Body At Brighton Rock

Well Ive found it. The horror movie equivalent of a white girl in Uggs clutching a pumpkin spice latte and chanting Live, Laugh, Love over and over again for an hour and a half. To call this excrement is an insult to actual manure. If I could sue the writer, director, producer, entire makeup team, full cast, and every single human being right down to the key grips, I would. I am that salty about losing the portion of my life I just wasted watching this film.

never ordered it at all

Do not waste your time. Terrible film.

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.

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

1 star is generous. Save your $6.99, I mean it, this movie severely SUCKED!!

Body at Brighton Rock (2019) is the first full-length feature film directed (and written) by Roxanne Benjamin, and it demonstrates that she is indeed a horror director to watch. Benjamin has also written and directed the “Don’t Fall” segment of the excellent all-female horror anthology XX (2017) and the “Siren” segment of Southbound (2015). Body at Brighton Rock features park ranger Wendy (Karina Fontes), who is not exactly cut out for the rugged task she undertakes when she agrees to switch shifts with her friend Maya (Emily Althaus) and head out on a trail to tack up warning signs. Untrained, and not taking the perils she’s warning tourists about seriously herself, Wendy finally gets lost after inadvertently leaving her map behind. Looking over the ridge shes on, Wendy sees what seems to be a dead body below her. After confirming the man is indeed dead, Maya radios to the park headquarters and dispatch tells her she has to stay where she is and protect the possible crime scene until they can send a group out to her. Since it’s already late in the afternoon, Wendy has to stay the night with the dead body. Already terrified by the desolate location and the body, Wendy is further unsettled by the appearance of a strange man who says he’s been out there for days, presumably hunting or hiking, but who doesn’t seem to have any equipment or the phone he says he usually carries. Something seems off about this man, but it’s unclear if, as viewers, we’re infected by Wendy’s increasingly unstable point of view. Panicking, Wendy tells the man to get away from her and the body, thus losing contact with a potentially helpful stranger. Now she does have to spend the night alone. I very much recommend Body at Brighton Rock. It’s a slow film that keeps you interested because of Wendy’s hapless character, played expertly by Karina Fontes, because of the dread that inexorably builds, and because of the breathtaking landscape. Benjamin offers shot after shot of Wendy utterly dwarfed by the land, heightening our sense of her terror. The film really pays off in the last fifteen minutes or so, which I absolutely loved. It’s a satisfying ending that the film has earned, as it pulls together lots of strands and clues that the viewer probably didn’t put together in the first viewing. It also delivers two truly shocking scenes and then a slow-dawning realization of something that terrifies in a quite different way. I have a full review of Body at Brighton Rock at my website HorrorHomeroom.com.

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.

This movie had a few slow spots, but overall was pretty good.

Wow! Realistic bear scene! Something you will not forget!
