Deer Crossing

We just finished watching this film and it left us definitely not wanting more. The only reason we finished it is because we were hoping it would get better. Trust me it doesn't. You will regret spending your money on this film. The acting was terrible on all levels, the camera shots were horrible, all-in-all a waste of my night. If you find yourself reading the back cover and think "hey, this sounds good" keep in mind there are other worth while movies out there. It needs to have a rating of 0 being never watch or think about again. The character choices could have been alright if they knew how to act. I heard that there was going to be a part 2 in 2014... how can they think the first one was good enough to need a part 2? This will definitely be one that we will not be seeing in 2014 and I hope for sanity sake neither will any of you. Good luck and I hope you take in this consideration.

I watched Deer Crossing tonight. I am not a movie critic or a film Major. I am just a guy who loves movies.

I watch 2 movies a day minimum and Stumbled across Deer crossing. I have spent way more time on way less Movies. The acting was a bit weak but show promise. There are a few in the cast that have potential. The writing was on the weak side. The directing was pretty good. Sound and music was weak. Overall it was watchable and definitely gets them a second chance. I think that this type film just needs a certain type person to appreciate it. I don't want to spoil anything.I hope you enjoy the movie and my review helped.

Oh what a mess this is; a completely unstructured disaster of a movie. The storyline and editing are as bad as anything that I have ever seen. It begins with a Charles Manson lookalike who sounds exactly like Jack Palance, degrading a woman chained to a cement floor. The next scene shows a man saying goodbye to his wife and child as they depart in a Mercedes. On the drive, the car strikes a deer and the mother appears as the captive of the Manson looking dude. Next up, a guy is at a bar saying farewell to his fellow cops as he must retire to take care of his wife, who is in a wheelchair for some unexplained reason. Eight years ahead, the boy who was missing with mom calls his dad from a payphone. Most of the characters are hillbillies behaving badly with drugs and alcohol and an inexplicable gay sex interlude which seems to be from gay porn. This is simply a god awful film, written and directed by Christian Grillo. He needs to be expelled from the movie industry forever.

Don't be fooled by the fake 10/10 reviews, this is absolutely awful.

Low budget doesn't mean guaranteed poor movie. It certainly increases the possibility and this film shows it.

Awful acting.

Terrible "script".

Unimaginative characters, typical hillbilly stereotyping.

There may be hidden low budget gems out there, this isn't one of them, its complete rubbish. Cant think of one redeeming quality.

I rarely switch a movie off, and in this case didn't, but came very close.

Avoid.

I was at the screening on Saturday night and the one thing everyone has forgotten is that Chris Grillo specifically asked for no reviews at this time! Buddy Hill's review was up before the screening and his is the ONLY legit review and I agree with everything he said, the cast and the film are great. I'm glad sin-a-man's review was removed because he was just a hater. I disagree with incognito-3145. Buddy Hill was right, Tom Detrik was amazing and if his performance was reminiscent of a villain from a bad comic book remake, DUH! That's what the character was so that means he did it right and did everyone forget that Carmela Hayslett just won an award for her performance in BOOLEY so that should tell you about her craft. I'm pretty sure that review is just the bitter ramblings of the wife of one of the actors in the film but I won't make accusations without proof. All I can say for myself is if you get a chance to see this film do it you won't be disappointed.
