XMOOR

I'm not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating on IMDb. I just saw this, and it was fun. It had a natural flow, and I liked the main character a lot. There was a twist at the end that was very unexpected. However, what happens to the bad guy was kinda silly, but it didn't negate the rest of the movie.

Melia Kreiling was very believable, and she seemed believable scared throughout her time in the forest. I think we'll see more films with her in the future.

I recommend this film. It's a solid, original thriller, and I'll watch it again. I gave this a 7-star rating.

Needless to say that I had never heard about this 2014 horror movie titled "X Moor" prior to sitting down here in 2023 to watch it. But I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, and with it being a horror movie, of course I opted to watch it.

However, writer and director Luke Hyams failed to deliver a movie that appealed much to my particular liking. The storyline was actually okay enough in concept, however, the movie was had very little entertainment value to it. It was a bit too slow paced, and the fact that it was shot in near darkness didn't really help to improve on the failing entertainment value. Why would the audience want to sit around and watch something where half of the things on the screen is shrouded in darkness or shadows?

The acting performances in "X Moor" were okay, but the actors and actresses didn't have much of anything worthwhile to work with. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here, but it was actor Mark Bonnar that stood out as the most memorable performer.

Visually then "X Moor" wasn't all that great. Especially since the movie was frightfully devoid of proper lighting. I sit down to watch a movie, not to watch a dark screen.

My rating of "X Moor" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Wilderness horror. Exmoor is a national park in south-west England, a place that I have visited & explored numerous times. Therefore I felt somewhat cheated by the fact that this was filmed in Northern Ireland. Two Americans (well actually non-American actors with unconvincing accents, especially the guy) go to Exmoor to film the elusive big black cat, but instead get duped into hunting for a sick serial killer known only as The Beast. Much of the running time involves shouting & screaming in the wood at night, gets pretty tedious. It does have a few shock moments but this film fails to impress, instantly forgettable.

This is terrible. What kind of film runs and doesn't have enough light for you to see what is going on. That is why it only got 2/10 stars. I stopped watching it when it continued to be a dark screen. Bummer.

X Moor: A couple set out to make a documentary about the Beast of Exmoor hoping that with the help of a hunter they will manage to film the fabled beast. But all is not as it seems. A serial killer is at work on the moor and they find bodies he has dumped. A cat and mouse hunt proceeds where they try to trap the killer but he is dangerous prey. some interesting twists along the way with stabbings and shootings interspersed with chases through a dark forest. Perhaps the film is a bit too clever for its own good with one plot twist too many. Still, it's a watchable horror-thriller. Written and Directed by Luke Hyams. On the Horror Channel. 6/10.
