| User ReviewRobert HIf a Tree Falls pulls style and ideas from the grindhouse films of yesteryear. Complete with added "film damage" this movie takes a simple road trip gone wrong killer hillbilly story and attempts to make it something more than it needed to be. The film is low budget so the less than stellar acting (though it is better than a lot of stuff that comes out in this price range), generally amateur cinematography, and terrible sound can be slightly forgiven and to a degree, add to the grindhouse feel surrounding the film. But with long drawn out shots of nature or the road, or whatever they decided to pad the film with, cuppled with a very non-standard plot (directing and editing), I found myself more bored than entertained. In fact, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. If A Tree Falls has a lot of good things going on and does a good job of delivering that old grindhouse feel. I just wish they had played it more straight and been less creative/artistic with it (which isn't something I say often). |
