Too much of everything

So much average

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

There have been times in history when people have sacrificed themselves to save their fellow men from evil. If I ever attain sainthood, it will be because I watched this film so that others will not have to.In a word, this movie is pathetic. If, for some masochistic reason, you still think you should give it a try, then watch the scene that introduces the movie. If you think you want to see more of the same, or even more depraved, nonsense, then feel free to continue. Also, consider checking yourself into a psychiatric hospital, because you need serious help.This is a C movie that strives, but fails, to be a B movie. The acting is so bad, it's laughable, which is why the film got a 2 instead of a 1. The director, who is not worth naming, must have been vaguely inspired by David Lynch's, Blue Velvet. There are Frank-like moments, actors, dialogues, and scenes that those who know the film will recognize. But this is like comparing Dr. Dre to a neurosurgeon.Though many in this movie could be nominated for worst actor, my vote goes to the girl who plays the psychiatrist. How low is your budget if this is what you have to settle for? I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that this is the director's girlfriend. If that's the case, then there is justice in this world.

Gobsmacked! I've seen some pretty ropey films in my time - but this was undeniably the worst film I've ever had the misfortune to come across.It was sooo shockingly atrocious I felt compelled to create an account in the hope that may I spare some other poor, bored soul the horror of this travesty of motion picture. You'd be better off listening to long, haggard nails being scratched across a blackboard whilst sticking pins into your eyes! There are so, so, sooo many terrible things about this film I don't even know where to begin! Suffice to say - a classroom of kinder-gardeners could of come up with a less hackneyed, more plausible plot and the furniture in their classroom would of provided a less wooden cast. Seriously awful. The mind boggles at the hours, money and effort wasted on this steaming pile of so-called cinema. What's more disturbing is the plethora of good reviews on this site. Either, this film infects a large proportion of it's viewers with some sort of mind-numbing, intellect-ravishing perception virus, or, more likely - the brain-dead people responsible for giving birth to this inbred abomination of a film are trying to big-up their celluloid catastrophe. Either way, if you have any semblance of a brain cell and wish to keep it that way - avoid like the plague!

If I were sitting around on a Saturday afternoon I would not reach for this type of film. I don't like being on the edge of my seat. I do well with documentaries, fantasy pics, history, science, psychologically stimulating things, not really into being scared or having my nerves on edge. This film is creepy. I like how the camera was used, interesting angles and perspectives that caught my interest. I learned some things about camera work by watching it. The director was also capable of creating an atmosphere of tension. Good edits, timing and camera work made that possible. I paid attention to the light captured in the dark scenes which was important for me as well as the shots where the camera is in motion. I like to analyze how I feel when watching those scenes and I think they were successfully done in this film. The casting was really good. Some of those faces were perfect for helping me to believe the story was actual. As I said it is not my favorite kind of film so the lighting, casting, sets, camera work and edits became more important and I think these things made up for the fact that the story line is not one I like visiting.

Some of "Deer Crossing" will put off a lot of people, mostly women. The good news is that this movie goes pretty far on the exploitation scale to please hardcore fans of low budget crime/horror fans. It's like a Jack Ketchum story line, mixed with classic moments of pathos with rich characters that will not be forgotten. "Bad Day at Black Rock" and "In the Heat of the Night" are inspired and classic movies that are reworked into something new and frightening. A mother and young boy get lost on the way to grandmothers house. An accident brings them captive by a real monster, Lukas Walton. A farmer with a perverse habit of collecting women for his psycho-sexual pleasure. After years of torture, and raising the young boy as his own, a retired lawman comes to sleepy Carvin County for closure to this lost case. A former cop that does not fit in (yes, he is black and Carvin County is a hotbed of racist white folk). The local sheriff has his hands full with the local thugs and bikers that rule this nightmare town. A drug addict sheriff is a puppet to a lady pimp and her lunatic henchman. But Luke Walton is connected somewhere in the mix, with an interloper snooping around his homestead. Christian Jude Grillo lays it all out on the screen. No holds barred! That's his style, and his first film "Booley" was a prime example of his mindset. It's off the charts with the brutality. The jewel in the Cracker Jack prize bag is K.J.Linhein as our real life monster, Luke Walton. A asset to making a great movie is it's villain, and Grillo found a great actor here. Filling in the main role of troubled hero is Christopher Mann (Booley alum) as the cop. Excellent support from "Hellraiser" star Doug Bradley as the corrupt lawman in the way. Tom Detrik (Booley's titular star) brings a fine turn as Dick (one-eyed loony with a long knife) and guest star Ernie Hudson in an extended cameo. The movie is not perfect.... and some performances are miscast, but it does not hurt the movie. Down and Dirty, for it's worth. Grungy scenes will make you squirm.
