Red Canyon (2008) Reviews
I did not work on this movie!
I made the mistake of reading the IMDb reviews and forum posts on this title and believing them, what a sucker I am. This film was awful, if they had spent half the effort making it as they did flooding the internet with positive reviews it may have been watchable. It was not shocking, it was not "real", it was incredibly poor. Here is an example of the "amazing" acting: Woman opens cupboard, shotgun fall onto her making her fall onto the ground(it must be a very heavy shotgun!!), the gun goes off inches from her head and she casually says, " I hate it here". WTF!!!!!!!! I have been unable to find a single honest review on the internet of this film, unless you really believe it is a 10/10 shockfest, the most amazing, sick, romantic, gory, dramatic, life changing event of the century then I suggest you stay away.
The Amazing 10 Star Reviews
Warning, I did not see this film. In deciding to watch, I read the glowing reviews. Not just glowing, but reviews meant for real films with real actors, a real script and a real Director. I noted the reviews were the only ones written by a particular author. Not so unusual, but odds are a few reviewers would've written more than one review. Then there was the fact they were all 10 star reviews. "Gee," I thought, "COULD THESE POSSIBLY BE FAKE REVIEWS???" Filmmakers, you're terribly misguided. And quite idiotic. Will you do anything to get people to watch this piece of crap? Why not write a good or at least better script instead. Your attempt at manipulation failed as all unctuous plots do when they test people's intelligence. And from a fellow filmmaker - screw you. You're everything that's wrong with the industry.
Total waste of time
I don't know how anyone who has actually seen other movies would call this a movie with great acting. This movie is clouded with sophomoric scare tactics and so much melodrama that it was actually way more humorous than scary. I wont even address the ridiculous plot but i would like to thank the other reviewers on this forum who have referred to this as a great horror flick that "requires thought." It does require thought in the same manner that reading a Peanuts comic strip requires thought. There is nothing complex or creative about this film. I was hoping that this would turn out to be one of those hidden gems that somehow missed the popular audience and for the first 10-15 minutes there seems to be just enough promise to keep the viewer locked in. It quickly spirals from there however and manages to commit enough tacky plot drifts that it becomes impossible to forgive. Ultimately if your looking for an intelligent horror flick with decent acting keep looking.
Terrible horror thriller.
Red Canyon starts as brother & sister Devon (Tim Draxl) & Regina (Christine Lakin) along with several of their friends drive along the long isolated desert highways of Utah en-route to their hometown of Red Canyon, in an attack which still haunts Regina she was raped in a old mine shaft a few years earlier & Devon feels that facing up to the attack will help her get over it. Regina heads to the mine to confront her fears but is attacked again & barely manages to get away, the cops are called the drug making rapist is arrested but soon finds himself free when the Sheriff is murdered by his mates who release him. The rapist & killers & drug dealers all head over to where Devon, Regina & their friends are & terrorise them as they kill them one-by-one... Co-written, co-produced & directed by Giovanni Rodriquez this boring & silly horror thriller is pretty poor, apart from some nice views Red Canyon the film & the town has little going for it. The script is a cross between all those sandy desert set horror films like The Hills Have Eyes (2006) with it's location & teen slasher feel & Straw Dogs (1971) with it's theme of rape & a spirited fightback by the potential victims, only it's nowhere near as good as either of those films. The script tries to be too clever for it's own good, there are constant confused flashbacks to earlier events that are different each time & are just randomly edited into the main film & the final ten minutes is supposed to feature several twist's but they are all pretty predictable, aren't properly explained & don't make a whole lot of sense when you think about them. Running just over 90 minutes Red Canyon is pretty dull & boring, every aspect of Red Canyon is taken from another better film & are just thrown together with little purpose. There is one piece of really bad scripting that is amongst the worst I have ever seen, while hiding in a secret tunnel Regina decides to try & grab her necklace which she dropped & sicks her hand out of the cover to try & find it but the killer then see's her & everyone's cover is blown for no great reason. I mean why give yourself away when you have a good hiding place? All for a stupid necklace? The scenery is quite nice I suppose, it's fairly well made if forgettable & all too familiar. There's not much gore & the rape isn't graphic either. There's lots of annoying scares like Dog's suddenly coming out of nowhere & barking, noises outside a window that turn out to be Cow's & lots of teens walking around in the dark. With a supposed budget of about $1,500,000 this was filmed in Utah, it has reasonable production values but is forgettable. The acting is alright, no-ones going to win any awards though. Red Canyon is a poor patchwork horror film that steals it's ideas from better films & doesn't even make the most of them, I can't say i enjoyed the confusing mix of flashbacks, daft twist's & dumb teenagers. I didn't like it.
destroyed by shaky cams and bad editing
Red Canyon would never had the opportunity to be laying there on horror conventions these days wasn't it that Norman Reedus was in it with his Walking Dead fame. On the other hand, the sleeve looked great and did remind you of a Rob Zombie flick. But we all know that sleeves and promotion on the sleeve can trick the potential buyer. I was fooled and only bought it for Reedus. It had so many possibilities to make it a great movie but the editing and the flash backs make this almost unwatchable. The throwback to explain what happened years ago are so badly done. The use frustrating shaky cams and in post production they added some blurry effect. By doing so the so-called gory parts are teared down to stupid scene's that do show a lot but doesn't work at all. The flick itself had an okay story and I could dig the story but sadly the editor destroyed this flick. Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
