Screams low budget from the first scene

Fail at quality acting, quality filmography, but never fail at story... That acting in the diner was very cringe. You may end up sitting through a fair chunk waiting for the story to pick up and pay you back for your already spent time. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The camera jerking instead of having a "filmed by an observer" feel to it just draws attention to itself - handheld filming requires a strong story so not to be a detracting choice. Wire in the blood did handheld camerawork, but that wasn't distracting like something has got in your eye, because it had a story you were interested in the solution of- questions you wanted answers for. Also, typically women are the largest audience for true crime and tc based stories. It is thought this has something to do with most likely being the victim of it. So it was an interesting choice to try to incorporate aesthetically sexy stuff, within the same scene we are clearly being showed gendered violence- this scene alone could be done framed by the "photography" angle, if expectation hadnt from the start been shaped by previous nudity- that went on for twice as long as necessary, and could have been "suggested" nudity (this can be more impactful as it works with imagination of an audience). And yay, girl on girl, will we wont we get a fun eye full! - definately boys filming for boys, while forgetting story, tension, purpose, and action is needed for everyone in your potential audience. Although i did like the sheriff. The rest of the acting- complete with fake laughter- was painfully cringey, lol. They are clearly reading lines, not acting. Leaves you thinking: could i do better at home. Also, that hospital scene while the girl has some sort of event, and you're wondering why literally no one reacts whatosever. It is simply "this is so dramatic no one will notice that the other characters are put on pause for a good long minute".Of course i come at this as a watcher and writing fiction not screenplays, however, story and delivery are questions that remain the same.

Disappointing

The murder of one hiker and the attempted murder of the other ought to have lended a seriousness to this project. Yet the Sheriff is dismissive, sarcastic and poorly acted. At the beginning of the film it is announced that this was based on real events. I still would have cut the film differently.

This movie could have been a murder mystery or a search for the killer. Instead we are served a nasty scene of girls getting shot and bleeding.

Films are a series of images. Music is written with notes and rests. The best poetry is implied, never stated directly. "Dead Woman's Hollow" puts a nude female on a railroad track as one end of the film and the dishonestly hunchy sheriff threatening a black man at the other end.

I wish the hikers had not been attacked. I wish I had not watched this unattractive movie.
