The Orchard

source: The Orchard

I could've watched paint dry, snow melt in the spring, or sandpapered my eyes, literally anything else would've made more sense. Did a director suggest "we need an actor who's known, but not high priced? Someone we can get to act like an uneducated dimwitted sheriff?" And someone thought of Thomas Jane? What's even more shocking is that he agreed to do this. It's awful, and I mean that in the most literal terms There's no character building, no plot to follow, nothing at all. Part of the story involves a very in-depth plot that was somehow arranged by strangers in less than a few minutes. And it sets the tone and pace for the entire movie. A tone that just continues to disappoint scene after scene. In fact, I don't think any part of the transitions between them added up to a plot. But, like a toothache, you just poke at it with your tongue, I stayed on until the end. Hoping beyond hope that at least one of the people claiming to be actors and actresses would pull a hail Mary and prove themselves as masters of their craft, but nope. There is a part you'll enjoy though. Most would've left the theatre before this, but the credit? They were a welcome sight.

The Delaney family moves into a farmhouse with an orchard which is the site of a recent murder. The parents leave for an unspecified trip leaving their adult daughter Juliet (Katrina Bowden) in charge of the two younger teenage daughters. The girls are harassed by three creepy thugs before the arrival of a creepy Sheriff. It's a B-horror which could have been good. The family needs to play the start much more innocently. There is far too many foreshadowing. When the turn happens, non of it is surprising. That's its one big shot and the movie missed it. There is also an issue about the monster. It's not the look but that could better. It should somehow connect it with the family so it should eliminate the start. It needs better writing. This script is not good but it could have been.

It's far from good. But i don't regret watching it. Never had a clue as to who the werewolf is/was. There are far worse movies with higher ratings out there.

This film has the begining of an idea that someone has decided with very limited direction and or terrible editing along with what seems like terribly improvised script to make into a below mediocre film for eg "I trusted you !" Said to a character who they've only met once in a gas station while they were stealing a candy bar .awful predictable tripe save yourself the disapointment and go to bed early

What a rubbish piece of shi#t film!!! The actual story makes No Sense & everyone acts ridiculously stupid especially the annoying blonde hoe big sister, i hated her character & the other two sisters did nothing in the film at all!!! A weird family move to a small redneck town where a werewolf is supposed to be hunting around a big orchard behind the house where the weirdo family have moved into. The acting is terrible & the usually Awesome THOMAS JANE is completely wasted as a boring corrupt Sheriff!!! A completely wasted werewolf movie & a waste of a good actor. A terrible, terrible B-movie & one of the worst I've seen in a long time

This movie is way better then only one star. Also way better than the average imdb voter. There are so many worse movies out there. I didn't know what kind of movie this was. So for me the unexpected happened. (+1) And there were three beautifull daughters. (+3) What I wanted to happen, happened. (+1) And what I didn't want to happen, didn't happen. (+1) and that's 6 stars.

This movie is about the right length for what it is and was a decent enough watch. Sure, there could've been a bit more werewolf action but it was enjoyable and not nearly as bad as some other reviews would have you believe.

If I could rate this movie a 0 I totally would. I've never been so disappointed in a movie as much as I was with this one. I wish I could get my money back for horrible movies like these. Some of the worst actors were in this movie, the whole storyline was dreadful. There should've never been a reason to want to film this movie, who would come up with this stuff? I'm so disgusted, this was so awful. Disgusting, disturbing, don't spend your money or your time. This movie shouldn't be out to the public, all its going to do is disappoint you.

But executed horribly, unfortunately. We will watch any horror movie B or less, especially werewolf movies. So this could have been pretty good if the acting and writing were better. We like Thomas Jane but he acted like a weird hick and there really was no reason why he had to make the character like that. Good twist, but they kind of set it up too early so you figure it out. You also don't really like anyone in it.
