sushihoney Review of Red Canyon

Red Canyon (2008)

If you liked HIGH TENSION you'll love RED CANYON

[10/10 · 8 November 2009]

Red Canyon feels like it's somewhere between a horror film a film noir set in the American west. It shares the same sense of heart pounding suspense and build - up that High Tension had - the same excruciating sense of dread until the final awful confrontation. It will also keep you guessing like no film I've ever seen before. In many ways it's flawed - but I liked those flaws - because they let you fill in your own story line - not everything is fed to you - and days after the movie you still kind of wonder about each detail in the story and if you've read what you've seen correctly. I watched it with a friend of mine - and she was almost started crying at the end. As much as it's a horror film - it gives you that feeling of reality and in a VERY strange way touches some of the deepest fears and taboos in our every culture.
