Body at Brighton Rock

Ok, as someone that watches every horror and suspense movie that comes out, this was way better than some of the big budget garbage I've seen recently It kind of reminded me of the 80s slasher flicks set in the woods- and I absolutely love them. It's definitely worth watching and screaming at the screen when the lead does something incredibly dumb (which you know she will)

Better than expected. I went in not expecting much, and there were parts of the film which were slow paced. Overall I liked it though.

But I really did like the twist at the end. The concept was great too, but overall there probably could have been more to it.

Kept my attention for most of the film. It could of been a lot worse. The ending was ok. Pretty cool twist but could of been put together a little better.

Depicting the first serious incident on the job of a fresh(wo)man Park Ranger.

It's a useful movie particularly for the urbanites, who would go to a National Park once and then say, "I want to become a park ranger, it's so easy and awesome".

All in all a good movie of a person confronted with their fears, in a realistic way, with some comedic moments, a type of a movie which is sorely lacking these days with overwrought overly serious "paranormal" horror or "crazed killer"-dominated genre.

A welcome breath of fresh forest air.

Despite a Giallo aesthetic that doesn't suit the premise or setting, a one-dimensional and incompetent protagonist who's inexplicably superhuman when the plot requires her to be, abrupt shifts in tone and pacing, ongoing jump scares that are always telegraphed by the score (with only one that garnered any response in the theatre: uproarious laughter), a predictable third act, unresolved plot points that masquerade as red herrings, and a pointless twist ending with no setup, Body and Brighton Rock is actually a very fascinating film: it provides scientific proof of the theory of time dilation. At a mere 87 minutes, it feels like it's four hours long.

I get the sense that the screenplay was little more than a shot list. This is unfortunate, because there's no denying that director Roxanne Benjamin is a competent filmmaker. She attempts to establish her own style by recycling tried-and-true horror tropes, and there's some good ideas here. But technical aptitude is not the same as meaningful storytelling. The film is incredibly thin and would have worked best as a 20min short.
