Redwood: Directed by Tom Paton. With Mike Beckingham, Tatjana Nardone, Nicholas Brendon, Muzz Khan. A couple hiking out in the woods, disturb a nest of vampires.

“This is a difficult movie to review because the description along with the opening sequence is essentially one big spoiler for the entire movie…it literally reveals the entire plot. So the actual meat of the movie is basically just a couple going for a long hike in the woods and constantly bickering until they eventually run into the aforementioned vampires. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a simple low budget movie but the natural beauty of the redwood forest makes for a very nice looking movie. The acting of the main cast is adequate but nothing special although early in the film thereu0026#39;s a scene with a park ranger where the acting is particularly cringe inducing. Also the introduction of Nicholas Brendon (of past Buffy fame) was just kind of weird and poorly written. He doesnu0026#39;t play an important role at all, just kind of pops up out of nowhere to say his lines, act a little creepy, then isnu0026#39;t seen again until the end. On top of that his last line of the movie is cheesy and completely unnecessary, it seems it was included to make sure you knew they were vampires. As in he literally pops up to say u0026quot;Not another vampire…u0026quot;. We know man, we saw it. Thanks anyway. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe biggest flaw in the movie, aside from completely spoiling the plot 5 minutes in, is the complete lack of suspense. There are no twists here, what you think is going to happen is exactly what happens and then the movie ends which is ultimately just really unsatisfying. So this movie, while it looked nice, just falls flat and honestly kinda lame. Itu0026#39;s definitely not scary by any means. Give it a watch if you want to see a well shot but ultimately pointless movie, just donu0026#39;t expect much from it.”
