Body At Brighton Rock

Trailer made this movie look more interesting than it actually was. Very misleading

This limp thriller has a young parks employee, Wendy (Karina Fontes), heading out into the wild to post handbills along a hiking trail. At some point she wanders off the trail and gets lost; of course her cell phone charge dies shortly after she realizes this. In trying to find a spot where her walkie talkie will make a connection she discovers a several days old body. Eeuw. (I’m not being snarky; that’s approximately her reaction.) Now she has to stick around near the corpse until help arrives and deal with another hiker (Casey Adams) – maybe a murderer! – who insists on rummaging through the body’s clothes for identification. Oh, yes, and there’s a bear that – despite much being made of it on the case art – only shows up at practically the end of the film and (SPOILER ALERT) is easily sent packing. From the cheesy, computer generated opening titles (over some of the crappiest music I’ve ever heard) to, well, just about everything else, this film misses the mark and – except for really good photography – looks every bit as low budget as it likely is. It’s essentially supposed to be a study of a young woman finding out she’s stronger and more resourceful than she realizes but Wendy is such a whiner who comes off feeling very entitled that it’s nigh impossible to care about her (particularly as she makes bone-headed decision after bone-headed decision – not that the story could proceed without them). There’s a plot twist at the very end (no, I won’t spoil that) that seems pulled in from another movie. If it is really the point here I’ll just note that Rod Serling used to do this kind of thing more successfully and in one third the time.

Bad acting, writing, pacing. A ludicrous plot twist & unintentionally hilarious display of bad special effects. Waste of time.

This is a worse case scenario in the middle of the wilderness. Lead star definitely makes it harder on herself due to lack of common sense but overall this was a good film. Recommend if you enjoy survival films.

Possibly the worst movie I have watched in two or three years. Nonsensical plot; poor acting & casting. Slow as molasses. I am retired and typically watch two movies a day. So when I pan a movie, take it seriously.

I should of read the reviews. When you watch the trailer, you see the whole movie. Thats it folks, all she wrote. Bad. Just plain bad. Big ol stink bomb.

Everything you should not do in the woods.I kept hoping she would fall off the rock so the movie would end.My friend didn’t make it through the first 10 minutes.

Solid storytelling, acting, setting, and sense of place.

This movie is weird and low budget for sure! I personally did not like it but did have a good little twist at the end.

I cant even give it one star, characters are goofballs, the main girl plays it as a loser... I barely sat thru the first 10 minutes, hoping for something scary, I felt I was watching instead someones amateur home video. Lucky for me, I went back to my prime menu and found a really scary movie, almost the same premise: girl goes into woods alone, gets lost... RUST CREEK is everything Body at Boring Rock wanted to be. Save your 6.99, rent RUST CREEK instead.
