Timberfalls

Oh Dear me..........Not sure about Timber but they should have used this one for Tinder............ A loved up couple Mike (Josh Randall ) and Sheryl (Brianna Brown) travel from Virginia to Lake Kimbrabow to spend the weekend hiking and camping in the woods. They ask for directions from the local ranger who advises them to follow the Donner trail (Wasn't it the Donner party that got snowbound in the Sierra's?........ or Did they run a Kebab shop can never quite remember?) however Mike meets redneck local Ida Forester in the woods (original surname right?) who tells them that Timber Falls has magnificent landscapes and a wonderful waterfall and the couple decide to head off . They set up camp but in the morning Sheryl is abducted while taking a dip in a nearby lake.

The desperate Mike seeks her out , and finds a deranged bunch of religious fanatics have her tied up in a cellar as they need someone to procreate on their behalf .............and after copping a look at Ida's brother you realise why .............he makes Quasimodo look like Cary Grant.............Mike too is abducted and it's a battle to get out of the root cellar as The Fighting Forester's inflict all sorts of weird punishments on them in an attempt to get the couple to produce a child and add to ther clan...........It's real garbage.............not sure how it got a cinena release?.........But put them all in a canoe and send them over the falls .............And save 90 minutes of your life...

SPOT THE CLICHE!

Granted, formulaic slashers draw a lot of enjoyment out of the fact that they are, well - formulaic. Couple go into the woods. Check. Couple do not stick to the route they are meant to. Check. Couple annoy a bunch of creepy/religious/deranged locals. Check.

Couple gets tortured and has to escape from particularly deranged psycho killer with a signature weapon. Check.

I could go on, but you get the picture. There are plenty of slashers that use the routine book and still succeed in making you jump and generate some great scares and tension (latest example The Strangers), but Timber Falls neither earns any brownie points for executing the rules well nor is it cheeky enough to not take itself too seriously.

I say don't bother and choose classic Slash Trash such as Wrong Turn instead, but if you must, then at least entertain yourself by shouting CHECK! each time you spot a badly executed cliche, starting with the title. (Cherry Falls, Darkness Falls anyone?)

Predictable and feels like a made-for-TV film

This felt like a cheaply made film from the start, and if you took out some of the gore it would be like so many other so-called made-for-TV horror films. The acting was bland and the story and violence predictable. It felt like a poor-man's version of numerous other 'Hillbilly Horror' films, such as the much-superior Wrong Turn and The Hills Have Eyes. Avoid.

A hilarious comedy

I was amazed at how funny this film was if not for the fact it was TRYING to be a horror film.

It had all the marks of a horror, that is until the porn scenes kicked and the pointless - anti-gun poop.

This film even made the wife giggle and she ain't too hot on horrors tbh but like i said, a great comedy

No No NO

Very bad horror flick. Most of the special effects were laughable, best bit was the blonde girl!

Worth A Watch

Dont listen to the critics... this is an average horror film. In fact it is better than many of the horror films I have seen. The stroy has been done before but never the less it is not as bad as some of the reviews!

DONT UNDERSTAND THE BAD RATINGS I THINK THIS IS A GREAT FILM!

Well i have seen this film a couple of times now and i think it's great. I think the storyline is well thought out and not just your average slasher film where a couple goes into the woods and gets cut up for no reason (it actually has a story line!)

I think if you like good horror films with a story then go for it and see what you think. By the sounds of the reviews you will either love it or hate it!

Personally i love it!

TIm Berrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ok, here is the premise.

City couple have trip into wilderness with boar s******g country folk and get threatened by the latter whilst getting it on. They manage to escape and to my surprise decide to carry on, and empty their colt 45 in the process. Then all hell brakes loose of course with those mad banjo deliverence types.

OH WOE!!!
