Body At Brighton Rock

Very Amateurish

It was about what I expected. Good for a background noise when youre bored, but thats about it.

Great streaming

never ordered it at all

Poor story line- trailer was best part of movie

Wendy (Karina Fontes) works for Brighton Rock Park. She is a low-level employee and not a very good one. When it comes to the outdoors, she couldnt find her own butt with two hands and a map and she lost the map when she got lost. She must now face lions, and killers and bears. Oh My!. What she shows is that any idiot can survive in the woods with a flashlight, a one blade pocket knife, matches, the proper footwear, and a good coat. The conflict was bad and I will let it go at that, not wanting to give away the ending I didnt completely grasp. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

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.

What? Are you serious? Is this real? I thought I was hallucinating on some flashback LSD I was slipped back in 1975. Suspension of disbelief doesnt even start to take you there. Schlock? No. Schlock has its moments. This is the most, single most ...stupid movie that has ever been made. I recommend you watch this, so youll never do drugs again, for fear this is what youll end up like. FIRST. A woman rookie radios the Park Service (or whomever runs the mountains) and tells them, she wasnt on her job, shes lost and theres a dead body. Oh, and wait. And, a suspicious man too. Way out in the middle of nowhere. Park Service says to her. This might be a crime scene. Hang tight, well be there tomorrow? TOMORROW? Dead body, lost employee, in the mountains with a suspicious character. No. NO WAY would they involve the law enforcement in something like this. No. Wait, kiddo. Well catch up with you tomorrow. (Coughs, wretches, gags, not even funny if you were doing drugs.)

Actress was great, but the plot (a girl stuck in the woods who doesnt know with who or what), didnt move much beyond other similar films. The concept is very entertaining, and the filming was beautiful, but I was hoping for a few more surprises in this tale.

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.
