Rows

Ok, this might be totally my fault. I like to knit and stuff whilst watching anything so its entirely possible i just didnt pay enough attention. But, a cornfield is really a difficult thing to make interesting. I mean, its definitely been done before, but this time... This would be immensely improved with tighter editing and maybe more as a 45 minute episode of a tales from the crypt type deal. Its interesting enough that i stuck to the end waiting for answers, but the journey was pretty boring and the end still befuddled my stupid cracker mind. It was really difficult to have any sympathy for the 2 female leads as there was no development and no insight into anything they were doing. It did have a dream like kind of quality to me, like when you're dreaming and weird stuff is happening and you just roll with it, but other than that its pretty non memorable.

I tried, dang it!!!!

I couldn't comprehend how someone could give this movie a great or even good rating as it is beyond bland. I wouldn't say its terrible, I would say it is salt ad pepper seasoned chicken BLAND. The actors are robotic, the story is meh and the production is whatever. There are people that could make a better movie with a cell phone. I wasn't at all invested in any manner but not terrible enough to just turn off, I was curious about the ending so I rode it out. The ending like the rest of the entire project was "meh".

Title of this review is an apt summary. The cornfield is lovely and intriguing in ts vastness any mystery, but beyond the occasional look at its vast landscape, there is NOTHING here if interest. The "plot" is a mishmash of undeveloped ideas with no character development. Fake reviewers giving it pumped-up rating should be ashamed of themselves...bu they obviously have no shame.

Rows is really really scary...but don't take my word just watch the trailer, if you can. I swore I'd never watch another cornfield scene after Joe Pesci gets it in Casino, but Rows tops that and somehow made me break my word and sucked me in...the setup is naturally paced and draws you in, and then the house and creepsters and those rows...rows and rows of corn stalks and the crazy stuff starts building...I won't spoil it but if you are a fan of the genre do yourself a favour and see Rows. Production values quite amazing for an Indie film, this could be a $15 million budget and you wouldn't know the difference, very professionally shot I'd say and a booming soundtrack (when needed). I was blown away by Rows and I'm not a huge fan, to tell you the truth, of the genre, maybe it effects me too powerfully, I'm the type that doesn't get to sleep after Texas Chainsaw Massacre etc., so I sample only occasionally, and Rows delivered...

Rows is a heart pounding horror flick that's well filmed and crafted with lots of care. It's amazing just how much work goes into any movie at all. The setting made for a very claustrophobic environment. I'm a sucker for a good run through a corn field so that always catches my attention (maybe it's my love of the movie Signs).

The film gives you the twists and turns you'll want as well as enough thrilling moments to satisfy someone looking for an entertaining flick to enjoy on a night on. Keep an eye on these filmmakers as they continue to advance in their careers!

Grab some pizza, plant yourself on the couch and enjoy some indie filmmaking fun!
