A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Roman Sampson
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

X MOOR is one of those cheap digital horror flicks which seems to consist entirely of a bunch of annoying characters running around and screaming at each other. The screaming is incessant and irritating, and the characters are irritating in the extreme, without one likable part (or actor) in the whole movie. The setting is Exmoor, where a couple of researchers are looking for a big cat but find some disturbed individuals instead. I don't know about you, but I care nothing for these dull, greyed-out horrors with their attempts to make you jump, and this Northern Irish effort is as routine and uninteresting as the next.

First - and yes THIS IS A SPOILER - the film is a bait and switch. It's not about a killer panther, but a human killer. Thankfully they let you know within the first act, which means some viewers will make the wise choice to put something else on. It would suck if they paid for it and got swindled, but at least they could save themselves some time. I found it on Netflix and, unfortunately, decided to stick with it for the rest of the runtime. Basically the whole thing is annoying characters making infuriatingly stupid decisions over and over. And over. And the events of the last fifteen or so minutes feel like they were drawn out of a hat - just completely random stuff lacking any trace of forethought. So, don't waste your time.

'X Moor' is about two documentary filmmakers in search of a giant cat - this is the perfect opportunity to save a few $$$ and go the found footage direction, but Luke Hyams decided to take the more expensive, slightly more difficult approach.. You know, he went ''old school.'' Kudos to him.The first half of the film is solid. Nice build up, tension, character development. But it's not long before we discover the cat isn't the main attraction. Yes, Luke decided to take the 'more is more' approach, and toss in a serial killer. I knew at this point the film was going to go downhill pretty quickly, since most directors cast the most pathetic actor they can find, to play their films villain - and, since we all know Luke Hyams is a 'more is more' kind of guy, I figured he'd manage to throw in the giant cat somewhere along the way, because, that's just what 'more is more' guys do. I was right one both accounts, but it doesn't really matter, since the entire second half of the film ends up being complete nonsense, anyway. Michael Myers couldn't have saved the final 40 minutes.The acting is passable, until Mark Bonnar (carried the first half) ends up meeting his maker (a pathetic end to a solid character.) Turning all attention to our lead actress - This ends up being a huge mistake, because we quickly discover that, well, she's awful. Every scene that she's in without her supporting men, is borderline amateur. The film is also fairly dark throughout, but never to the point you can't see what's going on.Random Ramblings of a Madman: Not since 'Treehouse' has a film switched from solid to bad, as quickly as 'X Moor.' 'The Jungle' already did the whole giant cat documentary thing, so I knew the upside of 'X Moor' was going to be pretty low to begin with, but I still would have preferred a killer cat to whatever the hell I just saw throughout the second half of the film. And why do you build up Mark Bonnar's character, just to kill him off in such a pathetic manner?Luke, check out 'House of the Devil' and 'The Tunnel.' Less is more, my friend.

I'm not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating on IMDb. I just saw this, and it was fun. It had a natural flow, and I liked the main character a lot. There was a twist at the end that was very unexpected. However, what happens to the bad guy was kinda silly, but it didn't negate the rest of the movie.Melia Kreiling was very believable, and she seemed believable scared throughout her time in the forest. I think we'll see more films with her in the future.I recommend this film. It's a solid, original thriller, and I'll watch it again. I gave this a 7-star rating.
