Green River

This has to be the worst movie ever. Are the two main characters retarded or something. I thought this entire movie was a joke. How could two people be so stupid? The writers make women out to be helpless retards. I was hoping after stealing the poor guys truck he would shoot the two main characters dead and the movie would be over. I mean, who funded this project? And who uses a remote control car lock on a convertible? The one who keeps popping Xanex is an idiot. The cell phone works in the river talking to mom, but not at the house. Between laughing and frustration in watching this movie. I have little faith in humanity and the movie business after watching this piece of crap. Anyone involved with the production of this movie should take a long hard look at their life's goals.

I'll preface this by saying I know these are amateur actors so I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt...

But I can't. This is a movie only in the sense that it's a series of shots that more or less follow each other, with what might be called dialogue. But the acting was some of the worst I've ever seen from the 2 leads, I wanted them to die immediately because they were so annoying. They constantly do things that no one in their situation would do if they were actually trying to survive. This is tbf something that alot of horror movies get wrong, but this movie gets everything else wrong too so don't excuse it.

What things you may ask??? Well there's the plot, I'd like to say the motivations make no sense, but we barely even know what they are. Character development does not exist in this movie. I have seen better in some video games like Resident Evil.

There is the mediocre camera work, it's like the director wanted to prove a point by having several similar shots in a sequence, but they appear choppy and repetitive and kind of irritated me. I kept waiting for it to get to the point and then there was no point. And like I said the characters constantly do things that make no sense, but they are supposed to be rational adults trying to survive in the wilderness??? Come on

It's disappointing because they did have an opportunity to make a cool movie that twisted the traditional "helpless girl lost in the woods running from killer" subgenre into something different where the roles are reversed. But then that attempt was probably discarded by what I assume was a new writer, except they tried to integrate it into what was already done and failed miserably. Well its one theory anyway. A different theory is this is the worst screenwriter in history.

Either way, I was mad at the people that made this, mad at Netflix for hosting it, and mad at myself for watching it. Wish I could erase this from my memory.

I hate badmouthing a movie, especially if it's obvious that whoever made it didn't have a lot of money to work with. But whoever made this movie, apparently had the means to get two misleading reviews posted here, and as a result I just watched this garbage, so I'm really annoyed.

At first I gave it the benefit of doubt and assumed the acting was intentionally weird, as opposed to awful. After about half an hour, I started fast-forwarding, because it was so boring. When I slowed down to see the "powerful scenes alone in the cabin", I was left speechless. What a waste of my time.

I opened my account at IMDb just to be able to post that this movie is the worst "shirt" ever made. Most of you must be aware Im using the word "shirt" to avoid censorship. Just remove the extra "r" PLEASE Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE...unless you want to torture yourself and spend part of you life when you could have been doing something else, like sleep or take a bath or have a picture of you own ass and watch it instead of this movie... anything else is more productive that watching this piece of "shirt". The worst thing is that i rented the movie and forgot to return it on date, and now have to pay Blockbuster a fine... Now I realized i have to write at least ten lines for the review, so I must say that Every single copy of this movie should be collected and burned for the sake of humanity. The director should have keep doing electrical works instead of trying to make movies. I must have a big sin to pay, thats why I choose this movie. Now Im paying all my debts with God. Please forgive all my bad actions, but don't ever let me watch this kind of movie again. Many years ago I watched "The Mosquito Coast" I thought it was a bad movie... how wrong I was,,, didn't knew that human minds can produce things like Green River..human can always get worse.

thanks

To the two reviewers who wrote positive reviews about this film: You're kidding, right? This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. I was bored on the ride to the woods. These two actresses were so unconvincing as friends, that I found myself wondering why Charisma (surely this name deserved at least an explanation) and Allison (neurotic, unattractive, annoying, and a really bad actress inspired a new word: "bactress") would even be friends, much less travel into the woods together for what? a vacation? We are never told. No character development, no back story, no story whatsoever, and a predictable plot that has been done to DEATH: what was this director thinking? Low budget was not the problem here. The setting was the most interesting part of the movie. I can't remember when I've seen worst acting. I actually laughed out loud at "Allison's" attempts to act, and that actress had way too much screen time. I was hoping Jack would kill her to relieve my suffering. She was too annoying to be psychotic, and considering that Jack had been hit by a pick up truck, shot, stabbed, smacked around, and deprived of food and water for an entire day...I laughed some more at the ending because it's supposed to be what...eerie? shocking? ironic? surprising? NO, it was NONE OF THOSE because it was HORRIFYINGLY DEVOID of explanation, so much so that it was just confusing and further evidence of bad writing. There was so much opportunity to make a good thriller here, and it appears to be made by someone who didn't even care, someone with A.D.D., or someone who has never done this before. And car alarms don't run down batteries because they shut off after 10 minutes or so, OR, an owner can turn the alarm off with a remote switch from 15 ft. away. Come ON. And "Charisma" is not getting off the hook either. "Wanna take a shortcut? It's not as intimidating as it looks." One second later, she's fallen, and is hanging on by her fingernails begging her "friend" Allison to help her. Did the director look through the lens at that scene and say, "Cut. God job ladies. SO suspenseful. So...scary." I would have smacked Allison around and asked her, "What took you so long, b*tch?" And what kind of numb skull would you have to be to climb all the way to the top of a hill after an arduous hike through the woods only to burn up what's left of the cell phone battery listening to somebody's mother explaining how psychotic and dangerous her daughter is. Wouldn't it make more sense to say:"HEY, call 911 and send them to XYZ location NOW." So I'd say the writing was bad, the acting was very bad, and the directing was very, very bad. I'm so appalled that somebody would waste $5 making this film, that I can't write enough to tell anyone who's wondering: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS DRIVEL. You'll just be mad at yourself later. And to those of you who made this movie: don't give up those day jobs just yet because I watched every minute of your film, and I still don't know if Jack had anything to do with the disappearances of one, much less all, those girls on posters. That's too many women posted in a public place to escape notoriety...so, why would 2 young women see that, know that, and then go deep into the woods in that very same area where one of them lost a sister years earlier? Dumb.
