Red Ridge

"Red Ridge" proves that a solid film can be made without breaking the bank. I had known about it through people that were involved on both sides of the camera. That can often get in the way of enjoying a film , but not at all. Red Ridge doesn't rely on tricks or complex twists , just good pacing and truth. There was never a time when i said , " that would never happen", or "why didn't they just .......". It simply introduced us to some people, put them in a scary situation, and then "we" wanted to stay with them to see if they can get away. For me personally, Red Ridge was a that movie i wish i could've been in . I hope Red Ridge gets seen by all the right people. These guys deserve to be seen. Brent

In the first 10 minutes, it was easy to pass this off as what I pretty well, expected the quality of this film to be like. Riding on too little. But this B grade pic, with it's share of faults, gets more engrossing, as it goes along. There are some pathetic moments, as there are some pathetic and sick characters. Human trafficking movies, obviously sell, like fodder, and you could fare worse than this one. Some underwritten characters, but not some bad performances from few, where we have a strong appealing male lead, with a bit of a sobriety problem, who becomes of course the hero, while I wasn't at home, with some of his attitude. Coming across a damsel in distress, a HT escapee victim, he soon becomes caught up, and framed as the shooter of this crooked cop, involved in this illegal enterprise, true as today's head lines. Things get worse, when his ex is trapped in this house off ill repute, a sort of holding tank for slave victims, before being auctioned off. The ex's yummy half clad daughter, is chained to a bed with her. There's many many amateur patches, where to me, I kind if respect this sort of Indie film making. RR isn't half a bad pic, but it's not good. There's predicability too. And the young actress would of been in much more pain, if three of her toe's were snapped, at a joint, or on the part of the abducter, having keys to a set of a cuffs, in arm's reach of the enslaved, who's wrists weren't both cuffed to the bed railing behind. I do like, how the likeable family come together, at the end. Kind a striking movie cover too. Some truly repellent bad guys in this too.

Quite possibly one of the stupidest movies ever made. The acting and story are terrible.

They portray Texas as the land where most men are in-bred hillbilly rapists, or drunks stumbling around, and women are kidnapped, raped and killed on a constant basis. Texas is just like the city, suburbs, or countryside where you live, there is just more of it. People are just like the people where you live, a few drunks, a few crazed psychos, and many decent friendly people. Texans pay the rent, work hard at 9 to 5 jobs, raise families and don't marry their sister or rape every woman they see.

So the only thing worse than this stupid boring movie is the stereotype they try to shove down your throat.

I don't know who wrote that great review but he must have been talking about some other movie.

This was just awful.

This movie was over 6 years old when it was finally released in Europe under the better title 'Rape And Revenge'. Even the cover used looked promising for horror buffs but sadly that was all that was amusing.

This flick really has nothing to offer. It all looked really tame and the story didn't evolve either. The girls being captured were never tortured, they were only sitting there on a bed, handcuffed. Sure, there's some rape going on but even that was low standard. In fact, the overall look of this flick was low budget. A lot of scene's were to dark, clearly they didn't use extra lighting. It is also based on a true event but that I don't believe either. Following serial killers closely I can't see on what fact it's based although there are a lot of stories about girls used as sex slaves.

No red stuff, no nudity, no nothing in this slowly moving boring flick. And you were warned, it's stated on the sleeve of the DVD, You Were Warned By The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' well You've Been Warned by me now, don't go watching this.

A man has a blowout and winds up in RED RIDGE to get his tire fixed. Unfortunately for him, this town seems to be populated by nefarious hillbillies who all seem to be part of an eeevil conspiracy involving abduction, sexual slavery, and murder.

Side Note: The fact that such a diabolical plot is being carried out is astonishing, since these thuggish hicks are barely intelligent enough to keep breathing in and out!

When the man tries to leave town, he's stopped by a screaming woman, and the real trouble begins.

While certainly not a masterpiece of suspense, this movie does have some effectively unsettling moments (i.e. The woman in the trunk). Like so many "modern" movies, everyone is unlikeable, so there's really no one to root for or care about.

Worth watching once...
