Review of Timber Falls (2007) by Jens S — 26 Jun 2012
The story is not new: young couple goes hiking on the wrong trail and ends up in trouble. The shape of the trouble is so over the top and unrealistic here that it's hard to take it seriously. Christian fanatics may be a problem in certain parts of the world, but their motifs in catching the couple here lack any logic.
It doesn't help that the freak's make up is incredibly silly. There are still moments of excitement and at least our protagonists make a few smart decisions unlike the usual horror thriller victims.
So the result is not boring but overall just way too much over the top. It also drags on 15 minutes too long. And even though it doesn't mess up the rather decent ending, the last second scare is so obvious and stupid, you see it coming from a mile away.
