Its a slow burn that is for sure.

There was a lot that could of been answered or explained to give the movie a bit more coherence but was still very watchable. The main actor did a great job with the little he had.

I feel the pay off at the end did not match up to the length of the film, there was a lot of build up and suspense for a very predictable finale.

I think if you lke this film go and watch the 2020 film Hunter Hunter.

Very similar in pace and setting but with a better ending.

It's artsy and atmospheric and the actors do a stand-up job, it's even craftily filmed, but about halfway through I realized nothing was really happening, and wondered if it could be condensed into a much shorter version. By the end, my mind hadn't changed and I wondered if it should have just been a short. Then I discovered that the director had, in fact, based it on a 12 minute short, which I am now eager to watch to confirm that this thing would have made an absolutely brilliant short film.

This was enjoyable to watch up until the ending.

Despite it obviously being a low budget film, the acting was good, the direction was good, and I felt the story really had potential.

Maybe I failed to understand something, but I felt that it was ruined by the weak and confusing ending. I probably would have given this a 6 or 7 if it had ended differently.

It's times like this that I wish IMDB still had message boards as I would like someone to explain the ending to me as I obviously didn't get it.

It had everything to score a 9 minimum with its slow buildup to a great unique suspenseful horror flick. Then like a carefully calibrated, almost completed 10 storey deck of cards, the artist just gave a wild swing of hands to bring it all down at the last 10 minutes. No rhyme or reason for the shotgun ending but perhaps it "bears" a hint of being infected by yet another zombie plague. Goodness.

A blind boy, his protective mother, and a goat named Millie, live in the backwoods of the Carolinas, fishing, trapping small animals and living off the land. But there is something ominous in those woods. What could possibly go wrong? Mother, former Baywatch babe Alexandra Paul teaches Solomon the rules of survival, before she disappears one night. Time passes, a strange hunter (Hank) happens upon the scene, seeking shelter for the night (what could possibly go wrong). Tension mounts as Hank finds the mother's journal and reads some of it to Solomon, until he comes upon a disturbing passage. Strange things are happening in the beckoning woods. What could possibly go wrong?

This is the first feature film for this talented group of North Carolina independent film makers (they have made some short films). They have produced a solid psychological thriller, using a combination of Hollywood and local talent, a good original (tension building) musical score and professional cinematography. Definitely worth the price of a ticket or a stream, and I cannot wait to see their next production.

Tethered didn't have enough plot line to keep you roped in. Intriguing, yes - a blind boy alone in the woods. But the plausibility is weak and his mysterious guest doesn't do much to build the climax of the film.

The movie have nice story and the actors played well ! There is some minor things that you can feel it's a low budget movie , maybe it was produce with higher budget will be fantastic and worth 9/10.

In general I advise to see it!

This film reminds me of It Comes at Night (2017), a slow burn that really has no purpose. It starts off semi-promising but feels like it loses its plot as the film progresses. It feels incomplete, playing on loop just to keep you watching for something that appears to exist in your head fueled by seclusion.

I was not impressed with this one personally, but I will say that the cinematography is beautiful. It's dark, depressing, moody, lingering, but lifeless. The ending seems to have one of those what I like to call "suicidal" endings where it disappointingly dies.

I wish the storyline was better.

I can't help thinking: What battery brand was that in the tape recorder that lasts 10+ years? Who was delivering the groceries on the shelves? Etc etc. Another interesting idea that deserved better.

Not everything needs to be a feature film.

I saw Tethered (the 12 minute short film) in 2017 and found it slow... the ending annoyed me as well.

12 minutes was enough! Can you imagine how even more dragged out it is now... over an hour just to get to that crappy ending, oh boy!

Try finding the 12 minute version. Gets to the crappy point quicker.

It is artsy and pretty to look at but nothing happens in the plot. The first 40 minutes could have been condensed into a 10 minutes flashback. The ending was pointless and confusing. The whole thing is too cliché.

This movie had some good potential. The set up was intriguing and the slow starting pace did a fair job of drawing the viewer.

The acting was alright, but given it's more of an indie film you could overlook it and I still felt endeared to the characters. However, some of the music felt inconsistent and actually took me out of the immersion. Similarly, some of the visual shots seemed to be a good set up for a close up or some sort of follow up scene/dialogue but ended up leaving you hanging. (i.e. Hank reading the journal to Solomon felt cut off and I wanted more from the scene)

The final reveal was predictable and left me wanting something more. Ultimately the world building and story were on the right track, but the final product just felt a bit lacking.

The film could have been beautiful, but you don't know what the topic is, what is terrifying, and the reason for the film's story!! A movie with a strange story, but the tuner is stupid!

Have to be honest. Came here to see what the heck I missed. Had I paid closer attention, I would have understood it better.

Loved the atmosphere and slow burn. Well-acted and tense. The movie actually contains most of the clues you need to understand what happened, just don't be playing with the doggo while watching, lol.

I agree with people that the end was disappointing, but I don't really feel like I wasted my time.

Tethered kept my interest, though not my puppy's, and I did watch a second time knowing what to keep an eye out for. Yep. Clues were there, just not as transparent, hit-over-the-head and in-your-face as many other movies. Maybe being so oblique is why it's not as satisfying as it could be.

Overall, I would recommend the watch, but would not consider it a 'must' watch.

I actually cried a few times during the movie. It's very unique and original. I will say the ending goes above and beyond horrible endings - it totally ruins the movie and makes you want your time back.

For me the movie has potential, but the story doesn't have any line , and the end is so stupid, that i couldn't believe my eyes. No sense, total lost of time.

There are dumb movies that let you know from the start that they are dumb and will remain dumb, so if you keep watching, it's your choice, and you are not being cheated.

And then there are movies that set up a bunch of things that tease a worthy payoff, and then they provide none whatsoever. This is one of those films.

There are so many things in this film that could have developed into an interesting story, but that never happened. The film makes a huge deal out of a mysterious rope, yet never provides payoff. It teases the revelation of past events that will illuminate what has happened with the protagonist, but never happens. Nothing is resolved, and the 'reveal' at the end is so stupid and illogical, and unrelated to any of the elements we've been seeking a payoff for that it just boggles the mind.

I feel cheated. This film literally seems to aim to insult the viewer, and that is the ultimate sin it can commit. Also, it treats the two protagonists with contempt. It introduces them, promises to make our investment in their relationship and development worthwhile, and then it gives you nothing.

From the beginning, I was thinking that this was a solid 7 or 8. The atmosphere was haunting. The acting was kinda good. The plot engaging enough to keep my interest UNTIL the last 10 minutes. What happened? No really - what in the world happened? I am so confused and now I am annoyed that I started to get invested in what ends up being not a real story after all. Don't waste your time.

This movie had everything to make it a 8 or a 9 but the ending was like going all the way to Newfoundland for fish and chips and getting frozen supermarket in a box fish dinner microwaved. Just soo disappointing.
