Vértigo

¿El primer largometraje que se desarrolla en via ferrata? Sí, y empieza muy bien, con una gran cámara. Pero tan pronto como el maníaco asesino entra en escena y la aventura al aire libre quiere convertirse en una obra de asesinatos, toda la frescura desaparece. Los otros dos tercios de la película son solo un aglutinado de escenas de todas las películas de asesinos posibles, ya sean del bosque o de Texas. Incluso si fuera su primera película de este tipo, en cuanto a la tensión, aquí funciona solo la mitad de lo que sentiría viendo a sus predecesores más conocidos. Los actores también están por debajo del promedio. Metraje modesto y desarrollo rápido ayudan, pero salvan todo. (31.10.2010)

The beginning is very good, as has already been said several times. Impressive setting, deep rock ravines, imaginative cinematography and above all the growing anticipation towards the crucial second half. Unfortunately, along with the first victim, the script itself seems to get trapped, unable to break free from the tight grip of cliché and blandness that has apparently doomed the vast majority of modern horror films. The camera is increasingly distracted, with frantic editing and, in a complete darkness that the viewer finds hard to navigate, the real tension leaves with the arrival of the homicidal maniac. It's true that he doesn't fool around and tries to kill as many of our heroes as possible in record time, but this doesn't contribute to the hundreds of other murderous games that are mostly just as stupid and can have only two possible endings: either the killer turns out to be one of the apparently good guys, or the whole thing ends with a spectacular showdown with the villain and a big happy ending. At least here the creators avoided something like that, even though, according to their opinion, a person with a slashed throat is still able to run a marathon:)) It didn't impress, but it didn't disappoint either...

In the Balkans, don’t leave the marked paths, and never go into closed trails! Excellent survival film that in the middle turns into hixploitation and really manages to hold your attention. It didn’t disappoint. (25.12.2009)

I had a moment where I felt like the movie High Lane could be an exceptional film, but it's not exceptional; it's quite average because it failed, especially in its second part, to surprise significantly and show that the beginning wasn't just a very good introduction to killing. The hillbillies here almost feel like a sore thumb to me, and I don't think it works as well as it could if the creators tried a slightly different antagonist. (31.03.2017)
