Terrible acting! This story is completely wasted on
A Book That Wanted to Be a Movie
I absolutely love the premise, but that's about it. This is a potentially good story seemingly badly written if the movie is any indication. It feels like a book that was trying to be a movie and yet failed at both.
While I liked the multiple POV approach, there's too much "telling," which is saying a lot when you consider that, again, this is a movie, folks, not a book.
The acting is cringe worthy most of the time, though Paul Winters almost redeemed it right at the end.
I know this is a low-budget flick, but come on... some scenes are so badly executed they would be laughable were this a comedy. (Don't even get me started on the "wolf dog.")
But hey, I also loved the rugged landscape scenery. There.
I really wanted to like and praise this movie, but sadly, this is the best I could come up with. What a goddamn shame.
Low budget, good story, bad acting
I watched it and enjoyed it, but it was definitely low budget. The acting by the peripheral characters was very bad.
