A well acted, well directed...

...invitation to take a nap.I kept hoping for an interesting spin in this poorly written snoozefest of a movie...still waiting.I say it was well acted by the young cast and can see where they made the most of the minimal cardboard dialogue. Directing and cinematography are well done considering that nothing interesting actually happens.Production values are decent for an indy but they should have spent some money on a rewrite of the script or chosen a better one to start with.Minor twists on the Z for Zachariah plot line, but nowhere near as interesting as that young adult book was half a century ago.Don't recommend wasting your time on this one...but again the young cast did well with what they had to work with, so your call.

For me The Tribe was one of those pick and mix movies, therefore I went in with no expectations at all.It tells the story of three sisters who live out in the desert, it's set in a post apocalyptic world that was hit by a pandemic and they are fighting to stay alive.A core rule they have is not to let anyone in should they appear and when they break that rule it changes everything.With a fantastic leading lady, great setting and interesting premise The Tribe had me gripped and is anything but predictible. Trouble is the ending both makes and breaks the movie in that it is merciless, open ended and totally out of left field.I enjoyed the Tribe but certainly wanted to have liked it more, the ending just left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I'm honestly not sure what the creators were going with there.Well cast, interesting but flawed.The Good:Great leading ladyInteresting ideasUnpredictibleThe Bad:Ending is questionableThings I Learnt From This Movie:I spent half the movie trying to work out if that was Melissa BenoistDanika is one of the weirdest looking kids I've ever seen

Missed Opportunity

Three sisters have survived a pandemic that has devastated humanity . Living in their remote outpost their lives change when a young man looking for sanctuary turns up With a synopsis like this I was reminded of the Don Siegel/Clint Eastwood 1971 movie THE BEGUILED . It is something of a Western that could take place in a 19th Century homestead rather than a post apocalypse scenario in the 21st Century . Unfortunately the screenplay constantly misses opportunities or more specifically can't make up its mind what it wants to be . The sexual tension created by the character dynamics is explored but quickly forgotten when the plot takes a swift turn . At this point I was expecting the very real female fear of sexual assault seen earlier in Boyle's 28 DAYS LATER to take centre stage but again this isn't really followed up All this is a pity because it's an independent feature which is impressive from a technical point of few with the main aspect being the striking cinematography . It's a great looking low budget film but goes to prove cinema is visual storytelling and if the story isn't focused it makes for an unsatisfying film
