Strange Nature

First: I found it interesting that all the 8/9/10 all come in one cluster and all single review profiles. I don't recall hearing about this "true life event". It may have happened. This trope has been done better. However the film is what we are here to talk about. For having several known stars and assumably a decent enough budget. The production values were worse than most of the stuff on the SciFi channel. The horror is the acting and writing. Save yourself don't waste your time.

It said based on true events , some of the plot seemed fictionalized especially the ending that's definitely fictional. The acting was decent not great but not horrible the story was actually really good had some horror with some redneck prejudice thrown in. I liked the kid, the grandfather was good as well , most of the actors were decent especially for a low budget film. It was ok to watch once its similar to the curse from the 80s. That kind of film. I'm originally from Minnesota so the cinematography was excellent as well. Love lake superior in the summer!!!

This only had a rating of about 5 when I watched it. I was bemused at the extremely low score because the movie had some strong acting performances with the main female lead and her father. Decent script and cinematography. Also a quite heartwarming and engaging sub plots involving deformed residents and eventually a red neck showdown.

I didn't actually realise this was meant to be a full blown horror movie until the end. It was a decent environmental conspiracy film that I thought was based on real events. I would have scored the movie as an 8 but for one appallingly bad final scene that was just completely out of place with the rest of the film and ruined its credibility for me. I wont spoil it but it was a cheap shock tactic right at the end. I can't believe none of the writing or production crew said "No" to that because it was so ridiculous.

Anyway, definitely worth a watch.

Really with a story like this, the writers and directors should have done so much better. The acting was subpar, the direction worse, and the effects, should have went to a Halloween store.

Pity it was so low budget, could have been something worthy of getting folks talking and taking notice of the environmental damage being done by ignorance and greed. Instead it turned into a gore feast comedy. The scene with the cop being chewed to bit was simply hilarious (worth sticking it out just for that).

Well-acted, great effects, good characters - I actually love this movie. Brings to mind classics like Prophecy and Long Weekend.
