Stillwater

An average thriller movie with poor script, but good in camera directing... There's nothing about Mystery, Failed: they just looked the man and never proved if he really died, they didnt even heared his heart pulse....!!

Anyway Interesting is how drugs and alchool always destroys everything in society and creating some stupidity problems.

Suggestion about society..!!

I went into this thinking I was going to get the usual "whodunnit" film but set in the woods. I will say that, coming out, it was a lot more than I expected.

Pros: The ending takes it. I can usually call these types but I couldn't in this one. The cast does a great job overall. The lead actor nails it, and overall everyone was believable. The setting of northwoods Minnesota in the fall is beautiful, and that contrasts the downward spiral that the characters take. And for a thriller, the movie touches on some heavy issues with some of it's dialogue.

Cons: Some of the dialogue felt stiff, especially in the opening. There were slow moments, again mostly in the beginning. The one scene with the dummy doesn't really add anything, and could have been left out.

Overall: I despise unoriginality--the constant churn of Hollywood sequel after sequel--and I thought this was an interesting and original concept on a familiar tale. For that reason I gave it a 9.

The movie starts out Ok but slips up now and then and just when I was about to stop watching something happens and that kept up till the END which i for sure did not see coming as the bitching among characters completely threw me off. worth a watch with friends.

Is this story write by someone who never went to camping?? if your friend collapse in the ground, in the jungle, die or not, u will not leave him alone. I repeat, nobody will never leave their friend collapse in the jungle alone.

If they stay with his sick friend, nothing will happend, the story will not exist.

I didn't know what to expect going into Stillwater, it was yet another pick & mix film and I assumed it would be a horror. I can assure it isn't.

Playing out like a thriller/mystery it tells the story of the reuniting of a group of friends for a camping trip but it all goes horribly wrong when one is later found dead. This causes the friends to turn on one another as the fear & paranoia sets in.

Stillwater is very dull in places, very lifeless which is a shame because it does have a lot going for it. The cast are 50/50, the cinematography is passable and overall though not the most original film it manages to remain fresh.

I don't know why I felt it was so underwhelming, something just didn't sit right with me and I was left feeling that Stillwater should have been better.

There are worse ways of killing 90 minutes and for what it is it's a passable affair regardless of my criticism.

The Good:

Decent twist

Well enough made

The Bad:

Very drab in places

Weak delivery of a good enough story

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

We never did find out how you can kill a person with foot cream!
