Willow Creek (2013)
Terrible film
1 hour 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I'll break it down;
Plot 1/10 - Long drawn out first 40 minutes or so whilst our couple journey through the surrounding area of the big foot forest, followed by another 40 minutes actually in the forest. Both parts were equally as bad/boring.
Scares 1/10 - Total anticlimax, sounds were terrible (what was up with that long, blatantly human wale). Very amateur.
Acting 4/10 - The acting wasn't too bad to be fair. However not good enough to redeem the actual content of the movie in any way.
Ending 1/10 - Rubbish.
One of those films which I really wanted to turn off half way through, but thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. It's got to get good at some point, right? Wrong! Avoid at all costs.
All Is Lost (2013)
Wasn't feeling it
Really liked the look of this from the trailer, but oh what a disappointment it was! Couldn't get into it at all. No explanation what Redford's character was doing in the middle of the ocean (bar a very vague voice-over at the beginning of the movie), and I felt no connection to his character whatsoever, probably due to the lack of dialogue!. There is an over-long, very unnecessary section at the beginning of the film which very monotonous and should probably not have been included.
The music score is poor and also practically non existent.
There is some decent camera work/cinematography, which has caused me to give two stars instead of just the one!
This felt to me like a very poor man's version of 'Life of Pi'.
