The Mooring

I thought the realistic portrayal of text-addicted teen girls not knowing the first clue about survival from mindless, heartless, motiveless killer was actually smart.

TOO MANY movies with a mostly female cast tend to turn the girls into Rambo or some more mature capable version of who we were introduced to; its unearned. The girls tried their best!

The first part I thought WAS really well done as cell phones may one day be seen as sinister as far as apps go. And in THIS FILM the phones cameras etc are all taken away by the psychologist adult woman running this GETAWAY PROGRAM RIVERBOAT& CAMPING trip (for internet addicted teens).

If NO TECH RULE hadn't been part of this program they are in- service wouldn't be there anyway. That's what EVERY OTHER film does to remove the usefulness of cell phones in emergencies. But once they set up camp things go from unsettling when 2 methhead hicks/ murderers lay anchor right beside their cruiser boat, to terrifying in good speed.

I could not believe the adult left after seeing what was/who in that boat!

Sure if the methheads are with HER they cant possibly hurt the girls so WHY not?! Wow.

They are in a much faster vessel and of course they show their work to the girls so there's no doubt that the ONE adult is not useful.

This is when the annoying screaming begins. I realise its trying to show how horrified they'd be but they all made SO MUCH noise that half of them caused their own fates. I liked the explanation for the girlfriend of the mansonish ex-con. It made more sense she was turned into a wraith. Meth teeth were well established. I was annoyed with the screaming but then overall it was tense enough, despite there being 40 of this type of seek & destroy campers/ hikers/ car breakdown victims horror.

If you DON'T watch lots of these THIS MAY really creep you out! Also never scream while running!! And shhhhhhh.

This is your basic "killer chasing girls in the woods" type movie. We've all seen this style of movie before, where you're rooting for the girls to escape the psycho hunter while he picks them off one by one. But the difference about this movie is I felt confused the whole time, especially at the end. I think because it lacked a lot of dialogue, which was wasted on getting to know the teenage girls. We never really understood why the killing couple came after the girls in the first place. With their first kill in the film, it was clear that it was sadistic and that they were doing it for their own pleasure. But then it gets complicated towards the end, with the couple leaving me wondering, "What was that all about?" This movie had potential, but then got confusing when the story would focus on the killer's personality. I still made it all the way through, but honestly, by the end of the film I felt like I didn't really care one way or the other.

I saw a film that looked great, shot on a micro-budget with no name actors that all delivered superb performances. Thomas Wilson Brown (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) makes his long awaited return to film and delivers a chilling performance that is fabulously creepy!! Those that seek heavy blood and gore, you'll have to look elsewhere as Glenn Withrow opted to shoot more Hitchcock style with the violence than Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive). Now there wasn't a true protagonist, which would have been preferred, since most of us need a hero to pull for, but this was written by a first time writer while in high school. For this first attempt, I have to applaud this young lady. The performances and visuals keep this film interesting and a must see for movie lovers. Bravo...

Apparently IMDb requires me to create a really long review. No real character development going in this flick. I could end it there but rules are rules. The movie starts out giving us some nice cinematography. For some reason the gaggle gets on a house boat. Probably someone needed to take a tax deduction on a houseboat and someone else wanted to see their boat in the movies. Not much character development going on here. We could have seen the girls starting out to be in conflict with each other and coming together to defeat the psycho and using their smarts (sans technology) but "nooooooo!" The term "narrative excess" is defined in this film. I really tried to watch this film but I couldn't. I stopped, tried again,stopped tried again, fast forwarded the film, and tried again to no avail. The cinematography was good but it could not save this film.

What a JOKE!! What is it with IMDb being a portal now for student films??!! What is this? MySpace? I tried tried tried to watch this lame waste of digital media past seven minutes and absolutely couldn't do it. LOVE the reviews by family members and friends here also! Notice how they are aligned within 2-3 days apart even! NO plot - NO character backbone, NO motivation for NOTHING! A bunch of giggling little brats and scary illustration of our modern day i-phone app generation boneheaded teenager wannabee artsy UN-educated dweebs! Lets see... we can photoshop a poster to make it look "Real" nowadays, we can borrow 100,000 from the bank and rent "Digital cameras" using SD cards bought at BestBuy, we can ADVERTISE on Craigslist for wannabee actors or post on a college rec-room bulletin board for extras and POW!! 2013! You can make believe you have a movie yo! Ain't nobody made money with this excepting the 2500.00 that Netflix gives the production company for it's Life rights! HAAA! And THEY better watch out as if they keep buying this kinda trash, people are going to get wise and start using VUDU whereas REAL movies are streamed. Not this generic I can pretend to be Hollywood garbage!
