Watch Red Canyon For Free

Too much of everything

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Red Canyon follows Devon and Regiina and their friends on their visit to an old family home. Unfortunately, a depraved incident happened years ago, which has consequences in the present day.Thankfully, unlike with say, that "Friday the 13th" remake, it actually feels like they're on vacation. For example, when the group is split up, someone asks whether they're going to return to the others before finding somewhere they can have lunch; which may be a little thing but it helps. Also, as they're arriving everyone seems tired of the others, something that often occurs during long road trips.Unfortunately that leaves less time for actual characterisation. Regina seems traumatised by the past events, Tom seems to be the obnoxious guy and Terra might be the slutty girl unless that scene's intention was to characterise another guy as lecherous. That's about it.Actually there isn't much splatter on screen but what's seen tends to be brutal. What drags the film down though is... without spoilers, I can only say there's a very long explanation of the past event which drags on for around ten minutes towards the finale. That's when I stopped caring, incidentally.The film shows some promise and while decent, ultimately it's nothing special.

This movie was totally awesome! Loved it all! Norman Reedus was terrifying and in control. There were so many twists and things you wouldn't expect. I watch this movie at least twice a day since I got it. It's sick but brilliant! If you have a hard time watching movies that contain certain graphic moments then this is not the movie for you. If you can handle it and like to see some good killing then watch this. It will blow your mind! I have to admit there are some bad acting in here but it's not that bad. There could have been a little more gore for a rated R horror movie but it's still good. Reminds me of House of 1000 Corpses. Norman Reedus is my favorite in this. He's the best of the best and can do anything. A shame what happens. But all in all it's a pretty damn good flick!

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 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.
