Description:
The first part of this film talked about some crazy forest named Vern, who has kidnapped the girl as a trophy bride, and behind him were chasing his father is an experienced hunter. Now the sequel is a similar story with a small innovation. As it turned out, the villain survived (who would doubt?..), immediately wholesale now having tracked down a trio of ladies decided to arrange camping along the way in the local region returned his dad that actually explains the prefix in the title of the painting “Reunion”, translated into Russian — “the Reunion”.
Immediately speaking about the disadvantages of staging the hunt highlight a major flaw. She was inappropriate too frequent jumping between nested ideas from one to the other. Initially before us the makings for a typical, conventionally called “forest” slasher or Thriller, which will be cut off from everyone and everything the heroine terrorized by a maniac dressed in animal skins. Only the degree of audience of the voltage drops on the screen by purchasing a whole new round of developments where they fall captive to it, getting a crazy sort of a simple Forester, trivial responds to the fair sex, due to their solitary life. Following two hostage run, adjusting for expected intelligent symbiosis of confrontation-survival of the savage forest, knowing every Bush like the back of my hand, and trying to save girlfriend easy girls. But the author is an unpleasant surprise, fashioning from fragile heroine implausible Rimbaud, uses inept karate and gymnastic pirouettes. Well and further — more that every ten minutes the mood of the picture moved in a random manner from the serious to the silly.
This same chaos applies not only to detachment from realism, and poorly written characters, but in the layering, nedovedeniya to logical intelligibility. For example, the image of crazy, at first it is a typical villain who kills first, but after a while he claims to be a positive defender of the forest, fighting against poachers greedy for the thirst to take the life of animals for trophies of skins and horns. After a moment, he again with a manic grin threatening to deal with innocent girls. Thus arose Thriller gives way to a clumsy echo of the ecological Manifesto on the protection of our little brothers, showing them poor victims that are designed only to wall stuffed. And to sit on two chairs, the Director has failed, simplifying both directions. However great the already ruined primitivism feed the inability to be delicate. In one Comedy thrash-horror movie has funny dialogue:
“Now I’ll show you.
– How?
– The flashback.”
Here and there the author, as if remembering that without nudity in his film and not a film at all, took sharply shoved a bed scene is a long close unmotivated flashback. But if a girl wants to attract the attention of a passing helicopter, then immediately throws off the jacket and running top-Lesse…
However, pointing out mistakes, not forgetting about too-manicured look of a crazy hermit living in a cave, need to mention the pleasant moments. Clearly failed the very nature of undergoing the viewer in a beautiful forest place Canada. The operator extracts from the background many interesting shots with wild animals, ohrana “picture” inexpressible surroundings clean from civilization nature with gurgling rivers, green trees, and high mountain slopes, where ever the action unfolds. Large panorama — additional decoration.
Speaking for myself, personally, I have a view called particular pleasant feelings due to the presence on one of the main actors Debbie Rochon (Debbie Rochon), whose participation brought her a handsome reward in the form of a nomination for Best actress independent film 1994. Not to say that it showed the top of the drama, however, clearly conveyed the emotions of the character. In addition, there is a curious eye on her career, to grasp the turning point, when she has not moved in a favorable path for the “scream Queen” of cinema trash.
In the end, the Thriller is far from perfect, unbalanced on artistic license and a clear authenticity, when the first prevails over the second. Good itself is pure adventure aspect, where the viewer has the chance to go on a virtual nature in the cool canadian woods, after resting from the hustle and bustle of the city, along the streets of unpretentious action-Packed story of three tourists-one of the girls, two poachers-hunters and crazy one-the Forester.
