Deer Crossing

I was at the screening on Saturday night and the one thing everyone has forgotten is that Chris Grillo specifically asked for no reviews at this time! Buddy Hill's review was up before the screening and his is the ONLY legit review and I agree with everything he said, the cast and the film are great. I'm glad sin-a-man's review was removed because he was just a hater. I disagree with incognito-3145. Buddy Hill was right, Tom Detrik was amazing and if his performance was reminiscent of a villain from a bad comic book remake, DUH! That's what the character was so that means he did it right and did everyone forget that Carmela Hayslett just won an award for her performance in BOOLEY so that should tell you about her craft. I'm pretty sure that review is just the bitter ramblings of the wife of one of the actors in the film but I won't make accusations without proof. All I can say for myself is if you get a chance to see this film do it you won't be disappointed.

There have been times in history when people have sacrificed themselves to save their fellow men from evil. If I ever attain sainthood, it will be because I watched this film so that others will not have to.

In a word, this movie is pathetic. If, for some masochistic reason, you still think you should give it a try, then watch the scene that introduces the movie. If you think you want to see more of the same, or even more depraved, nonsense, then feel free to continue. Also, consider checking yourself into a psychiatric hospital, because you need serious help.

This is a C movie that strives, but fails, to be a B movie. The acting is so bad, it's laughable, which is why the film got a 2 instead of a 1. The director, who is not worth naming, must have been vaguely inspired by David Lynch's, Blue Velvet. There are Frank-like moments, actors, dialogues, and scenes that those who know the film will recognize. But this is like comparing Dr. Dre to a neurosurgeon.

Though many in this movie could be nominated for worst actor, my vote goes to the girl who plays the psychiatrist. How low is your budget if this is what you have to settle for? I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that this is the director's girlfriend. If that's the case, then there is justice in this world.

Don't be fooled by the fake 10/10 reviews, this is absolutely awful.

Low budget doesn't mean guaranteed poor movie. It certainly increases the possibility and this film shows it.

Awful acting.

Terrible "script".

Unimaginative characters, typical hillbilly stereotyping.

There may be hidden low budget gems out there, this isn't one of them, its complete rubbish. Cant think of one redeeming quality.

I rarely switch a movie off, and in this case didn't, but came very close.

Avoid.

This movie was very low budget, and it shows. The acting was mediocre (even the appearances from Doug Bradley and Ernie Hudson couldn't save it) and the camera work was below average too. Some of the scenes seemed disjointed and the plot was all over the place. As for the story itself, yeah it had it's moments but I felt that the script was written in a hurry as it didn't flow at all. I also felt that the editing could have been better too as the film was too long, (some of the scenes could have been shorter) it could have been cut down to 85 minutes or so instead of the tedious 102 minutes that it ended up as. In the end I couldn't wait until it was over. So all I can give this film is a 2 out of 10 (only because I liked Doug Bradley in this).

Oh what a mess this is; a completely unstructured disaster of a movie. The storyline and editing are as bad as anything that I have ever seen. It begins with a Charles Manson lookalike who sounds exactly like Jack Palance, degrading a woman chained to a cement floor. The next scene shows a man saying goodbye to his wife and child as they depart in a Mercedes. On the drive, the car strikes a deer and the mother appears as the captive of the Manson looking dude. Next up, a guy is at a bar saying farewell to his fellow cops as he must retire to take care of his wife, who is in a wheelchair for some unexplained reason. Eight years ahead, the boy who was missing with mom calls his dad from a payphone. Most of the characters are hillbillies behaving badly with drugs and alcohol and an inexplicable gay sex interlude which seems to be from gay porn. This is simply a god awful film, written and directed by Christian Grillo. He needs to be expelled from the movie industry forever.
