I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

View MoreTo the two reviewers who wrote positive reviews about this film: You're kidding, right? This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. I was bored on the ride to the woods. These two actresses were so unconvincing as friends, that I found myself wondering why Charisma (surely this name deserved at least an explanation) and Allison (neurotic, unattractive, annoying, and a really bad actress inspired a new word: "bactress") would even be friends, much less travel into the woods together for what? a vacation? We are never told. No character development, no back story, no story whatsoever, and a predictable plot that has been done to DEATH: what was this director thinking? Low budget was not the problem here. The setting was the most interesting part of the movie. I can't remember when I've seen worst acting. I actually laughed out loud at "Allison's" attempts to act, and that actress had way too much screen time. I was hoping Jack would kill her to relieve my suffering. She was too annoying to be psychotic, and considering that Jack had been hit by a pick up truck, shot, stabbed, smacked around, and deprived of food and water for an entire day...I laughed some more at the ending because it's supposed to be what...eerie? shocking? ironic? surprising? NO, it was NONE OF THOSE because it was HORRIFYINGLY DEVOID of explanation, so much so that it was just confusing and further evidence of bad writing. There was so much opportunity to make a good thriller here, and it appears to be made by someone who didn't even care, someone with A.D.D., or someone who has never done this before. And car alarms don't run down batteries because they shut off after 10 minutes or so, OR, an owner can turn the alarm off with a remote switch from 15 ft. away. Come ON. And "Charisma" is not getting off the hook either. "Wanna take a shortcut? It's not as intimidating as it looks." One second later, she's fallen, and is hanging on by her fingernails begging her "friend" Allison to help her. Did the director look through the lens at that scene and say, "Cut. God job ladies. SO suspenseful. So...scary." I would have smacked Allison around and asked her, "What took you so long, b*tch?" And what kind of numb skull would you have to be to climb all the way to the top of a hill after an arduous hike through the woods only to burn up what's left of the cell phone battery listening to somebody's mother explaining how psychotic and dangerous her daughter is. Wouldn't it make more sense to say:"HEY, call 911 and send them to XYZ location NOW." So I'd say the writing was bad, the acting was very bad, and the directing was very, very bad. I'm so appalled that somebody would waste $5 making this film, that I can't write enough to tell anyone who's wondering: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS DRIVEL. You'll just be mad at yourself later. And to those of you who made this movie: don't give up those day jobs just yet because I watched every minute of your film, and I still don't know if Jack had anything to do with the disappearances of one, much less all, those girls on posters. That's too many women posted in a public place to escape notoriety...so, why would 2 young women see that, know that, and then go deep into the woods in that very same area where one of them lost a sister years earlier? Dumb.
View MoreI opened my account at IMDb just to be able to post that this movie is the worst "shirt" ever made. Most of you must be aware Im using the word "shirt" to avoid censorship. Just remove the extra "r" PLEASE Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE...unless you want to torture yourself and spend part of you life when you could have been doing something else, like sleep or take a bath or have a picture of you own ass and watch it instead of this movie... anything else is more productive that watching this piece of "shirt". The worst thing is that i rented the movie and forgot to return it on date, and now have to pay Blockbuster a fine... Now I realized i have to write at least ten lines for the review, so I must say that Every single copy of this movie should be collected and burned for the sake of humanity. The director should have keep doing electrical works instead of trying to make movies. I must have a big sin to pay, thats why I choose this movie. Now Im paying all my debts with God. Please forgive all my bad actions, but don't ever let me watch this kind of movie again. Many years ago I watched "The Mosquito Coast" I thought it was a bad movie... how wrong I was,,, didn't knew that human minds can produce things like Green River..human can always get worse.thanks
View MoreI don't normally watch thrillers and this was incredible! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it would all end up. The two lead actresses were intense and captivating. Some scenes were totally riveting. The camera work was also excellent. The actress playing Allison (Kristina Hughes) did an amazing job playing an emotionally unstable person. I especially loved her powerful scenes alone in the cabin with Jack. The actress playing Charisma (Danielle Franke) was also spectacular. I loved her scene in the woods when she was hearing the voices of a little girl. Her terror was infectious. If you like thrillers, this is a great one!
View MoreI saw Green River over the weekend. One of my nieces had ordered it and it came in the mail.I'll admit I actually watched it twice over the weekend and I saw more the second time seeing it than I did the first especially the lurker Walker. Before returning it, I wanted to look up the actresses and the film online to see what else they have been in. Director Taybi I thank you for this compelling film.There are some great moves and shadows that Green River showed that did make it interesting, to some it might seem weird. I liked the location and seeing these two deep in the woods with that red car. I might have liked to learn more about the friends and the sister Grace story. I got some of that on the mountain. I did like Green River, I was entertained and heck I'm no spring chicken I was shocked at what Allison did. I don't want to spoil it but the other men here at my house believed Allison was out of her mind in more ways than we've seen on screen in a long time and usually with mean men so this was a twist from a girl in a convertible. I have seen people like her unravel, but not to that powerful intensity.The other actors, The local Green River people were natural. I believed that I would see them on that winding road if I had the guts to travel to Green River. Allison's friend was Charisma very sweet, I felt bad she had no parents, no sister and had to bring Allison with her. I thought Allison was going to get her in the woods too. There's a lot of violence you don't see in the end but you feel and I know my wife was cringing at that and the noises in the cabin. But We had a good laugh at that the next day and talked about the ending after I saw it the second time. If you don't pay attention here you might miss a lot like the shoveling. (Don't want to write too much more I was told people go here before renting) so just have fun, pay attention to the subtle things and be careful in Green River.
