Dead in its trail

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2004)

If you have seen the trailers,you will expect a suspense movie with some horror in it or at least something that will keep you
on the edge of your seat. I'm sorry to say that for me there's nothing like that to find in this movie. Sure,it's beautifully shot and they create a very nice atmosphere..... indeed its the perfect setting for a love story and that's what it is. Oh if only there would have been something supernatural in this movie, or some creatures in the woods surrounding the village....indeed if only!!!! The only supernatural thing I could find is the fact that the village and the surrounding woods seems to be cut of from the world by a big wall,at least judging by the fact that the blind girl Ivy Walker has to climb her way out of the woods over a wall and back in with a ladder?????????????? And of course she is lend a helping hand by a nice wildlife guard"Kevin"! Who must be thinking that he just walked into a nutcase escaped from Gothika or something like that but helps her anyway. Its not a bad story nor a bad movie but it don't deliver its promise. the storyline keeps on dragging all the way to the end and then suddenly there is the twist and the plot..........what plot again???? Against better judgment, you keep hoping that something will happen to make this movie special,but nothing will!! To bad but this is not a keeper in my books!
