Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

When Christian, an LA trust-fund kid with casual ties to Hollywood, learns of a secret affair between Tara and the lead of his film project, Ryan, he spirals out of control, and his cruel mind games escalate into an act of bloody violence. The Canyons was so terrible that they actually had to use a real life pornstar for some reason as one of the main leads plus Lindsay Lohan hasn't made a good film in like ages or something? Please do not see this sex driven porn movie and go watch anything from the stars to the sun or just the beautiful night. (0/10)

This is a very interesting watch. The combination of Ellis and Schrader is a genuine treat. Lohan does a great job of doing what she does. And the other actors brilliantly keep the movie rolling.It is an intriguing story of actors and wealth in Los Angeles, particularly the Canyons. The film delves into pornography and murder, which at times can get rather boring. But it definitely held my attention, and is my favorite type of movie.7 Stars

The film is garbage of course, but a few things that could have helped make it watchable.1) Shooting in HD will make your film look like poop- This isn't Paul Schrader's first rodeo, and yet he chose to shoot the film like a UCLA graduate. This guy made beautiful films in 35mm like Cat People, Mishima, and American Gigolo, but yet he actually wanted to shoot in a distracting, garish, noisy, unfilmlike format. If he couldn't scrounge up another $300K to shoot on film, then this shouldn't have been made.2) Hire people who can act- And it wasn't just the porn stugats either, nobody else could act except for Lohan. I understand the casting in this film was part of some internet promotion/gimmick and it shows. There are all kinds of actors in LA and Europe who can act who would have done this for peanuts and they managed to hire an entire cast who couldn't.3) The music was atrocious- Indie schlock that nobody cares about, shoehorned into a film where it doesn't belong. This is another bad directing decision from someone who should know better.The premise of the film is interesting and there is some good dialogue, but that isn't enough. It has to look and sound like an actual film instead of an amateurish mess in order to interest people.

I will be honest here gone are the days of 90s when we used to have great soft core films i still love those plus the cast used to be filled with some of the hottest women in the world i can name a few like Shannon Tweed,Shannan Leigh,Gabriella hall or even Rochelle Swanson but now its a new era where people prefer action & guns over sexy women the director Paul Schrader tried to blend some of that 90s stuff for todays audience but failed to realize that soft-core and hardcore films do exist even today launching it into a theatrical release using one biggest star Lindsay Lohan will not make it a success.The Plot:the story is about Christian a strange film producer who gets mad and chooses path of violence when he finds out about the affair between cast members Tara and Ryan.There was no strong base in the story it offers nothing new that we haven't seen before also this triangular love story is really becoming useless,old,boring and uninteresting the actors did not have much to do here the script never allowed the characters but if you are looking for some nudity and hot sexy scenes there is only one epic scene in the start of the film with Tenille Houston it is amazingly shot.The Cast:Lindsay Lohan got wasted here & James Deen is a porn actor but he did better then many actors but the only great lady worth looking in this film is Tenille Houston she got the looks plus good dialog delivery sadly she is not famous i loved her performance & will be looking forward to more of her films.Overall this project took itself too seriously and became hilarious at many points it will kinda remind you of wild things series so my rating for The Canyons 2013 is 4/10.
