The cinematography is amazing. The plot summary draws you in. Then I break my 10-minute rule, despite being bored to tears.

There are so many drama points which appear to be very essential; however there is no follow up. The scary part is not remotely interesting.

Like I said: the cinematography is amazing.

Not gonna lie, I found "Red Handed" curiously confusing. The film had my attention at first but it didn't take long for that momentum to wane, and soon turn to boredom. In principle the story reads as very interesting. However, the story's arc seems broken, and at times aimless. Not to mention that a lot of this film's plot trajectory is really predictable.

The acting, despite the film's flaws, is pretty tight. The cast is an attractive, mature group (aside from the obvious kid involved). It all does move a little too slow at times. The overall effect feels more of a psychological drama with moments of suspense. A couple of the characters seem to be overstated, and the female characters seem cliche.

The thrills and chills are really minimal. The suspense is mostly muted. "Red Handed" does have moments where the story starts to build up, but before some real adrenaline can kick in, the scene turns to more character based melodrama. Still there is a creepy atmosphere that hangs uneasily over the film.

Overall "Red Handed" offers a mild, mature psychological drama to movie fans. There is suspense, but it is weighed down by characters that feel ancillary, and exposition that seems to go on forever. Still, the film has an attractive cast that can act. Even with no real horror present some thriller fans may wanna check this one out. But horror fans will probably want to pass.

As agreed, slow a lot of the time, and only in last 10 mins is it interesting. Not a horror/thriller, more like a drama/psychological

Puzzled me at the end though? The women were integral to the story, but what happened to them at the end? They didn't tie that one up???

You have Caroline Vreeland in this and you don't unleash her Rhodesian Ridgeback. Now the scene is the creek with Caroline was the only decent part of this movie. Would've gave it a 3 if you unleashed Vreelands bazookas.

I agree with the other reviews I've read, this movie was confusing, slow at times, and lingered on scenes without any purpose. Acting was mediocre, despite Biehn and Madsen being veteran actor's it seemed more of a direction issue. Nonetheless, I really wouldn't classify this as a Thriller/Horror genre.

It can't be that bad It could not be more worst A producer's waste of money for a movie that has nothing to make you sit down and watch Skip it

Not a good movie to watch for especially except the scenes the locations I loved the most nothing new no story waste of time to watch these types of movie.

This one didn't do to well, but I loved it, despite it's literally ridiculous sexism (half naked porned out chix with gigundo boobies running around in rural Oregon river towns and nobody questions it). I loved it for it's air of sorrow, which is often missing from Horror genres; horror movies, after all, are first and foremost tragedies. I loved the family dynamics, and I loved the actor who played Uncle Pete like a giant compressed lump of hurt. I loved the cinemetography of the Oregon Coast, beautiful and full of damp dread. Most of all I loved how the script knows that there's not that big a difference between a cult and a family; both shape your reality, both hold you tight, and both can mutilate you permanently. Two scenes had me crying. Great flick.
