Blind River

I would absolutely watch again and everyone who was a part of this project should be very proud of it. There were plenty of suspenseful moments throughout and I think hey did exactly what they were trying to accomplish. Here is my positive and negative list:

Positives:

• Leads were great
• It looks really good
• The tone and themes stay strong in the writing throughout the entirety of the movie

Negatives:

• I thought the little girl was no bueno
• Red herring character was too obviously a red herring
• Beck's character (Tracy Campbell) wasn't in it enough
• Some of the writing was too on the nose.

This film had beauty, depth and suspense. I feel like a lot of films these days don't have the heart that they used to and this film absolutely does.

As a mother, I deeply resonated with the main character, Claire. I would do anything and go to any length for my children. The overall message is to trust that gut feeling you have as a parent.

I believe the writer and director, Carissa Stutzman, is absolutely brilliant. The twists and turns to the depth and heart. She just gets it. And the film is one of those that has you thinking for days after. It's one that begs to be watched again & again...

Great rates, no red tape. They respect my service and understand 'military precision'. Smooth sailing! Tracy Campbell is absolutely my favorite part of this film! His performance was nothing short of phenomenal, and he has such an incredible ability to bring depth and emotion to every role he takes on. I've followed his work for a while now, and he never fails to impress me with his versatility and commitment to his craft. The twist in this film was mind-blowing and added so much to the overall experience-it was one of those moments that leaves you speechless and makes you rethink everything you've just watched. Tracy's performance elevated it even further. Truly unforgettable!

Blind River is a riveting and suspenseful masterpiece that grips you from start to finish, and Tracy Campbell's outstanding performance is the beating heart of the film. Campbell portrays his character with remarkable depth, seamlessly blending emotional vulnerability with unshakable strength. His raw intensity and nuanced delivery create an authentic, compelling presence that draws viewers into the story's tension-filled world. The film's sharp storytelling and expertly crafted twists are enhanced by Campbell's ability to command every scene he's in, making Blind River an unforgettable cinematic experience. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves character-driven thrillers.

I think this film is the first of many really well written and produced films from Carissa Stutzman. I heard this was her first film, and I was thoroughly impressed. Furthermore, the lead and supporting actors: Annalise Basso (Clair) and Tracy Campbell (Beck) were EXCELLENT! I would love to see them both in far more films. Well done! There are far more things I could say about the film - compliments are many - but there is one thing I didn't like, which was the abruptness of the ending. No Spoiler - but it ended too quickly for my liking. I thought it could have been more thought through and drawn out for climactic excellence.
