Road to Red

B grade.. if you got nothing better to do otherwise I'd pass and watch your favourite movie for the 50th time... Big thumbs down

Interesting idea combining surfing, skatingboarding and horror. The acting of the main characters, vfx, camera, sound work, film grading, and general production was quite good. Compelling enough to keep me watching to find out what happened to the missing brother. The party scenes could have been cut down in length to speed up the pacing of the first half. Not a bad first major effort though from the director. I wouldn't be surprised to see him and the main character actors doing some impressive things in their future projects.

I added 1 star for the half-decent camerawork.... you're welcome. The acting is ok-ish at best.

But my word, the pacing of this film. I mean, If I fast forward in a film, it means something is wrong. Now I don't mind a slow story, if it's actually developing into something. This was nothing if not anti-climactic and utterly boring.

Some parts were just ridiculous. Professional surfers/skaters who just managed to jump and clear relatively big gaps, suddenly panic and collectively jump off their boards when they encounter an unimpressive gash in the track?

And a rabies infection from a rat? Did he get super rabies? He become symptomatic within mere hours. How did the guy get the candles where did he get the lighter or matches from? And whilst we're at it.... where does this obviously malnourished underground dwelling hermit, living out in the middle of nowhere, get his superhuman strength from? Surely a couple of fit, sporty young people should be able to defeat this guy right? And what about the crosses? Does he keep a ton of them lying around?... just incase a few delicious humans happen to pop around in his makeshift cathedral?

Personally my biggest grievance is the pseudo philosophical ramblings scattered throughout the film. Lord have mercy.

The only redeeming quality of this film: a couple of nice shots.

What a wast of time.

I don't trust IMDb anymore for the rating! 6.5 seriously? This movie is nothing except a nice poster. Don't see the point of making this movie.

This is one of these movies what world need.You can always do better movie that this,and if you don´t,stay home.If you are pothead surfer or skater,this is for you. I watch this 1h50min about an hour,cause i skipped frames so many times. First hour is boring and terrible to watch,because acting and story line is so bad..and rest of movie: also very bad..this piece of schait was total 10-15 minutes good scenes,so that makes those 2 stars.
