Mjeteconer Just perfect...

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

BA_Harrison Young couple Mike (Josh Randall) and Sheryl (Brianna Brown) go hiking in the wilds, but ignore the advice of the park ranger, opting instead to take a trail suggested by forest dweller Ida (Beth Broderick). After a tense run-in with three local hunters, Mike and Sheryl find a quiet spot to pitch their tent and indulge in a spot of love-making. Waking up early next morning, Sheryl decides to take a naked swim in a nearby lake, but never returns to the camping ground, leaving a frantic Mike to go in search of his missing girlfriend. After another run in with the troublesome hicks from the previous day that leaves him seriously wounded, Mike finds himself being tended to by Ida, but comes to suspect that the woman might have something to do with Sheryl's disappearance…Timber Falls is what you get when you take a routine backwoods horror plot and inject a little torture into proceedings for good measure: it's Wrong Turn with a touch of Hostel by way of Misery, Deliverance and TCM, and as such offers seasoned horror fans very little to get excited about, wheeling out some of the most well worn clichés of the genre (in addition to some glaring stupidity from its protagonists). It's all here, from the early run-in with the hillbillies, to the predictable twist that sees seemingly friendly characters turning out to be anything but, to the introduction of a deformed relative who is handy with a wickedly sharp implement. This lack of originality continues right down to the very last shot which is guaranteed to elicit a groan from most viewers.A reasonable cast, competent direction from Tony Giglio, and just enough nudity (a sex scene and a skinny dip from Brianna Brown) and nasty gore (finger removal, flogging, an axe in the head, a decapitation) ensure that proceedings never become completely tiresome, but with so little in the way of genuine innovation, the whole thing ultimately proves to be a rather forgettable effort. 5.5 out of 10, but not quite good enough for me to round it up to a 6.

orlandoblooms-140-414927 I skipped supernatural for this? It's extremely cliché and Wrong turn was better. When they lady got decapitated the graphics were terrible. If you expect anyone to still be pregnant after all that? Then there's seriously something wrong. Someone who was pregnant and then went into a situation like that would have lost it. Then the ending? Really!?! I'm sure Deacon is dead and wouldn't come back so the double sided sickle wouldn't have appeared. I really hope there isn't a sequel! Especially after the disaster of a movie this was! You could tell that when Micheal was being punched for using foul language that it was faked. Especially when the camera angle was turned to face them as a side view and you couldn't see the guys fist connect with the others face. There were no bruises or marks showing he was punched.

sddavis63 All the major clichés of the genre seem to get wound up in this movie. A young couple go camping in the mountains of West Virginia and end up in the clutches of a murderous local backwoods (and somewhat backwards) family. How original can this be? Well, the answer is not very. About the only part of the standard cliché that was left out was cannibalism! It's not that the movie was a waste. It actually had quite an eye- catching opening, and the performances were surprisingly good (a judgment which may admittedly be more a factor of my own low expectations than anything.) For a while there's also a pretty fair level of suspense, and good use of the setting.But the good is outweighed by more problematic aspects to the story. My first question revolved around why this couple even got into this situation. They were warned to stay off all but two trails. Then, when they first ran into trouble on the trail they chose (not one of the two,) why continue on. After an encounter with that first group of backwoods thugs, I think I'd have gotten out of there as fast as I could. The movie ends up going for one of the unfortunate choice to make the backwoods killer family a bunch of religious wackos, for no truly obvious reason that I could see, but crosses certainly abound in this. The movie gets increasing and graphically gory as it moves along, and some of the gore near the end comes across as silly rather than believable. It all culminated in an admittedly unexpected but also completely inexplicable (and somewhat nonsensical) very last shot before the credits begin to roll.Granted that there are some good things involved with this, but they can't save an unoriginal, cliché-ridden piece of work.

Paul Andrews Timber Falls starts as loving couple Mike Warren (Josh Randall) & Cheryl James (Brianna Brown) arrive at Lake Kumbrabow State Park near West Virginia to go hiking for a couple a days, local Park rangers advise them to stick to patrolled paths but Mike & Sheryl decide to hike to Timber Falls after a woman named Ida (Beth Broderick) says the scenery is better. Mike & Sheryl set up camp & the following morning Mike wakes up to find Sheryl has disappeared, after being caught in a bear trap Mike is rescued by Ida & she tends to his wounds at her house. Worried for Sheryl Mike insists that Ida call for help but she doesn't & Mike becomes suspicious, Mike discovers that Ida is being held by a deformed freak in Ida's basement & that Ida & her husband Clyde (Nick Searcy) have a twisted plan for Mike & Sheryl...Co-written & directed by Tony Giglio this backwoods brutality horror thriller is watchable enough for it's type but it's not something that I would call great, a mixture of classic films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) & Wrong Turn (2003) without really adding anything new or particularly memorable. The script is strictly routine in everything it does, the two big city civilized victims who take a wrong turn & make some bad decisions after which they end up at the mercy of inbred & or deformed Redneck or Hillbilly psycho's who torture them & abuse them for the remained of the film until they manage to turn the tables although here in Timber falls there's an awful twist ending in which the deformed mutant ends up at Mike & Sheryl's house over a year after he was supposedly killed. The body count is fairly low, a woman jumps to death off a cliff during the opening sequence but then no-one gets killed until the last fifteen minutes & as such Timber Falls often doesn't feel like a ten slasher but that's exactly what it is only without the large body-count. There are some glaring moments of stupidity too, why does Sheryl wait so long to admit she's already pregnant? Given the choice between being brutally tortured & having sex with your girlfriend most people would surely choose to have sex? So why then does Mike refuse & let himself & Sheryl be tortured for so long? It just doesn't sit well with me. The psycho's here are religious nuts & once again the whole idea of these deeply religious people torturing & killing people just seems contradictory, the deformed psycho Deacon is never more than an inferior Leatherface rip-off which his arsenal of rusty blades. knives & weapons. Then there's the infamous head scratching scene in which after being threatened & robbed by three Hillbillies the couple actually carry on hiking & Sheryl amazingly makes Mike throw all the bullets from his gun away.To it's credit Timber Falls is well made & a pretty glossy looking film, the photography & lighting are slick, there's no CGI computer crap just good old fashion make-up effects & there's a definite backwoods feel although it's maybe a little bright at times. The gore levels are alright but maybe because Mike & Sheryl are held captive for so long you think you see more than you actually do, a woman has long metal nails through her hands which she then rips out, a man is whipped, a little finger is cut off, people are beaten, a guy gets an axe in the head, someone is decapitated, people are shot, someone gets a knife in the neck & there's a fair amount of blood splatter too. Not the goriest film out there but still quite brutal at times I suppose.With a supposed budget of about $2,600,000 this was set in Virginia but actually filmed in Bucharest in Romania. The acting is alright, the two leads were cast for their looks while the two main psychos are pretty good.Timber Falls is a competent backwoods horror thriller that is well made, moves along at a decent pace & has a few nice torture scenes but a silly script that defies logic & common sense at times & a lack of originality prevent it from being anything more than merely watchable if there's nothing better to watch.
