Quarries (2016)
Strong performances.
Very impressed. Not a big budget, but every dollar well spent.
The IMDb score was low, but some reviews were strong so I gave it a try- in fact, some loved it and some hated it, not much in between (more on that at the end).
The acting brought it all together. In fact the acting was so strong that I could have used more of the scenes as the women were getting to know each other, working out how their personalities were going to fit during the trip. That said, once the horror aspect began, the Deliverance variation was well-done; instead of the Appalachians, we're getting the Pacific Northwest.
A last note: some clear misogyny in some reviewers is leading to a score well below what it deserves. A shame.
The Human Race (2013)
You want something different?
If you want something different, then gives this film a go. It's not a big production and that's obvious from the get-go. If you absolutely need great packaging, Hollywood polish and established actors coupled with true and tried cinematography, give it a miss, because it's rough around the edges. If instead you're looking for something out of the box, east of the formula, with a a nice touch of what-if-this-was-me, then tune in and prepare for a sweet ride. What would you do in this scenario? You like what-ifs? Then tighten that seat-belt. Where does the line between ethics and survival get drawn? Be honest with yourself, who would you have been in the movie? Must say this was a great 87 minutes spent.
