OBVIOUSLY these 5 people didn't watch American Werewolf in London, you know, STAY OUT OF THE MOORS!! I'm no producer or director but some major goofs make this amateurish at best. 1) you don't die instantly from a gun shot to the gut. Even if you hit your liver, it takes a while to die. 2) in the scene where stevie buys it, you can see the squid pack under his T shirt. 3) then when he gets it again, they don't even bother repositioning it, he literally gets shot in the same spot again. 4) Other reviewers have mentioned "forced peril" where some reasonably intelligent people literally ignore the "warning signs" but we have to realize that people these days will ignore warnings about biking in Afghanistan and then become news stories when they are hacked to death by the Taliban. 5) Another reviewer stated the movie was "girl power rah rah rah" yeah but those same "heros" are the ones who got them into the mess to begin with. 6) BTW: another warning sign this strong and powerful woman ignored? She's looking through binoculars and sees someone wearing goggles, a skull bandana, a military helmet and holding a shot gun. Well, let's just carry on then shall we? 7) One positive: the actor who played Stevie did a great job playing a crazy lunatic......bravo!

Slick and well done. Yes the story is predictable and has a twisted ending. But its got a nice dark humour about it. Great scenery shots of irish bog.

My negative review of this movie was approved, was online for about 6 months, and the mysteriously was removed. What good is a review site if negative reviews can simply be removed? So, I will simply state again: This movie is terrible. Don't waste your time with it.

Unbelievable. This doesn't even qualify as the worst B-movie fodder you'd find in a bargain basket. How this garbage had a 30 thousand Euro budget is highly questionable. Dear budding filmmakers, this is how you don't make a feature. Case in point: lousy story, wooden characters, amateurish dialogue. Where was the script supervisor on this? Maybe they called in sick for the entire shoot. Who knows. Let's not forget the farmers who are suddenly psychotic murderers out of nowhere? Trespass on our land and we'll kill you. Eh, ok. Wish I has such genius ideas. And what was with the deer heads all of a sudden? Oh, so scary.. deer heads. And the opening shot is cringe. Guy in a mask with antlers. Terrifying stuff. Wish I had such an imagination, really. Was this actually directed by someone? Or by some people who haven't got a clue about what they are doing? This is a generic stink bomb, don't waste your time. Doesn't look like it had a general cinema release. No wonder. That 30 thousand should have been put to better use, say a donation to the homeless.

Hillwalkers is mind-bendingly terrible. I won't describe the plot because there is no plot. If you want something inherently bad, watch this absolute mess. It does not even qualify as "so bad its good". This is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever seen. Do yourself a favour, avoid this because you do not deserve to have this much of your life wasted. It's not just bad, it's eye-wateringly awful. There are scenes in this that Tommy Wiseau, who made 'the Room', would have said, ''I'm sorry, that's actually not up to snuff - we're going to have to take that out.' This is not cinema; this is something so staggeringly self-regarding." FYI, 'the Room' is widely considered to be one of the worst films of all time. Hillwalkers makes 'the Room' look like 'Citizen Kane'!. There was clearly no direction given to the actors, as the performances... well, the very bad performances, are in a stratosphere of their own. Hillwalkers is not even worth seeing for a laugh. The director should probably find a new hobby, gardening perhaps? But if the same lack of skill is applied to that endevour, God help us all...

This movie doesn't make any sense. So unrealistic. Horrible acting . The researcher tall women made the movie so stupid .. waist of my time. I am strongly do not recommend this movie . Who in the world goes hiking in the rain in the middle that not where and get lost after a fe minutes walking are you kidding me . Please don't watch it . Just a waist of my money .if the actors would try a bit I bet the movie would have been a bit better but with the combination of acting from part of the actors made the movie so bad . Horrrrible horrible horrible horrible and horrible in my book and sooooo stupid.

Across the haunting desolate trails and woods of Ireland, Hillwalkers works really well as a slasher film, with fun kills and gorgeous photography, and a carefully unravelling plot. Authentic character motives and a slow brewing bit of turmoil. Refreshing as always to see some daylight horror, Tom Cosgrove has crafted a really enjoyable watch, with solid performances and twists. The haunting gods eye shots sprawling across the sky, creating the sense that our characters are truly in the middle of nowhere, while also managing to maintain a sense of beauty for the Irish wilderness. Hillwalkers is explorative, violent and at times is very funny.

I don't mind a female survivor movie when done well, but this, as many others have pointed out was predictable plot with shoddy development. Best part of the movie was the landscape and cinematography. Makes you want to travel there Problem. Where was 'there'? An average American viewer is left trying to guess based on accent or perhaps some random knowledge of colloquialisms. You sort of had to guess Ireland, Scotland or Wales. If it was mentioned in the movie, I missed it. Even still, where in Ireland? Same trope of City people smart. Country folk are angry murderous in-breeders that live in filth and are dumb. I bet you find a lot more houses of squalor in cities than in the country. Character development. Really wasn't any. You quickly find out that the alpha woman has cancer, so she undoubtedly will be the surviving heroine. On one hand you can discount it as "Rah! Rah! Girl power!" since the two male protagonists are weak and submissive. However, as one reviewer pointed out, it was the women's decisions that led to their downfall at every turn. One exception was the character, Lisa. She was the only one with any brains whatsoever. Everyone points to Steevy being the best character. The actor did a fair job with it. It's easy to overlook a lot of the bad acting due to the Irish accents, but the Steevy character, while most interesting was also overacted. With training, that actor could become an international film star though. He certainly had the right look. But the Lisa girl to me was the most underused. She was the guide. The experienced one. The smart, logical one. And the real hero. Her character doesn't come across as PC BS. She simply is the person with knowledge and experience...the guide. I have no problem with her heroics or decisions. Had they focused more on her in some way, it could have turned this film upside right. To be honest, the two old antagonists were convincing actors...though their dialogue enabled probably anyone with a "weathered" look to do so. The pace was too slow. Not a lot of urgency for the situation they were in. Loses the "Thriller" label there. And what was the motivation of the antagonists? Is it a high crime to kill deer in Ireland? I don't know. It's never explained. Poaching isn't really a crime worthy of kidnapping, torturing and murdering outsiders. Was there a marijuana field somewhere that I didn't see? They just hate outsiders trespassing and don't want to pay a fine so they commit unspeakable crimes? I guess it's because they're ignorant country folk? They mention destroying a 5G tower. Really? The telecom company wouldn't figure that out right quick and investigate? "We don't want outsiders near our place, so lets commit petty crimes to draw people to our place." The location was remote enought to be plausible to not have cell service, so why even introduce that? Silly.

This was not a horror movie to me. It wasn't really good. The actors/acting wasn't great. The movie had no suspense or thrills to it. You could really figure out what was about to happen in every scene. There were actually done funny parts in the movie. And I never found out who the girl was at the start of the movie. Could be because I lost interest in the movie and started doing other things. I wouldn't watch it again. It wasn't a total waste to me at least I was able to read and reply to some emails while this movie was on. I read that some have compared this to Wrong Turn. It's not the same.
