Red Canyon would never had the opportunity to be laying there on horror conventions these days wasn't it that Norman Reedus was in it with his Walking Dead fame. On the other hand, the sleeve looked great and did remind you of a Rob Zombie flick. But we all know that sleeves and promotion on the sleeve can trick the potential buyer. I was fooled and only bought it for Reedus. It had so many possibilities to make it a great movie but the editing and the flash backs make this almost unwatchable. The throwback to explain what happened years ago are so badly done. The use frustrating shaky cams and in post production they added some blurry effect. By doing so the so-called gory parts are teared down to stupid scene's that do show a lot but doesn't work at all.The flick itself had an okay story and I could dig the story but sadly the editor destroyed this flick.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Films with Red in the title tend to be good for some reason. No i am not doing a list, though i will mention top Australian thriller Red Hill. This did not get a UK theatre release. I only know of it as it was given faint praise by Kim Newman in an issue of Empire mag on it's belated DVD release.It turns out to be a handsomely filmed Drama with horror overtones as two youngsters and their friends return to the family home in the badlands of Utah, where a brutal rape causes them to return to try to put it behind them. Not the best idea to say the least, but this manages to carry it off with a good script and decent acting.Think the opposite side of the plot in the excellent Wolf Creek and your nearly there. Well worth a look and there's a dog you would not take down the pub!

Warning, I did not see this film.In deciding to watch, I read the glowing reviews.Not just glowing, but reviews meant for real films with real actors, a real script and a real Director.I noted the reviews were the only ones written by a particular author. Not so unusual, but odds are a few reviewers would've written more than one review.Then there was the fact they were all 10 star reviews."Gee," I thought, "COULD THESE POSSIBLY BE FAKE REVIEWS???" Filmmakers, you're terribly misguided. And quite idiotic. Will you do anything to get people to watch this piece of crap? Why not write a good or at least better script instead.Your attempt at manipulation failed as all unctuous plots do when they test people's intelligence. And from a fellow filmmaker - screw you. You're everything that's wrong with the industry.

Red Canyon reminded me a lot of old-style horror movies, where the bad guys were believable & therefore more terrifying. Maybe it's just me, but once horror movies started to take turns with Michael, Freddie & Jason, I grew bored, quickly. A movie should be scary because it shows horrific things that could actually happen, and Red Canyon delivers that in spades.It's not slick, it's not "Hollywood-pretty", but it features some fantastic actors that are truly guided to do their best work by the director. I was most impressed with Norman Reedus (Boondock Saints). The scenery is perfect for a tale such as this. You're allowed to actually THINK while watching this movie; a respite from being spoon-fed (which makes for a boring movie), it's a much "smarter" film than your average horror fare.Horror is not normally my favorite genre, but I was really impressed with this movie. Great story, fabulous acting, etc. Was it sick and twisted? You bet. Did it scare the hell out of me? Yes, all three times I've watched it thus far! Was it awesome? Hell yes!! I really enjoyed it and will look forward to the next film by this director.
