Haunted Trail

The opening actually gave me high hopes for this movie, then as soon as the credits were finished it immediately went to crap. Using the "scares" of the haunted house/trail within the movie for most of the horror elements doesn't make a good horror movie. It's actually frustrating as a viewer to just be watching the characters react to scares that we don't get to enjoy as even mild startles ourselves. The constant babbling and shrieking of the characters doesn't amount to decipherable or meaningful dialogue that moves a story forward in any way. Outside of the chaotic filming of disjointed house-of-horrors scenes, attempts at a storyline are pathetic. Some of these actors should never appear in front of a camera again, the skill level is that poor. And I don't even think there were writers. It's just so painful, in the worst possible way.

Some friends go to a haunted walkthrough and get attacked by what a revamped Myers kind of character...that might be black. But it's a cheap cheesy flick.

This doesn't even work as a parody or satire. It's just bad all the way around, and yet... And yet, it got funded. AI could write a better script. The acting was subpar. There were some odd acting choices with all the actors, but especially with Desi Banks. The pacing was too loose and scenes that did nothing for the story lingered. Some of the camera shots were questionable, but overall, the biggest problem this movie had was a bad story. There was hardly any story there. The whole thing hinged on a lame jealousy premise, so lame that you don't learn about it until you get a lot of bad exposition at the end!

It's too bad. I wanted to like Robin Givens as a director. There are too few black female directors out there, but based on this film, it looks like she's not ready for the other side of the camera. Try again with better material.

There definitely could ave been more to the story. That said, there should have been less to it. There really wasn't a story-line, just a group of friends go to a haunted house type event. They already had a jason,mike myers, freddie type of character and then they had to add a story and change things up. Would have been a decent 6.3 if they kept it simple but instead gets a 5.1. It's amusing and fast paced but could have been funny and pleasantly paced.

From beginning to end I cringed at the acting. Just terrible all around.i wish I could give this no stars. The one good thing about this movie is the plot twist. I can't believe I even finished it. Oh, please don't get me started on the ending. I love to support my people but this was not it. Did they even have scripts or were the just improvising the lines. I'm so disappointed in the actors in this movie for even agreeing to put out this horrendous movie.

Now don't get me wrong I like the idea of this movie but they did not do the concept justice. Hoping that all of them gets some acting classes in the near future.
