Lanier

I'm a huge horror/ Suspense movie person!

I loved that they captured the history of lake Lanier BUT I was really bored at the beginning, it started to get good and then BAM it ended... I felt they could have done a lot more. I know it's a lower budget movie. But how it ended and how fast made me go...WHAT?! I was a bit upset by that ending..

Other than it ending right when it started to get good, It was a good movie. I would tell people this and still recommend it.

Everyone has their own opinions though.

P.s 1,100 people were violently forced out in 1912, due to a " racial cleansing ". Soon, the town was flooded, to make lake lanier. For the memory of Oscarville, and the people who lived there.

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.

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.

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.

Keep in mind this is coming from someone who grew up on Lake Lanier. And my grandparents were a part of the people who were evacuated when they flooded the area.

The story is more shallow than the acting skills. It's not even scary. It's as if BLM had the budget and creativity of the makers of Facing The Giants.

Please, if you value your time and taste of good entertainment, watch something else. And if you want the history of Lake Lanier, read a book.
