The Boonies

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror movie "The Boonies" by random chance, and seeing the cover I must admit that I was interested in watching the movie. Yeah, the cover had that slasher-vibe to it, so of course I opted to give "The Boonies" a watch.

And as it turned out, then I could just have skipped on this 2021 horror movie from writers Lance Parkin and Matt Schultz. Yep, this movie was a swing and a miss.

The storyline was generic, so very incredibly generic and mundane. Nay, it was actually downright bland and boring. And even for a movie such as this turned out to be, there was nothing overly impressive or particularly enjoyable to be had here.

The characters in the movie were every bit as bland and pointless as the storyline. So, hey, I guess they fitted right in, huh? But in terms of the character gallery providing any entertainment for the viewers, nah, forget about it.

If you enjoy a good horror movie or a proper slasher flick, then do yourself a favor and skip on director Lance Parkin's 2021 movie "The Boonies". It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

I suppose "The Boonies" is what happens when a bunch of horror fanatics take a digital video camera and heads out into the woods to make their own horror movie.

My rating of "The Boonies" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Writer with a artistic blockdown, for some filmmakers they really stress to come out of the startblock due to an inch of nails under their shoes, a cliched horror story with some nutty gore takes of no coherence, and if you let yourself into this, youll befriend an extinct kinda appalachian dialect out there. If you have the opportunity to fast forward viewing, use it, i fell into cramps of laughter when viewing at 4.0, not very professional reviewing but im not, im just a grumpy old man.

I do not understand why the rating of this movie is high. In the movie, the actors exhibited extremely poor and simple acting. The music is extremely bad. The script is silly and simple.

Do not trust these 10 Star reviews, I guarantee you these people are friends or family members of the people who made this film. I'm sorry you made a bad financial investment, but you should've spent some of that money on better actors.

Who is this Matt Schultz putz? Oh my gosh what a bad actor. Bad BAD actor.

This is the type film that you get or you do not. Sadly audiences these days are not authentic fans of the genre and expect something that was never intended. Films like this pay tribute to an era that was the building blocks for not only an entire genre but a movement, feel and style of filmmaking. To see a movie that is put out in 2021 with its influences on its sleeve and is actually entertaining is a breath of fresh air. Again, you need to know what you are watching or at least understand the genre tone. If you do not, you'll bounce on the opposing side of comprehension. Far too many viewers end up falling on the sides that "WE" as genre fans fought against. Check this out and then go back and watch some 70s horror films from the godfathers of the genre...perhaps then you'll understand this love letter to an important decade in our beloved horror genre. Roots are important. Watch with ease.
