The Shasta Triangle

I found the concept of this film to be very interesting, and despite some reviews on vfx, for it being what I assume is a micro budget indie with a sub $250k budget, they're pretty good. The camera work was really beautiful, especially the drone shots which provide an expansive feeling to the forest setting. I'd like to see what could be done with this story on a budget it deserves, and see how the character development could also expand in that arena, as I was hungry to understand the father-daughter dynamic more than the friendships between the primary and secondary characters. I feel that with a longer story and runtime aligned with most features (perhaps 90 minutes), some key plot points could have been further clarified and developed. Overall, I think it was a great microbudget effort and could see this on SyFy.

They must have paid the cast and crew a bonus to post glowing reviews on this pile of **** movie,most of the reviewers are one time posters just for this movie which immediately tells you just how bad it is. The acting,whilst not the worst I've seen,is awful,the only convincing thing about it is how these girls fall apart repeatedly in a crisis and resort to being nasty to each other,strong female leads they are not contrary to the fake reviewers suggestions that they are,with friends like these you don't need enemies,the camera work is shoddy and looks like a shaky twelve year old is holding his phone up to film,the story line is pathetic,doesn't hold up and just all over the place until eventually the film just goes..well....nowhere,that's right,it just ends,no real explanations for anything or anyone,it just ends,it was just an awful movie from start to finish and I really struggled to get trough to the end in order to write a real review.

This movie deserves nothing more than a garbage score for a garbage movie. I've stood by many low budget films that I have turned out to live, this was complete and absolutely awful. The acting was horrible, boring cinematography, multiple shots look dubbed and most importantly, the plot went NOWHERE. There was not one redeeming quality about this film. No questiones were answered, plot holes left right and centre, and it failed to come to a conclusion that made any sense. Top 10 worst ending in existence. Any reviews above 3 on this movie are fake, if you really don't believe me, save your money and pirate this hunk of trash and get ready to throw away the next hour and 15 minutes.

** Edit After I wrote my review a whole spate of positive 9s and 10s came through all at once. Fake!!!

This has to be one of the most convoluted stories in any film.

The script, development of the story and the VFX are dire.

The acting is generally ok. but not all, some stinkers too.

You won't feel like you've missed anything if you give this a pass.

Who wrote this garbage? I thought child labour was illegal? The bit were they all turn up one after the other in separate cars is so bad it's hilarious. Women acting like teens, arguing and sniping constantly.

I was looking forward to a good sci-fi but instead I got mary & ashley olsen & friends go into the woods.
