The Canyonlands

Characters so purposely annoying I loved watching them get picked off one by one. That villain tho...gonna see him in my nightmares.

Sounds deliciously exciting doesnt it... but its not, its a horror movie but it aint proper horror either, rather a 101 how to make mistakes when making movies is my best description. it has an undertone of indian vs the new settlers from the brave old world, without any touch of real myths or history.

i shall not tear this project apart, just say that cheating deserve beating because they do not know dark filming, and with a plot thats darkdepending its gross. there are clear stary stary artifiscial sky where the ''screen''(green,blue etc) is clearly visible is very very poor production.

there are two things i can positively mention, that is great drone aerials of the natural scenery(in daylight), and a pretty decent film music. the rest is just amateuristic rubbish without any contact with the spiritual corners of oneself. use a bit fantasy, and train the dawgs better next time.this is a sleeping pill for the grumpy old man, that doesnt use the single star unit too often...

What the hell happened to HORROR MOVIE'S these days, I mean what happened to the good ol horror film maker's like Wes Craven and Rob Zombie and not to mention Stephen King, what the hell these guys die off or something!

I love slashers. Even the B-slashers, that's why I watched this one.

The movie itself is pretty bad. Acting is amateurish. Fx'S cheap and it is full of cliches and predictable. So, overall a Z movie.

Normally I stop watching bad movies within a few minutes but this one suckered me in. I wish it hadn't. The characters were shallow and stereotypical and it was very hard to believe that the contest winners had all taken an hours long drive in the same vehicle to get to the rafting launch without even introducing themselves to each other until they get out upon arrival. Still, the movie's premise had promise so I continued watching where I normally would have called it quits. The further the movies progressed the worse it got but I stuck it out just to find out what all the flashbacks were about. What a nonsensical disappointment. Just... wow. Maybe this will go on to be a cult film but I doubt it. I watch the classic Attack of the Killer Tomatoes again the other day for the first time in decades and it was light years beyond Canyonlands. Perhaps I'll watch Canyonlands again in 35 years and see how it has aged. It did have promise after all.
