Donner Pass (2011)

Historicaly Inaccurate But Still An Awesome Movie

[8/10 · 20 January 2012]

Overall the movie was really good. I only watched it because I really like the Donner Party Story and because I don't read synopsis I assumed this movie was about the original story. I was mad when the first 5 minutes were very wrong about the actually events. When it turned out it was a horror movie based on the events I was willing to give it a chance.

It turned out to be a really good lower budget with good actors and an unexpected plot twist. For a movie in it's class the acting, casting and production value was excellent. Overall a good horror movie for any one who enjoys them and I would definitely recommended it.

Triangle (2009)

Its 40 minutes of film spread out over and hour and 40 minutes .... WASTE of time!

While the actors and everything in the movie are totally fine the script is completely predictable and idiotic. I can't understand the other reviews where people find this movie original and "on-the-edge-of-your-seat". Seriously the movies is good up to about the 40 minute mark when everything goes down hill. Anyone with half a brain from this point can figure out the entire movie and is forced to endure the rest of it in hopes that there is actually some kind of new material mixed in with it. I assure you that there is not. So please save and hour and 40 minutes of your life. Its the same scenes for the next hour only a different camera angle most of the time.
