The Girl on the Mountain

SPOILER ALERT!!! I really wanted to like this movie but there are too many things I just can't get past. Let me count the ways: 1. Was the girl born deaf? She would have to sign and read lips. There are so many times when Jack is talking that she's not even looking at him yet she understands what he says. She " hears" a loud noise and asks Jack what it is. Also she counts after she sees lightening and stops when she hears thunder??? 2. She lived in a tiny piece of junk camper with a loser father but she has braces. Braces are EXPENSIVE and I don't see her dead beat dad having that kind of money or even caring. 3. The first man that got injured was in excruciating pain from a limb that went halfway through his leg. In the next scene he's not even limping. 4. Dead? Mute? In the fight scene she says screams "Don't kill him" but after that scene they are signing again. Yes the scenery is beautiful but the story and actors weren't that great!

This has got to be the worst move I've seen. The acting is TERRIBLE and everything about it is just stupid including the plot. Don't waste your time! Good thing I didn't buy this.

I really enjoyed this film. Maybe it's because I'm a filmmaker and I know how much blood, sweat, tears and passion goes into an indie film like this. I liked the chemistry between the actors and I found the girl's performance authentic and natural. The scenery was great and it was a good watch. Would recommend.

The Girl on the Mountain is beautiful ... a beautiful story of hope, beautiful cinematography, and beautiful characters. In a world where hope seems to be lost and life is full of disappointment or devastating circumstances, it can still be found. Darkness can be overcome by light. This movie was not what I expected, it was more than. More than in the sense that the vast majority of the film was told with limited dialogue, yet in that lack of words, it allows the viewer to experience the emotion and depth of the film. At times I could find myself relating to either of the lead characters. This movie can bring healing to those who have lost someone. Who may be contemplating giving up. It is inspiring and gives hope that even when we think we are abandoned and alone someone is there. Even when life is hard and ugly, we can still find beauty.

OK so a man is traipsing around the mountain, living off the land trying to get the courage to kill himself after causing the death of his daughter due to bad parenting. Comes across a younger girl who is escaping her father who killed her mother and his 3 helpers. He wants her back which is strange since she witnessed him killing her mother. You would assume since he did not even consider her worthy of a name and just called her maggot that he would be quick to kill her so there were no witnesses. But no he keeps trying to take her home except when he threatens to toss her off a cliff. Makes no sense. Girl can talk but uses sign all through the movie as supposedly her mother was deaf. Amazing the musician / woodsman also can sign. So we get their conversations with subtitles. Hero gets to kill all 4 rednecks even after he was chocked to death and stabbed once and they ride off in the redneck's pickup which has been left with it's headlights on for at least 24 hours. I want that battery. Also if the father did not bother to give his daughter a name then who paid the orthodontist for her braces? Some nice images of nature.

Execution was awful. Just no common sense to a few details. The girls acting was superb. Jack's character was trying to be a hard mountain man but yet a sensitive artist. It just didn't work.

HE was supposed to be in the wilderness but most of the paths he used were well used and lined with log. The four baddies were not very good actors or the director was happy with mediocre acting. The vehicle used by the Baddies must have the best battery in the world on a car, they went off into the forest leaving the headlights on but it started first time later. The death of the daughter was not very well thought out, a long straight road vehicle with headlights on and she walk 2/3 of the way across before being hit by the car.

Worst acting. Only good thing about this story was scenery. This isn't a Disney nor Christian movie and you're telling me red necks who look like heavy metal rockers don't say one curse word the whole movie? Not even a damn. Lmao. At least with Disney and Christian movies you know what you get. Why would director make it so unrealistic? "You better stop right now mister or I will hurt you" Lol. So cheesy. Dude gets spear stuck in leg and no cursing out of anger? I mean it doesn't have to be like CASINO with too much swearing but that was ridiculous and the acting just horrific. You got the blood and violence but not a sh#t? Very cheesy. Pass up unless you want to see God's beautiful nature.

The Girl in the Mountain is a terrible film. Slow pace, bad acting, made me laugh out loud because of how bad it was. This film tried too hard. 1 star rating. Let's be honest if you're giving this movie a 10 out of 10 you were probably part of the movie production or a friend of the director because there's no way a normal reviewer would give this film a 10 out of 10. More like a 1 out of 10. Update *The director Matt Sconce literally has asked his many Facebook followers to to leave a five star review whether they watched the film or not.
