With their sights set on a £25,000 reward promoted by a local newspaper, American documentarians Georgia and Matt head to Exmoor in North Devon to film the fabled beast supposedly slinking through the remote terrain. Is the creature a leopard, a panther, a family pet crossbreed, an imaginary predator? Setting up a forest camp with an old acquaintance harbouring his own dark secrets, the trio fix 42 cameras to the trees and rocks, linked back to a computer nerve centre where nothing should go unnoticed as they take turns to night watch. But then they discover some putrefying body parts all neatly tied up… then some more. And before long they realise they are in the lair of a beast right enough, but certainly not one of the four-legged variety. For they have discovered a serial killer’s playground and are soon to become his most wanted prey.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I didn't hate the first five minutes, but it really went down hill fast. Matt is a terrible example of a man, started off as a bit useless and got worse as the movie progressed. I wondered why the female lead character would date him, until I saw more of her personality. A lot of horror movies consist of people making really poor choices, but this was ridiculous. What bothered me most was the same thing that I have a problem with in many of these "chased around the woods" movies, the lead character is completely incompetent for an hour and twenty minutes, then becomes an instant ninja to save themselves. You know what I mean, the girl who screams at every shadow and noise, making the location of the group known to the killer so he can hunt them all down, then when it is her own life left she is silent and deadly....unbelievably so. The time you spent to read this is time better spent than watching this movie.

A dark fog rolls over the moor. With a few quick cuts, the audience is placed in the shoes of a woman running for her life from a monster. The lighting is terrific, and the music ratchets up the tension till you can feel your heart racing in your chest. She screams at the top of her lungs, and then the scene ends.One could expect a beginning like this to be part of a creature feature, but instead "xmoor" is something entirely different. What starts off as a pursuit of a mythical cat turns into a game of cat and mouse from a demented rapist.I would not recommend this movie to anyone who dislikes disturbing content, because once you make it past the very methodically paced beginning, the plot spirals into a dark, sadistic hole.Although there were no blatant scenes of torture or extreme violence before I stopped, there was enough here to make me cringe. Below are the reasons I could not force myself to finish this film.1. The murderer is a serial rapist, and it is referenced that the killer pleases himself with the corpses of his victims.2. One of the main characters is aroused by the site of one of the dead women, and a very strong, sexually perverted reference is made as to his actions regarding the corpse.Overall, I thought the film was technically well produced, but very disturbing. I have hope for these developers, if they could produce something that did not contain such strong, disturbing content.Viewers beware, if you are in the mood for a nice, thrilling roller coaster of a thriller, look elsewhere. This is a slowly rising, tense, disturbing film that I would not recommend for the faint of heart.

Bad dumb Tish! To be honest there were moments I was thinking X moor had some interesting ideas and was going somewhere, however it kind of felt a bit messy in the end and was a bit inconsistent. The lead role was entirely unconvincing and paled in comparison to other actors in minor roles and this proved a bit distracting, although the twisting and turning on the plot could not have helped plus the characters being all a bit on the silly side, then again we'd have no horror movies without characters acting inexplicably stupid. The movie also suffered from many dark scenes at one point which were simply difficult to make out. It did feel everything went on an inexplicable rush near the end and ambitious plot points were not developed fully. It did have its moments however it seems like more time was needed to think over and edit this movie. Has the guy from Agents of Shield in it tho. 3 points for creepy kid, 10000 points for unintentionally hilarious stunt involving a Jeep.

I really enjoyed this film. The story was well realised and the characters, while flawed, were at least so in believable ways. The turning point and resulting revelations came naturally without ever feeling forced or needlessly exaggerated for cinematic effect, yet still offered a number of tense and fearful moments. My friends had some criticisms about the actions of the characters, but in my opinion those were not unreasonable considering the circumstances each were in at the time.While much of the film was shot in night-time forest areas, the cinematography was pleasing and did a good job of saturating the atmosphere with the bleak cold & mist of Exmoor, including some wonderful aerial shots of the location in the early morning
