Starring an impressing cast of young budding actors, Deadfall Trail is one of the year's best psychodrama/horror movie that moviegoers have been impatiently waiting for Hollywood to deliver. However, this is an independent movie, not a Hollywood creation. It was directed by Roze, and stars Shane Dean, Slade Hall, and Cavin Gray Schneider in the lead roles.
Along with his title of director, Roze also wore the hat of writer and producer of this film. The film is very much like the blockbuster horror flick, Deliverance. Its profane amount of graphic images, like bug eating and urine drinking, along with the nudity, violence, and profanity all lend to its well deserving R-rating.
The movie starts off with Julian, Paul, and John, the three main characters traveling to Arizona's Kaibab National Forest on a three week camping trip that is solely about survival in the wilderness. This is not your average camping trip. The requirements of this trip are simple. Each boy can only bring a simple plastic trash bag, one camping or hunting knife, and only one bottle of water to drink. The only way to survive for three weeks is to completely depend on their strength, their instincts, their wits, and how they are able to live off of their surroundings.
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.
The main reason Paul even agreed to a three week survival trip in the Arizona desert is the he was promised that they would indulge in peyote, a small cactus like plant that acts as a psychedelic drug. Despite only having a single bottle of water and being dissuaded by his friends, Paul only wants the peyote and does not care about his friends' warnings.
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.
One can argue that Deadfall Trail is not ever going to be considered to be Hollywood classic horror movie. However, no one can say that it is not a good movie. The script is written extremely well and the actors are engaging. The characters are developed throughout the movie and it certainly has an interesting plot. This movie is sure to become a fan favorite among teenagers and young adults.
