A Powerful Film Review Of Deadfall Trail


Directed by Roze and starring a spectacular cast of lesser known actors, Deadfall Trail is the psychodrama horror movie that movie buffs have been patiently waiting for. The film was shot in Tempe, Arizona. The lead roles in the movie are played by Cavin Gray Schneider, Shane Dean, and Slade Hall.

Along with directing the film, Roze also co-wrote and produced this movie. The film is eerily similar to the hit movie Deliverance. The amount of violence, profanity, graphic images, and nudity all make this film worthy of its R-rating.

In the beginning of the movie, the three main characters, John, Julian, and Paul start off on a three week survival adventure in the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona. This trip is definitely not about having fun or filled with any luxuries. The requirements are that each boy only brings a hunting knife, one bottle of water to drink, and a single plastic garbage bag. The survival of each individual will solely be determined by their ability to live off of the land and their environment, their strength, their instincts, and their wits.

Soon into the movie, the three boys’ personalities are exposed. John shows promise as the leader of the small group since he has survived trips like this one before. His friend, Julian, has also experienced trips like these, with John and proceeds to act like second in charge. Paul is the newbie on the trip. He has never even considered doing something like this. He is horribly excited but his inexperience worries Julian. John is quite sure that Paul will do just fine on the hike.

During the beginning of the trip, everything seems to go as planned. Paul’s confidence, despite his inexperience, leads to some troubling situations but nothing too serious that the boys cannot handle. Julian grows increasingly angry at Paul but John manages to keep them all from losing their cool.

Paul has only agreed to risk his life on a three week survival hike in the desert for one reason. That reason is a small cactus plant called peyote. When ingested, the effects of the plant resemble psychedelic drug. It also makes a person thirsty. Because they only have three bottles of water, Julian and John urge Paul to wait to take the drug until they can find a better water source. Paul does not heed his friends’ advice.

As with all horror films, things begin to horribly wrong. This flick is no different. The boys take the peyote and all kinds of weird cryptic events begin to occur. The movies moves along at a smooth pace and the characters begin to grown on the viewer, leaving the viewer anxious to see who is going to be the survivor, or if there is going to be any survivors.

Deadfall Trail is a pretty good movie. It may never me the criteria to be considered one of Hollywood’s great horror movie classics. However, it is a well written and intriguing film. The acting is up to par and the characters are well developed. It is a movie that teenage boys and young adult males will definitely enjoy. It is entertaining and perfect for movie night.
