Getaway

Tamara Miller (a solid and appealing portrayal by Jaclyn Betham) and her two gal pals go to a lake for a weekend getaway. Things turn sour when Tamara runs afoul of a backwoods cult who plan to sacrifice her. Director/cowriter Toran Caudell relates the deceptively familiar and enjoyable story at a quick pace, takes time to develop the characters, generates a good deal of tension, and pulls off a real doozy of a surprise twist in which the gals turn the tables on the vile predatory guys. The sound acting from the capable cast helps a lot: Scott Taylor-Compton as the perky Maddy, Landry Allbright as the sassy Brooke, Toran Caudell as the mean Marv, Lane Caudell as the wicked Pa, and Noah Lowdermilk as nerdy wimp Kib. Moreover, this film deserves extra points for the crafty way it plays around with basic audience expectations. A cool little flick.

Guaranteed murder every 5 -10 minutes. The girl who played the director in the film, Abigail Haggerty, was a revelation! Really fun romp, an homage slasher films. Great performances all around.

Jesus...where do I even start. First of all, everything looks like The Lumineers fan club reunion. The plot is ridiculous, acting is horrible, and everything is so bad that I honestly thought that genre is horror comedy

"Getaway" blends traditional survival, backwoods horror and occult themes. The story starts innocent enough with almost clinched breadth. A lot of the premise hangs on pulling out those expected tropes and lulling you into believing you have seen this film before, sure with other characters and a different title. However "Getaway" offers a twist within a twist that really works well, and is wickedly delicious. The characters are strong, female driven leads that look comfortable and entertaining on screen. The cast give up their craft to these women easily, which makes "Getaway" captivating. The pace of the film is a little too slow burn but so much of the story's suspense rests on a even, tense pace to let dark nature of the situation unfold. For the most part it works, I would have liked a bit more amplitude after the twist begins but the film doesn't really suffer. The horror elements are mostly atmospheric and sound driven moments of chilling interaction between "predator and prey". There is some kill sequences but mostly the nightmare is a series of subjective situations where protagonists face off with the antagonists. Still the twist reveals all, I don't want to spoil the ending. It is a clever one. Indie horror fans will definitely enjoy this one.

Ok , the story was that of a 14 year old trying to scare friends on Halloween night. actors (i use this term loosely) were nothing more in quality than that of a drama class at a high school, in fact, worse. the cameraman must have been filming whilst on a skateboard with a wheel missing. i did however watch this total dross all the way through, in the main so you guys dont have to! everything in its entirety is poor about this piece of film , from wardrobe to dialogue, plot, effects, sound, camera work, oh its awful. at best this is high school project level cinema.

This was an episode in the recent Twilight zone remake, then it was rewritten by a 15 yr old and turned into a film by people who had average cinematography skills, poor SFX skills and then cast whichever hot looking actresses they could find to perform awful dialogue. If your bored and nothing else on maybe give it a go. I'm being generous giving it a 4/10 something tells me the budget ran out and these is what they could piece together.

I watched this last night and I must say that I did not expect the story to be this interesting when it reached near the end. without giving anything away I can say that those who are fans of gore and blood you will be disappointed as there is little to none, I was expecting it to be this....also, the 3 ladies are real lookers and played their part well.. good ending as well.. overall, if you cannot find a good movie., you may want to check it out...story is really easy to understand as well..

They did not even bother to finish editing in the sound effects for the guns. It was bad on a story level, (no plot), poorly edited, horrible acting.. If it were a student film they should get expelled.
