Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This was a movie of great potential. I was immediately invested in the landscape and characters. But here's the thing - mountain climbing speaks for itself and so did the location. There was no reason for the movie to turn into a generic action film, but it did.

PROS: The build up of tension was good and the idea was good. Those two things together were enough for me to stay in sync with the movie. I actually really like the whole premise of the movie in fact. It takes basic horror attributes and combines them in a creative way like never before. As I watched I felt as though I ended up being one with the plot. I was thinking with the characters not for the characters, I was scared with the characters not for the characters, and most importantly I felt the same as the characters. This really helped the intensity of the movie making it scarier and more frightening.CONS: The most irksome thing that was done in this movie was to forget where the movie came from. The director had a great idea to start, and then tried to add more and fancy it up, which it didn't need. This really made the film confusing and unwatchable. I just got lost which is disappointing. The other thing has to do with the acting. Although some characters were extremely well crafted, others felt flat and boring. With such a large cast it is important, even if you don't have good actors, to have good characters. I can't even say this movie had bothwww.chorror.com

What is this new trend where movies end badly? Am I Old World to think some of the leads should live? Should we just wait it out, or I would like a subtle warning that everyone dies in the end. Very sad now after watching my last film. I had a different ending in mind. Damn you, producers, I am sure you feel smug and happy. Were you amused to give us a great story and then have it end badly? I would like to see the faces on your paying customers as they left the theaters. It was beautifully filmed, well acted, but I am sorry for it. Not a good review, is it? I will remember the Gilbey name to avoid in the future.

One of the best British films I have ever seen. Personally what made me want to watch it was Melissa George, after watching her amazing performance in Triangle and her exciting role in 30 Days of Night, she strikes me as a fantastic actress and I'll watch anything with her starring in it. Her role as Alison, a climber and a hiker is probably her most wild yet as she dangles off cliff edges and dodges bullets in this one of a kind thriller. The cast are brilliant who each deliver smashing performances, I really liked the characters so it was a shame when most of them got shot and fell victim to the ruthless kidnappers. The great thing about British thrillers or horrors is that the characters have a good bit of banter, as for A Lonely Place To Die there is plenty of it making this film quite humorous at times. There is no such thing as a perfect thriller, but if there was "A Lonely Place To Die" would definitely be a contender. The tension is relentless, you will be on the edge watching the characters hang in the balance. Guaranteed to leave you breathless, this film is a masterpiece for thrills and chills.
