This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I'll try to be short and sweet. The directors and writers had an opportunity to tell an interesting, albiet messed up, story. They flopped. Camera work is shoddy. I could hardly understand half the dialogue. If I hadn't already known most of the story, I really don't think any of it would have made sense. Honestly, I watched it for Mr. Reedus. Even though his character is important to the story, he's really not in it enough to constitute watching it just for the eye candy.

I made the mistake of reading the IMDb reviews and forum posts on this title and believing them, what a sucker I am.This film was awful, if they had spent half the effort making it as they did flooding the internet with positive reviews it may have been watchable. It was not shocking, it was not "real", it was incredibly poor.Here is an example of the "amazing" acting: Woman opens cupboard, shotgun fall onto her making her fall onto the ground(it must be a very heavy shotgun!!), the gun goes off inches from her head and she casually says, " I hate it here". WTF!!!!!!!! I have been unable to find a single honest review on the internet of this film, unless you really believe it is a 10/10 shockfest, the most amazing, sick, romantic, gory, dramatic, life changing event of the century then I suggest you stay away.

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.

Red Canyon feels like it's somewhere between a horror film a film noir set in the American west. It shares the same sense of heart pounding suspense and build - up that High Tension had - the same excruciating sense of dread until the final awful confrontation. It will also keep you guessing like no film I've ever seen before. In many ways it's flawed - but I liked those flaws - because they let you fill in your own story line - not everything is fed to you - and days after the movie you still kind of wonder about each detail in the story and if you've read what you've seen correctly. I watched it with a friend of mine - and she was almost started crying at the end. As much as it's a horror film - it gives you that feeling of reality and in a VERY strange way touches some of the deepest fears and taboos in our every culture.
