Let me start by saying that I had absolutely zero expectations for this movie and for that reason it did not disappoint. It was everything I never wanted and more. It’s another one of those “found footage” movies. But with a twist! There is nothing scary, frightening, or even remotely interesting. Two words: Canadian movie. So here is a Things I Fear Movie Review for Crowsnest, eh?
The first 30 minutes of the movie don’t need to happen. It’s just the most blatantly obvious setup for character development. I’m not even going to comment on the stupid lines and terrible acting. If you can just fast forward through the first half of the movie, you won’t regret the decision. Speaking of regretting the decision, have you checked us out on Facebook yet?
One point of note along the way: a Chupacabra strike. Potentially the highlight of both the movie and the Crowsnest movie review.
So after the seemingly 15-cylinder RV out-drives the pickup truck, things spiral out of control. It’s every man for himself when the village people attack. Incidentally, that’s an amazing tag line for this movie.
I think the worst part about this movie is that it’s not really all that terrible. I mean, don’t get me wrong it’s awful, but it’s not that atrocious considering it’s another Netflix product. It’s slow at first, but when it picks up it escalates quickly which is always good in a movie that otherwise has nothing good to boast about. The good part may not have lasted very long but it was good while it lasted. I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere but I refuse to stoop to the level of poorly constructed innuendos to instead focus on poorly constructed movie reviews like this Crowsnest Movie Review. A fair trade.
