Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

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

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

slayerjmk95 In 2012, a new TV show aired on ABC called "The River;" amongst the constant release of "found-footage" horror films, or those mixed with traditional film, it seemed only fitting that a television series be made too, since these movies were so popular. Sadly, "The River" was canceled after only 8 episodes, and in these 8 episodes (produced by legend Steven Spielberg) we were introduced to a place where everything we know is wrong. "The River" is centered around an expedition into the Amazon, where TV show host, role model, and father Emmett Cole (Bruce Greenwood) went missing after his 22-year of the Undiscovered Country, a TV series that involved him and his family traversing the wild. Lincoln (Joe Anderson), his mother Tess (Leslie Hope) and some of the old crew of the Undiscovered Country then begin searching for Emmett, who's last position was on the Boiuna, a part of the Amazon that mysteriously vanishes into dense forest."The River" is easily one of the most entertaining, thrilling television shows ever made, as its strong cast, great visuals, sleek directing and creativity create an engrossing atmosphere and characters that you love and ones you love to hate. I have no clue why this was canceled because there was so much potential for this show to be something extraordinarily great; a cross between Lost and Prometheus, except Prometheus is getting a sequel. Now, I would recommend this show to everyone because it is something truly different, and full of cerebral scares (and a few jump scares), but because of the way it's filmed I cannot; some people can't handle the "found-footage" angles and shots. But those willing to watch, mainly those who love sci-fi/mystery/horror, will not be sorry. Hopefully someone can get the guys at ABC or whoever to use Kickstarter to bring back The River.9/10 Stars

Moriaty Moriaty I don't understand other reviews. What is so scary in River? Maybe in Amazon for real to be with bleeding cut on the leg at night, in the water?The series is full of characterizations of characters, flashbacks from past etc...and I get nothing from them just bored. No feelings , nothing, empty...The story? OK could have potential, but somewhere along the way it got lost. Maybe when they found out that the "River" is being cut out of program. Don't know.But this is NOT "scary as hell" as some titles of reviews states, nor refreshing. It is adventure, but just promising in some parts that never fulfill that promises.I love horror, suspense, thriller, and adventure movies, and the "River" delivers it in a tea spoon every hour or so.For me it is not enough. And between those short scenes me and my girl were always on verge to just fast forward it to the net scene.I gave it a 2 stars.

bergeniz This seems to be Lost all over again. Some actors are good and they really do a good job, some of them are just BAD. And I mean bad. The way the show suppose to be, a kind of Docu, is some kind of stupid and sometimes just funny. Have you ever seen a Docu with flashbacks!!!? Andthe storyline is just not good at all. I think it is a kind of a weekend project, where the writer/s were in rush. Cooked up a history and make a show out of it. And come on Lost was good, but it ended really bad and again stupid. They should not do it all over again. So I gave it 1 of 10 and that just because of Bruce and Thomas. They try and sometimes when you try so hard you make things bad than they were to begin with. In the E2 Lincoln finds his Teddy Bear and he takes it with himself. He insists that they have to leave the camp because something grabs him and he means that is a phantom. Have you ever seen a 30 years old gay nagging about his Teddy Bear and just wants to take it with himself. What do you want to do with it, play after more than 30 years or what? or in the same Episode there is this girl wants to tell the story about a girl whom dead in the river. She can't stop smiling while she tells the story and this suppose to scare us. Come on. Just STUPID and awful

adam-318-61145 Seriously? what did he have to do with this because the acting is terrible! The plot is really cool and I admit I saw the trailer in my hotel room and thought it was amazing. But I honestly do not know for the life of me how they picked these actors! Seriously, the only one of them that can kind of act isn't even in really there in the first episode! I think that this is one of those scripts that was written for a movie and some producers got their hands on it and thought about a way for shooting a "tv movie" in the form of a series to see if they can make the next "Lost". I also found something interesting. Please go check the information about the statistics on the polling. Its quite interesting reading them as you find out Male / Female and the age bracket of people that are watching this! The highest score on IMDb being the category of girls under the age of 18. I laughed a bit. Saying all this, its quite a giggle and does past the time quite well....
