Run, Hide, Die is just now making the rounds of On-Demand. Watched this little stinker last evening. It is yet another indie-crap film made for little-to-nothing and released on an unsuspecting audience.
Five 35+ year old "college" female students are off to help one friend celebrate (and move past) a bad incident in her life. So, off they go into the wild blue yonder to find (natch) the proverbial cabin-in-the-middle-of-nowhere for a party. The "acting" in this was just awful, as was the sound, picture quality, editing, and directing. The movie, although listed at only 75 minutes, seems to take FOREVER to get going. You have 20-plus minutes of stupid drunken dialogue (most of which you cannot hear). The killer shows up and then you're treated to 10-plus minutes of wailing during which dialogue was written but, again, you're clueless as to what's being said because you can't make any of it out.
There is not one redeeming quality about this poor excuse for a movie. We have all seen movies that were (literally) so-bad-they- are-good, but this is not one of them. This is just plain BAD. Rated "whatever" for language and violence.

Watch. Yawn. Sleep.
Phony reviews are the only thing keeping this above 3.0
Sadly, I've learned that all too often, bad movies are propped up in the ratings by fake reviews and sandbagged rankings. This movie is case-in-point. It is definitely not the worst I've seen, but read the first three reviews...trust me...as someone who takes his reviews seriously (and I write many),these are props. Nothing about this movie is remotely as those reviews state. Everything about it is subpar, and in many facets, VERY subpar. I don't mind a little bad acting, I don't mind stories that have been done to death, and I don't even mind when less professional equipment is used, as long as there is a semblance of cohesion and flow, and a decent enough script to pull it all together. The acting in this was, again, not the worst I've seen, but the rest had almost no redeeming value. Bummer, as I enjoy "cabin in the woods flicks."
Feel free to check my other reviews. I RARELY give 1's, as there is almost always something that can be taken from a film. ALMOST always. Just not in this case.
Watch. Cringe. Forget.
Not sure which is worse: the acting, script, or direction. Save yourself the headache and skip this waste of time completely.
