I guess same difference. Sometimes when we get lost or take a road that we didn't want to take ... well it leads to opportunities. In this case and with this being a thriller (dare I say horror? Depending on how you define it I reckon),you kind of know that is not exactly what is going to happen.

It is not that the movie makes a secret of where it is heading (no pun intended). And the main actress really draws us into the movie - a really fine performance by her and the other people involved. Not just considering the genre, but that too I guess. There are some twists and turns I did not see coming (again sorry for the puns),but I was not overthinking it while I was watching it, so there is that.

RUST CREEK is a typical small scale thriller in which a young girl finds herself lost in the wooded wilderness and at the mercy of a couple of dodgy redneck characters who want her for their own nefarious purposes. She stumbles across the home of another redneck and ends up joining forces with him, although his motivations remain a mystery. It's simplistic stuff that we've seen play out time and time again, with certain character twists being entirely routine and predictable, but the cinematography's quite pretty and the performances naturalistic. It could have done with a little more suspense, though.

Sawyer (Hermione Corfield) is going for a job interview and her GPS steers her wrong. She ends up in the middle of meth country where two yokels think she saw something and want her dead. Their cousin, who does the cooking in a remote trailer, hides her in plain sight.

This is another girl hunted in the woods film without the thrills of a decent chase and hunt. Sawyer is a long distance runner, which played slightly into the film but was not a major plot point without a flashback. I thought the acting was decent, but it was apparent they were struggling with a bad script. Hermione Corfield had a decent soft Southern accent for a Brit.
