After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I am going to assume that you have not heard of director Jacob Ennis. Ennis has been behind the camera for a short period and was behind the camera for 2007's Stash and the documentary Haunted Kentucky: Spirits of the Bluegrass in 2009. His latest effort is Red River, a horror film that still might not put Ennis on the map, but a film that definitely has its merits thanks to a unyielding parade of the red stuff horror fans cheer for. Red River is set in Kentucky tells the story of the Thatcher family headed by Roland Thatcher who has an innocent persona and has to use an electronic tool that enables him to talk. But Roland is pure evil at heart and with his F'd up son who lives in a squalor of an abode they prey on wandering hikers or persons that wander too close to their shacked dwelling. I wish I can offer more of a plot. But there isn't much more to discuss. There is a reporter that is hot on the missing persons stories in the area, but Red River is mostly just dumb ass individuals finding themselves in the presence of the Thatcher's where they eventually meet their demise in annoying and grotesque fashion.The first half of Red River was incredibly annoying. None of the characters were interesting and the dialogue was suspect carried out by inferior actors. So basically, it was your typical independent horror film. But by the time the second half rolled around, I finally got it. Sort of. The nudity and the blood flowed freely and the 70's exploitation film feel was more evident in the final reels. But that still didn't lift Red River towards an overall rating close to a recommendation. Audacious – yes. Grotesque and cannibalistically brutal – sort of. But good? Hardly. There were more scenes that I thought should have been left on the cutting room floor than I can count. And some of the one-to-three line actors couldn't even carry off simple sentences with conviction. So that leaves Red River on the disappointment list. Ennis might have had fun putting the film together (chopping people up and yelling 'more blood' from the director's chair has to be fun). But we sure didn't have quite as much fun watching it.www.killerreviews.com

*some spoilers* (although the whole film is a spoiler)This has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. It seems a bunch of people in some southern town in the US got their video camera out and had a go. ALL of the acting is worse than amateur. The local talent from this ... town/ location were all involved. All toothless overweight cow-hicks with nothing better to do than 'huck' 'huck' at the camera. The use of naked girls and their teenage boyfriends was completely wrong. They lent nothing to any thin semblance of a story at all. The mute with the voice box was inane.Once the female reporter started running around with a halter neck dress and a black strapped bra on I stopped the movie.What were they thinking?

It doesn't worth a minute to put for this movie. Very low level and disgusting. Horror movie is not just putting rotten image but also it should carry a concept. I'm really sorry for my time which I spend for this movie. It doesn't worth a minute to put for this movie. Very low level and disgusting.

From the first seconds you can easily tell that this is low budget. Somehow this one was promoted very well and became available all over the globe. If you want to see something with suspense than you are watching the wrong flick. The acting is wooden and some things are really laughable, for example, girls are being caged. When one survivor is trying to get the girl free he can't do it. You can easily put your feet against the chicken wire and break it. When the killer goes for the girl he just picks up the cage like nothing. It weighs maybe a few kilo's. On the other hand, the editing was clearly done from different takes. The colors were sometimes too blue in the black level, the reason is simple, they didn't made a white/black balance with the camera's. But then you can do color grading while editing, and that's also not been done. So don't watch it for the story but if you want to see some bloody shots than this is for you, sadly, it is never on the gory side, well, maybe the removal of one tit, but the red stuff do flows. And for the perverts out there, yes, there is a lot of juggs coming on screen. But just watch the sex scene, the way she faked it, well, I would definitely dump her into a red river.
