Cascade

Right from the start the acting is terrible. The scenes are choppy with parts missing to finish what is happening. There's just enough info for you to know what's going on. 1 scene spoiler ******** Everything is overly predictable and unrealistic. Early on they are driving through the forest maybe going 40 because you can't go faster without having car issues that low to the ground. A truck comes from another road where they meet at the Y and they are both in the same direction. The truck hits the back end of the car. In real life would create a bit of forward whiplash and the car to continue driving with the truck in pursuit. However in the movie they show the actors being through around sideways like they are rolling down a hill. The passenger door won't open even though it was never touched and the passenger has a broken shin bone (even if they rolled down the hill and the car was crushed his legs wouldn't be touched (I know I was in a car that did that as the passenger)). Then the girl ties a strip of material on the broken bone sticking out of his leg and he says "that hurts" really ? Now we find out that the driver of the truck is dead and both vehicles are undrivable. Again really since when has anyone driving maybe 50 k and rear ending someone die with a bleeding head and the vehicle has no damage but is now dead. ******** I'm very disappointed that this is a Canadian film. Couldn't even watch past half the movie my teenager even said it was terrible.

So this came up on my Netflix recommended page so I started watching. Within minutes I thought "hang on, I think this was filmed in my area". I paused the video and did a search, and sure enough, I wasn't hallucinating, lol. It was filmed in my area. I recognized a local nature trail/park, the steel plant, and some of the streets in the area. So, the setting is beautiful, and is almost a character in it's own right, and most of the show takes place in the woods. It was beautifully filmed. Yes, there were the normal "stupid and annoying teens" but there were also two smarter kids to make up for it. The lead was great; she carried the scenes; very charismatic and just good overall. I enjoyed this.

A by-the-numbers low-budget Canadian thriller about a bunch of kids who accidentally intersect with a bunch of killers. In the middle of nowhere. You've seen it before. You will invariably see it again. The only thing to make this stand out is Sara Waisglass, who stole all her scenes in Ginny and Georgia, and has a solid career ahead of her. Waisglass has a rubbery face, capable of many different expressions, and she sure knows how to use it. Also charisma. She is the "glue" in this story, she holds the attention, every time a problem develops, the audience immediately looks to her character for a solution. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
