Brightwood

They tried their best. It had potential, it could have been good but man they let it slip by over complicating it.

I enjoyed to an extent. Only two actors, good chemistry between them. Perhaps to much couple arguments to give the impression all was not well in the relationship. First half was fine but I never really got what was going on. Some time travelling, some sci fi, not horror.

They are looking for a path but they are on the trail. No basic knowledge of using the sun to get out of the wood which is basically in suburbia. The wood itself also isn't much, the trees are to young to give the real horror vibe.

Watch if you have nothing else to do but don't expect much.

I *really* enjoyed this one!

I famously struggle with films like this because they make my brain hurt. That being said, this was wonderful - and didn't give me a headache trying to understand the logistics, I just went with it and had a fantastic time!

The scenario is terrifying - literally, nightmare fuel! I also found it very darkly funny - Dana Burger's Jen made me laugh very loudly more than a couple times.

I think the script is great, the performances do their job in investing me into the storyline, and the horrific moments are quite effective!

Highly recommend this indie gem! Movies like this prove that you don't always need a gigantic budget to make a movie! Go create art!

Stick around till the end of the credits for something very funny!

I won't pretend to be smart enough to figure out all the time loop stuff, but this was a fun ride and I was satisfied with the ending. You're left with questions, but there's a strong message that leaves an impact that mattered more than all the details. I was so surprised by how great this was (especially for free on Tubi) that I'm genuinely shocked at how low it is scored here. I see some valid complaints among other reviewers, but this is objectively not a bad movie. Heck I'd probably watch it again! And I would absolutely recommend it, especially if you're into horror. This movie proves that you don't need a big budget to tell an interesting story.

The $14K budgeted movie just gave me a much better time than just about any big budget horror/sci-fi flick I've watched in the last few years. Starts of briefly as a domestic drama before morphing into a bit of thriller, than gets into the horror before revealing the high concept of its plot. Don't want to give anything away, as its best to not know what is coming, but this was brilliantly done, and I'm still thinking about the significance of the ending. The two leads also killed it, as they have to portray quite a few different sides to their characters. Looking forward to whatever Dane Elcar does next.

Does a lot with a basic premise. Two characters, one breaking up with the other with no reason for the audience to like either one of them. Are they all ways like this or do they bring out the worst in each other? How long has their relationship been this bad (seems like a long time). Was it ever healthy between them? They become trapped in a vortex jogging around this small lake. So it's all about tension, the tension between the couple, the tension between them and their situation. For a movie with so much tension from beginning to end it was easy to watch. The acting was great as was the suspense. Highly recommend, but know going in you're going to be watching a dysfunctional couple fighting for most of the movie.
