The Girl on the Mountain

Great movie! This film had excellent cinematography and breathtaking atmosphere and visuals in the scenery. There was chemistry between the performers as they told their narratives and the storytelling throughout the screenplay was enough to keep you interested and to care about the characters, for example like who they are and why they are there, and how there performances fits into the plot as the story unfolds. The performers as they played their respective characters caught enough of my attention to care about the story the director was showing through his director's lens. It is not easy directing a film that appeals to everyone likes.

Terrific scenery. It stops there. If any musicians were actually playing (daughter excluded, she couldn't even pretend convincingly), it did not match the soundtrack. So, Jack's score was jotted in a notebook and scored for piano? And he took his phone out during a performance? The first three minutes set us up for a comedy of sloppy film-making. And why did his daughter suddenly walk out into the path of the only car on the road, coming towards her with lights on? And then there was the posse of villains, who get out of the car, and walk on into the night, leaving the car with its lights on. Dumb is as dumb gets.

Really, the lack of research, attention to detail and common sense destroyed what credibility the movie may have had. Shame, because the basic premise was sound, despite the execution.

Worst acting. Only good thing about this story was scenery. This isn't a Disney nor Christian movie and you're telling me red necks who look like heavy metal rockers don't say one curse word the whole movie? Not even a damn. Lmao. At least with Disney and Christian movies you know what you get. Why would director make it so unrealistic? "You better stop right now mister or I will hurt you" Lol. So cheesy. Dude gets spear stuck in leg and no cursing out of anger? I mean it doesn't have to be like CASINO with too much swearing but that was ridiculous and the acting just horrific. You got the blood and violence but not a sh#t? Very cheesy. Pass up unless you want to see God's beautiful nature.

This has got to be the worst move I've seen. The acting is TERRIBLE and everything about it is just stupid including the plot. Don't waste your time! Good thing I didn't buy this.

I am a dumbass, because I read the reviews before watching, but still wanted to give it a chance. Boy, do I regret it.

The acting, my god! The acting is so unbelievably horrible! I'm so sorry, because I can imagine how much effort goes into making a movie, but this is just a waste of everybody's time. The actors are unable to deliver a single line convincingly, but perhaps that is also due to the actual lines themselves.

The script is so wooden, that I thought I was watching a kind of spoof/parody movie during the first half hour. But they're serious. E.g. Main character comes across a little girl, dirty looking and alone, in the woods and his first response is to get mad at her for stealing his food...? Instead being concerned, because there is a friggin child abandoned in the wildlife middle of nowhere?

The story is basically about nothing, but the little plot that it does have, consists solely of clichés that have been done a thousand times before (and a thousand times better).

If you still watch this movie after reading this review, I wish you luck. My heart goes out to all the people who made this movie, don't quit your dayjobs folks!
