Lanier

This movie was was very difficult to watch. It lacked a realistic plot, was not scary, funny, romantic, informative or even entertaining. The characters were not likeable at all. They were mostly irritating negative stereotypes. The acting was very poor and it was hard to follow who the characters were and what motivated them. It was very unrealistic and bordered on comical. I'm not sure how this got funded but from the production value it probably didn't cost much. This movie was about an hour and ten minutes and my teenage daughter said it looked like it took an hour and a half to produce from a cell phone. I feel like I got ripped off paying for this. The positive reviews have to be almost entirely fake.

The synopsis for this 2023 thriller from writers and directors William Eric Anderson and Cindy Estenfanie Kunz-Anderson definitely sounded interesting enough to make me sit down and watch it. Well, the fact that it was a movie that I hadn't already seen definitely also played a part in my decision to watch it.

The storyline in the movie was not a particularly entertaining one, nor a thrilling one either. And with "Lanier" being a thriller, it was a swing and a miss from the writers. I have to say that when the movie ended I didn't really see that there was an actual point to the storyline, and that made watching this movie feel like a massive waste of my time.

I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, which is something that I actually enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in "Lanier" were good.

"Lanier" is not a movie that makes use of any particular special effects. Not that special effects would have spruced up the movie, as the storyline was so boring and pointless.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the ordeal.

If you enjoy a proper thriller, don't waste your time, money and effort on "Lanier". Some of us suffered through this boring ordeal, so you don't have to; you're very welcome.

My rating of writers and directors William Eric Anderson and Cindy Estenfanie Kunz-Andersons' 2023 thriller "Lanier" lands on a two out of ten stars.

The only good thing about this movie is the scenes of Lake Lanier. The acting was forced and the story didn't really make much sense. It's true there was some racism and I believe what happened in Oscarville back in 1912 may have been true, but it had nothing to do with the building of the lake. I'm not quite sure what the point of the story was. I know the area very well, and it was interesting to see the different parts of the lake that were filmed as it moved between scenes. I would not recommend renting this... wait until it's offered for free on one of the streaming services. It must have been a low budget movie for sure.

I hate this movie wasted time I could never back. This is a revenge horror film about the tragedy of Lake Lanier which in theory, sounds interesting.

The execution of said plot however, is horribly disrespected by the bad writing and acting however. The pacing of the movie is horribly rushed. The characters development is non existent to the point of not knowing or even caring to know the characters. The dialog is non-realistic and not in a artistic way. The environment lore related to the plot is not explored at all.

The only redeeming quality is the cinematography which even falls short at times.

Its just a very bad movie, amazing boring and acting is from another planet, directing is ,,, well, its none

Some superstar rated this with 10 so I guess he put this movie on the same level as Alien then ,what an insult , you can like this garbage if you want, and you can write a good rewiew about it , but its not 10

Just as I did not gave it 1 star even if I really think this was worst trash ever , but effort is ok they tried their best , so I can give an extra star cause of that

Yes its a low budget b movie, I respect that but the story is just so bad its insane, not sure why prime streaming this either , these kind of movies belong in a box selling dvds 1 buck each on some gasolin market.
