XMOOR

I'm not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating on IMDb. I just saw this, and it was fun. It had a natural flow, and I liked the main character a lot. There was a twist at the end that was very unexpected. However, what happens to the bad guy was kinda silly, but it didn't negate the rest of the movie.

Melia Kreiling was very believable, and she seemed believable scared throughout her time in the forest. I think we'll see more films with her in the future.

I recommend this film. It's a solid, original thriller, and I'll watch it again. I gave this a 7-star rating.

This is terrible. What kind of film runs and doesn't have enough light for you to see what is going on. That is why it only got 2/10 stars. I stopped watching it when it continued to be a dark screen. Bummer.

Bad dumb Tish! To be honest there were moments I was thinking X moor had some interesting ideas and was going somewhere, however it kind of felt a bit messy in the end and was a bit inconsistent. The lead role was entirely unconvincing and paled in comparison to other actors in minor roles and this proved a bit distracting, although the twisting and turning on the plot could not have helped plus the characters being all a bit on the silly side, then again we'd have no horror movies without characters acting inexplicably stupid. The movie also suffered from many dark scenes at one point which were simply difficult to make out. It did feel everything went on an inexplicable rush near the end and ambitious plot points were not developed fully. It did have its moments however it seems like more time was needed to think over and edit this movie. Has the guy from Agents of Shield in it tho. 3 points for creepy kid, 10000 points for unintentionally hilarious stunt involving a Jeep.

Wilderness horror. Exmoor is a national park in south-west England, a place that I have visited & explored numerous times. Therefore I felt somewhat cheated by the fact that this was filmed in Northern Ireland. Two Americans (well actually non-American actors with unconvincing accents, especially the guy) go to Exmoor to film the elusive big black cat, but instead get duped into hunting for a sick serial killer known only as The Beast. Much of the running time involves shouting & screaming in the wood at night, gets pretty tedious. It does have a few shock moments but this film fails to impress, instantly forgettable.

But not really something that is phenomenal. Horror movies live and die with their characters (most times literally than metaphorically) and in this case, the characters are mostly nicely drawn. You might even care for them (or at least some of them) not to die. Unfortunately a few things come in the way (and I'm not talking about Death/Killer situations alone).

The things that might annoy you, are the decisions made. Bad decisions as they mostly only happen in horror movies, to move on and make the movie "interesting" or let things happen that could be easily avoided. Having said that though, I have seen far worse, so if you don't hang up too much on those things and don't mind the slow pace in the beginning, there is a couple of things to enjoy here
