Alexandra Paul, Brody Bett, Kareem Ferguson, Chris Demm, and Jared Laufree in Tethered (2022)

In the remote woods of North Carolina, a blind teenager named Solomon lives by himself in total isolation. Despite his impairment, Solomon is able to navigate his surroundings by tying a long rope around his waist that stays tethered to the cabin where he lives. Armed with only his tether, Solomon survives by fishing, foraging, and trapping small animals for food. His only other stimulation is a tape recorded message containing three mysterious rules: The First Rule: When you hunt or scavenge, do it for two - one for the forest and one for you.The Second Rule: When your will is almost gone and you feel like giving up, find comfort in singing our song.The Third Rule: You must never, ever let go of the rope.

The Rope Will Guide You

Its a slow burn that is for sure.

There was a lot that could of been answered or explained to give the movie a bit more coherence but was still very watchable. The main actor did a great job with the little he had.

I feel the pay off at the end did not match up to the length of the film, there was a lot of build up and suspense for a very predictable finale.

I think if you lke this film go and watch the 2020 film Hunter Hunter.

Very similar in pace and setting but with a better ending.

Hanging On

Tethered didn't have enough plot line to keep you roped in. Intriguing, yes - a blind boy alone in the woods. But the plausibility is weak and his mysterious guest doesn't do much to build the climax of the film.

I like it

The movie have nice story and the actors played well ! There is some minor things that you can feel it's a low budget movie , maybe it was produce with higher budget will be fantastic and worth 9/10.

In general I advise to see it!

remake of a short

It is artsy and pretty to look at but nothing happens in the plot. The first 40 minutes could have been condensed into a 10 minutes flashback. The ending was pointless and confusing. The whole thing is too cliché.

Good Potential

This movie had some good potential. The set up was intriguing and the slow starting pace did a fair job of drawing the viewer.

The acting was alright, but given it's more of an indie film you could overlook it and I still felt endeared to the characters. However, some of the music felt inconsistent and actually took me out of the immersion. Similarly, some of the visual shots seemed to be a good set up for a close up or some sort of follow up scene/dialogue but ended up leaving you hanging. (i.e. Hank reading the journal to Solomon felt cut off and I wanted more from the scene)

The final reveal was predictable and left me wanting something more. Ultimately the world building and story were on the right track, but the final product just felt a bit lacking.
