The Boonies

I do not understand why the rating of this movie is high. In the movie, the actors exhibited extremely poor and simple acting. The music is extremely bad. The script is silly and simple.

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror movie "The Boonies" by random chance, and seeing the cover I must admit that I was interested in watching the movie. Yeah, the cover had that slasher-vibe to it, so of course I opted to give "The Boonies" a watch.

And as it turned out, then I could just have skipped on this 2021 horror movie from writers Lance Parkin and Matt Schultz. Yep, this movie was a swing and a miss.

The storyline was generic, so very incredibly generic and mundane. Nay, it was actually downright bland and boring. And even for a movie such as this turned out to be, there was nothing overly impressive or particularly enjoyable to be had here.

The characters in the movie were every bit as bland and pointless as the storyline. So, hey, I guess they fitted right in, huh? But in terms of the character gallery providing any entertainment for the viewers, nah, forget about it.

If you enjoy a good horror movie or a proper slasher flick, then do yourself a favor and skip on director Lance Parkin's 2021 movie "The Boonies". It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

I suppose "The Boonies" is what happens when a bunch of horror fanatics take a digital video camera and heads out into the woods to make their own horror movie.

My rating of "The Boonies" lands on a two out of ten stars.

I do like the old Deliverance style movies but sadly this one ain't gonna win no Oscars.

It is very low budget and so should be rated and reviewed as such and to be honest the photography was not bad and the sound effects did their job, its just a shame none of the cast could act.... Well with the exception of mama she was pure magic and elevated this film above what it would have been without her.

Christine Mancini deserves an oscar for her performance, she was great!

Sadly the movie itself was in need of better effects and really they should know how to mix tomato sauce and glycerol to produce proper blood as it looks more like Red Kola they used.

Good movie if you need a laugh as I am not entirely 100% sure but I think the director may have actually been aiming for black comedy; just did not really do it for me unfortunately...and it was also 30 mins too long!

This is the type film that you get or you do not. Sadly audiences these days are not authentic fans of the genre and expect something that was never intended. Films like this pay tribute to an era that was the building blocks for not only an entire genre but a movement, feel and style of filmmaking. To see a movie that is put out in 2021 with its influences on its sleeve and is actually entertaining is a breath of fresh air. Again, you need to know what you are watching or at least understand the genre tone. If you do not, you'll bounce on the opposing side of comprehension. Far too many viewers end up falling on the sides that "WE" as genre fans fought against. Check this out and then go back and watch some 70s horror films from the godfathers of the genre...perhaps then you'll understand this love letter to an important decade in our beloved horror genre. Roots are important. Watch with ease.

I mean I don't understand the reviews on this movie. Must be quarantine fog or something. This was by far the WORST movie I have ever seen in my entire life and I have seen some bad ones. Usually I can get through the end and then say uggh that was not good, but I couldn't even get through this movie it was that bad. First of all it's as though they picked the actors off the street and said (I'll take you, you, oh hey and you) just read these flash cards out loud annnnnd action! I mean even the back woods people who didn't even speak were bad. If they had one or two good actors I could maybe get through the end...but nope...nope...they were all bad. And then even the Theatrical props were horrible maybe some maple syrup and red food coloring and some gummy worms slapped on a forehead for brains. I don't know I just can't with this movie.... Negative 3 stars and that's being generous. Im actually annoyed at how bad it actually was.
