Capps Crossing

I'm someone who loves browsing Prime for indie horror movies. Some are hits, others are misses, and this is a miss. The acting is terrible as others have mentioned, however, I will say the villain really gave me the creeps. Not a big scary guy, just a creepy two faced incel/fake nice guy type. But I never understood what his motive for killing people was... because his girlfriend died accidentally? Didn't make sense. I don't totally regret watching it, if you're bored, it's only 86 minutes. There is no nudity or sex. They had the opportunity to show the girls in bikinis and didn't even take it... When your movie is this bad, a little skin never hurts.

This is a camping slasher film and we know David (Brian Cory) is the killer from scene one and then a year later in scene two where we also see the camera man's shadow. Very amateur mistake. Three couples go camping and geocaching in this same area and they meet David a seemingly nice guy who had a thing for Tracey (Sarah Leo) in a flashback that didn't work out. Now why he feels he must slice people, I didn't get the connection.

There is minor drama within the group that was not well written or performed. Ashley Sullivan is awfully cute but can't seem to make one line convincing. The sound track bored me as much as geocaching. The location is a real setting in California. The Mormon Emigrant Trail is famous to hikers. It is the path taken by Mormons who left Sutter's Ranch and went back home to Utah after the Gold Rush. While interesting, it didn't make the film or geocaching any more exciting. The killer was wimpy. I am not sure how he never got overpowered. Twist ending, if you make it that far.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Capps Crossing really nails the essential fears of camping outdoors. The movie has times when it gets very creepy and suspenseful. The locations are beautiful and the horror elements and gore are done really well. Strong recommendation for fans of the genre !

Crappy dialogue. The most redeeming quality was that the bad guy was at least fairly vicious. Not really that great on the acting part but the story and the ending was......hmmm, well mediocre really.

The killer was just about the wimpiest, nerdiest guy ever, I'm pretty sure my wife, who weighs 118 lbs, could kick his skinny butt. No scares, no story, laughable killer, really bad blood/gore effects. Any positive review on here is from someone involved with this turd.

Side note: with all the drop dead beautiful women trying to become actresses, why is it that every crappy movie on netflix or Amazon has totally unattractive female stars?
