Black Rock

This unusual, mumblecore-derived thriller whittles a boilerplate genre scenario into a bleak vision of male-female relations.

...while this is very much a film about sisterhood, it's also, like The Loneliest Planet, about the isolationism of survival...

...short and simple with an empowering message that in a lot of ways finds the reality in a life-and-death situation.

Simplicity and efficiency remains the strongest point of Black Rock, providing a previously mentioned hide-and-seek type chase ala a hint of Deliverance.

...a credible indie thriller with characters worth caring about.
