gore-fest and is more of a psychological thriller. A young couple Josh Randall(Scrubs and Pushing Daisies) and Brianna Brown(After Dark Horrorfest 2009 upcoming flick The Lost Tribe) decide to take a weekend off and go camping. They wind up crossing paths with a couple of red neck town drunks, only to find out that they are being stalked by a deformed maniac. They end up being held captive by a religious fanatic and his wife, who cant conceive and want the young couple to get pregnant and give them their baby. The couple end up turning the tables in a bloody fight for survival. This flick has some sweet kill shots, so I definitely recommend this to anyone.
