The Body Tree

I got bored and didn't bother finishing it.

I skipped to the end to find out whodunnit and was annoyed at that too.

The writers and everyone else involved with creating the plot had a good idea, they just didn't go about writing it very well. They characters weren't introduced very well so it was hard to keep track of who was who and they did a horrible job explaining what happened to their friend that caused them to wind up in Siberia in the first place other than that she inexplicably ended up dead.

We thought we would give this movie a shot but we turned it off straight away. The fact that they filmed in Southern California was so evident from the first time they stopped the car. Everything about the scenes screamed Cali, from the outside of the farm area to inside the house. There was absolutely nothing that said Russia or Siberia at all. That right there spoiled the whole movie. I know I wouldn't be able to see past it.

I didn't really liked The Body Tree. Maybe I expected too much of it. The story is just not that great to keep you interested, at least not for me. And that was due to some really annoying characters. Plus the acting was not good from everybody. The characters are basically arguing and yelling during almost the entire movie, trying to find out who's the murderer, and at one point I couldn't care less who was the murderer. The plot was also not the greatest I ever saw. Maybe it could have been better with another cast and characters. It's also obvious that this is not Siberia so that's also a thing that bothers me. Just do some research and find a right place for it if you want it to look like Siberia.

The problem with Body tree is it doesn't know what it wants to be- a horror or a murder thriller and ultimately it ends up being neither. This is a problem with a lot of indie films- they lack a vision and blueprint. (Avoid it)
