The Ravine

What a huge disappointment this movie was. First off, there's no indication in the categorization that it is a CHRISTIAN movie. I had to stop and back out to re-read the description and make sure. It says Mystery, Thriller. But this is definitely a faith-based movie along the lines of God is Dead. I don't appreciate being tricked into watching by dangling the mystery/thriller carrot. If I had paid for this, I'd be asking for a refund. It teases that there is a mystery to be solved which is a complete lie. There is no mystery, we know immediately who did what because they spend the entire movie hand wringing over how to forgive this evil person who doesn't deserve any sort of grace. But the over-arching message is that if you want to have peace within yourself, you have to forgive them no matter what despicable act they committed. And I know there's not a lot of great work in H'wood for mature black actresses, but I was even sadder to see the great Leslie Uggams being used in this fashion. Stalking around whispering magical affirmations to the kind non-black folk in town. This had the makings of a really good thriller but someone came along and layered it with mounds and mounds of christianity and ruined it. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Movie was great. A horrible act was committed twists and turns to the un expected. Moreover, this movie has a lessen for all to learn. The light of Love. It's not just another who done it murder with graphics .... with depressing ending .. it's so much more. It's what you learn from it.

I loved this movie. I am not a person that likes murders or mysteries. However, I was captivated right from the beginning. I was actually on the edge of my seat watching it. I did not move until it was over. This movie has a very strong message, that no matter what happens in life to look for the good in it. Also, how powerful forgiveness is. Forgiveness brings freedom. I was very moved by this movie and i would highly recommend it. In the world we live in, this movie is so appropriate and very inspiring. In moments and times or darkness, we can always look for the light!!!! I loved the crew, and the production of it. Very well done. Congratulations.

First, the "thriller" shelving is all wrong. It's only labeled such as a marketing tactic. At no point is a protagonist in danger. There is some "mystery," but that's hardly the point of the movie. It's a spiritual drama. Had it been shelved appropriately, I wouldn't have watched it tbh. But since I did, I must admit that I did desire to see the solution. It was a let-down. Even if I was interested in a spiritual drama, I wouldn't have been pleased. The film is almost entirely exposition and artlessly done. It's obvious and it all falls flat. I gave it a chance because it was on sale on Prime for 99 cents and because I recognized. Teri Polo from earlier work and Eric Dane from Euphoria. As skilled as they are, they couldn't save this project from poor writing and cinematography. A dollars a dollar but that 2 hours (a full 2 hour) would be nice to have back.

It's a movie of slow monologues, and is very strange as the stories don't seem to be a surprise to anyone. There is a lot of crying and emotion from the actors. It never quite fully develops, and it becomes pretty quickly apparent that something is not quite right about this movie and not in a unexpected, good way. I didn't even watch the end. I held out hope too long that the plot would develop past the Christian/ supernatural themes. Wish I had never watched it because it was a waste of time.

This was a wonderful movie with a hopefull and inspirational message. We all constantly have to choose between darkness and light. It is not a Christian movie, but rather a movie that looks at the impact of our choices on others - the dark choices and the good ones. I enjoyed it.

This movie was not a mystery OR a thriller. It was some kind of supernatural-old woman-can-see-things movie. I kept waiting for it to get good or even decent, but it never did. Another thing this movie isn't is FIVE stars - it's not even TWO stars! The people who made this movie must've coerced everyone they know to get this movie to the 5 star rating on the platform I rented it from - that's the only thing that makes sense. Please, and what I've said is just my opinion - you may feel differently, but please, don't buy this movie. If you have to waste your money and time on it - maybe because you lost a dare or a bet - rent it, and then try to forget it. Shouldn't be hard.

I really enjoyed this movie ...it drew me in and kept me there. Not a genre I have seen and very meaningful in todays world. Definitely a good reminder nothing is what it seems and the importance of digging deeper.

I enjoyed the film - even though the subject matter is not pleasant. Great cast and performances, in my opinion. A film built on spirituality, grief, and redemption. It's a drama, not a whodunit murder mystery. If religious movies turn you off - this won't be your cup of tea.
