Stars: Christopher Mann, Laura L. Cottrel, K.J. Linhein, Ernie Hudson, Doug Bradley, Tom Detrik, Kevin Fennell | Written and Directed by Christian Grillo
Originally titled Deer Crossing, Wasteland comes from Christian Grillo, who not only wrote and directed the film but also edited it a well; and judging by the end result he should probably had help on all three counts! I always approach low-budget independent cinema with an open mind and nary an expectation, after all you can’t compare these types of flicks to big-budget Hollywood flicks. But what you can can do is compare them to others of their ilk – and even comparing it to the lowest of low budget flicks, Wasteland fares pretty badly…
The film sees Maggie Chancelor and her son Cole involved in an accident on their way to visit family. The pair are found by Lukas, a farmer, who takes them to his farm...

*full disclosure: an online screening of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment. Director/writer: Christian Grillo. Cast: Christopher Mann, Laura L. Cottrel, Doug Bradley, Ernie Hudson and K.J. Linhein. Osiris Entertainment is one of this film fan's favourite distributors. They are based in Chatsworth, California and they tend to pick indie productions for their markets. Some of their films have been excellent such as: Ashes, Monsters in the Woods and Night Drive. But, every so often they will back a dismal project like Behind Your Eyes. Deer Crossing falls in this second less thrilling category. Deer Crossing is an indie film production that was likely made for under 15K. The film notably stars: Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), Ernie Hudson (The Crow) and Christopher Mann. These actors are under utilized in a film that has no sense of pacing. There is no tension here, in what is supposed to be a thriller.

The filmmakers behind Deer Crossing pointed us to this trailer for their backwoods thriller. The film centers around retired police detective Derrick Stanswood (Christopher Mann), who is called by a successful doctor about an unsolved case involving his wife Maggy and their son, Cole. Chasing after loose ends in a backward rural town, Derrick has no idea that Maggy has been held captive for the past eight years by farmer Lukas Walton (K.J. Linhein, "Jebediah"), who is raising Cole as his own son in a wrongful world that holds its own horrors. (I presume Cole is being raised to be a killer. "Raising" maniacs appears to be a popular theme in the genre today with films like Chained and Bereavement .) Christian Jude Grillo directs and Doug Bradley and...
