Rust Creek

What an amazing movie, the soundtrack, cinematography and acting surperb throughout! Never a dull moment, in fact I was enjoying it so much I didn't want it to end! I'm giving this gem of a movie 8, fantastic job to everyone involved.

I'm glad I gave this a try. After the first few minutes of yelling at the screen for her to do this not that (!) the story settled in and held my attention. All the actors were believable and I was hoping the formula was going where I thought it was because, you know, revenge is sweet! I recommend this one as a good Saturday afternoon kick back and watch an entertaining tale.

Aside from the female lead it's a story that's been told before only this time with a weird relationship between the female lead and her would be criminal captor/rescuer It's TV drama level acting and direction with a dull story not helping it out. Pretty sure this would only appeal to those who have a great fear of being lost in hill billy land otherwise avoid watching

Beautifully shot, delicately directed and acted. Production design was also really detail-oriented. And a lot of scores for films like this are somewhat cookie-cutter, but not Rust Creek! The composer did a standout job. I actually noticed how much I liked the music right away. Not to mention a handful of women behind the camera in key roles! Something I love to see. The acting really is phenomenal in this film. Hermione Corfield does such a great job, I almost forgot I was watching a movie. The relationships between the characters are believable and the pacing really kept me on my toes. I want to watch this one again because I feel like there are some details and things that I missed. It kept me on the edge of my seat and made me really take a hard look at how I would be able to survive in this kind of situation (not sure that I could, to be honest...). It was great!!

Rust Creek was a thriller that managed to transcend the genre. The plot had sufficient intriguing twists and turns. More importantly, the main characters were well-acted, and they quietly engendered a strong sympathy. The screenplay was intelligent and well-crafted. The ending was unusually well-done, particularly for this kind of movie..

I came in expecting the stereotypical "damsel in distress" horror movie, but it turns out Rust Creek is not that. At all. Anchored by the impressive performances of Hermione Corfield and Jay Paulson, Rust Creek is a unique little tale that offers both entertainment and food for thought. All the supporting performances were excellent and I liked the fact that it was filmed in the Kentucky woods, something rarely seen in cinema. Always great to find an indie gem & this one checks all the boxes!

Once again,the whole premise of the movie is based on the fact that the main character has to be a complete idiot. Maybe that's the theme with today's lack of common sense in people? 1) gets off highway to get past traffic. Fine, but follows "google maps" to a dead end. Instead of turning around and retracing her route, she continues until the road becomes nothing more than a path. 2) Stops,gets out of the car to read the map. Who the hell does that when it's cold outside? You sit in the seat, spread the map out in front of you and figure out where you are. DUH 3) Gets stabbed, runs away. Fine, Removes sweatshirt to patch stab, then leaves it behind. DUH 4) runs around for hours without tending the wound. Removes socks to treat wound the next day, removes socks to check, runs away yet again leaving "bandage" behind. 5) sees car wrecked by pursuers. Doesn't bother getting warm clothes, more items to bandage wound, immediately grabs phone and wanders around like a moron with her arm in the air looking for a signal once again, ignoring the wound in her leg. I'm only 30 minutes in, I'll keep watching to see what other idiotic things she does.
