Terras de Sangue

This is your standard, move to new location, terror starts horror movie. It's really very predictable and at times very stupid (what the characters do), but I guess it all helps keeping the tension high. And in that it succeeds. The movie looks and sounds the part, even if there are bigger plot holes than it should be allowed to have.

The performances are OK, considering what sort of movie we have here. Although I reckon some might have issues seeing the main actress in a "weak" role like that, especially after having seen "The Woman". It's not that she is not able to carry that role, it's just that the role itself is weak. Script-wise that is. Whatever the case, this is bog standard fare, you might even like it

It's a good watch, I get the annoyance of many of the Scottish reviewers, but at the end of the day it's a film, designed to shocj and entertain.

InitilalIits nice and jolly, it's fun, then comes the switch. It's that switch that kicks the film into life, and is ultimately the high point of the film. As the terror switch is flicked the film is tense, gripping and intensely watchable, it's very realistic. Sadly as it develops past that it loses its way a little, becoming a little pedestrian, which is a shame.

The acting is very good, the production values are strong. It's a good film, it just falls flat after a high peak.

The movie is a straightforward, unimaginative but slightly suspenseful home invasions thriller. I was wondering why the bad guys were doing what they were doing (I knew nothing about the movie going in, not even the tag line). Wondering right up to the ridiculous ending. I was left wondering how the perpetrators in this story thought they would ever in a million years get away with it. Once the police find the guy with the sliced up face or the one who's face was bashed in they're all done for.

Well , I thought I would give this film a chance as its a brit flick and I am British.

You can tell straight away that the locations are not in Scotland.

So anyway I waited and waited for the film to unfold and hope that some kind of story would unravel.

Instead I just lost 70 odd minutes of my life that I will never get back.

My advice is give this film a miss.

Im only writing more lines to finish the ten lines needed to post.

The film only deserves my review so maybe I can save others the time I wasted watching it.

Due to the low ratings I didn't expect much from White Settlers but then I read a couple reviews and so I thought I'll give it a go because most of the time the low ratings for horror movies on IMDb are an absolute farce. I saw so many good movies that were rated below five stars that I don't believe anything anymore on here. And for this movie it's again completely underrated. The movie starts slow but once the creepy things happen you are in for an old school suspense thriller/horror. The actors might not be well known but they certainly did their job good. For a low budget movie it has certainly nothing to envy from big budget movies. I'm glad I didn't believe the ratings again here on IMDb because I truly enjoyed this movie. Certainly worth a watch if you like creepy masks and suspense.
