Downhill

Pésimos actores, hay actores Chilenos mucho mejores...

Yes pun intended. Although if you're looking for humor, you shouldn't stop and watch this. Unless you like laughing at how bad some things are. Like the dialog, or the "acting". The story in general and some of the special effects too. Is there any saving grace? One of the accidental fun of course - and I guess if you like watching beautiful people, than there is something here for the eye too.

But as far as horror movies are concerned, this is very weak. I reckon if you haven't seen many, you might be mildly entertained. But mostly for the wrong reasons as mentioned above. I did watch it at a festival and it's always hard facing those who made this and put a lot of effort into this. Learning by doing though and maybe someday the result will be better

Let me start by saying this was filmed in 13 days, and it shows. Oh boy, does it show. Starring the underrated and potentially great action heroine Natalie Burn this Cabin Fever (2002) inspired mess truly has no idea what it wants to be.

It's one of those horrors which makes its rules up as it goes along, gets more than a little weird then forgets to bother explaining itself.

I walked away from the film scratching my head about what I'd just watched and more importantly why I had watched it in the first place.

If horror has taught me anything its that woods are bad places, simply don't go there or you'll meet monsters, rednecks or lots of screaming folk and shaky camera work.

The stories about the teddy bears picnic were lies, lies I tell you! Downhill does exactly that, downhill from the start and before the credits roll succeeds in mowing face first into a tree, backflipping three times and landing in that pile of dung from Jurassic Park (1993)

ENTERTAINING MOVIE, I DON'T THINK THAT VALLADARES PRETENDS TO MAKE OF THIS SCRIPT A BLOCKBUSTER, SO I THINK IT'S AN INTERESTING WORK, HE USES THE ELEMENTS HE HAS IN A GOOD WAY, FULFILLING WHAT HE PROPOSES, IT'S NOT HIS MASTERPIECE BUT I THINK HE'S A DIRECTOR WHO USES THE ELEMENTS AT HIS DISPOSAL IN A GOOD WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND OR DEPEND ON A BIG BUDGET TO MAKE A MOVIE.

The movie is a typical popcorn horror flick that isn't really doing anything new. Everything about it is average, from the acting to the special effects, but it all culminates into a highly entertaining film that shouldn't be dissected or over analyzed like some people reviewing it have been doing. It's a simple premise with a simple script, a b & C grade cast, and some competent special effects. But to act like this is such a horrible film is hyperbole at best and an indication that not everyone should be reviewing movies. Stop treating these movies as if they are supposed to be life altering experiences, and enjoy them for what they are; teh equivalent of reality TV, just condensed to an hour and a half.

With all that being said, the ending was SPECTACULAR. It's endings like that that make me glad to be a fan of the horror genre. To me, it more than made up for anything I found average in the film as a whole.

Go in expecting Shakespeare and you will be disappointed. Set your expectations accordingly, for the genre, and just have a good time. It's really that simple.
