It's predictable, it's unoriginal, but damn if it didn't hook me in. Actually one of the better movies I've watched where you don't have to invest or care too much. The main actress and the guy playing Lowell just blew me away - great acting can save a mediocre plot. Worth a watch for sure!

I started this movie with little expectation, and found a hidden acorn. I really liked it, it was not just "wrong turn" movie the story had some substance. Acting was good and the story moved along with some twists and turns. Worth watching.

I'm glad I gave this a try. After the first few minutes of yelling at the screen for her to do this not that (!) the story settled in and held my attention. All the actors were believable and I was hoping the formula was going where I thought it was because, you know, revenge is sweet! I recommend this one as a good Saturday afternoon kick back and watch an entertaining tale.

Read the mixed reviews on this but decided to give it a go, yes it's been done a million times over but have to admit, quite liked this one.I never give too much away, if i review anything but please give this one a go, i think you may be pleasantly surprised.

I just wanted some boring low rate movie to run in the backround while I work, and I thought that this was it. It started like typical movie of this genre. Littlebit foolish and basic level acting, running and limping in the woods while baddies chases the pretty young white girl etc. But then I was happily surprised when the movie introduced the chaotic good character. It was a turnpoint. There was actually nice chemistry between the two lead actors. Jay Paulson and Hermione Corfield seem to really click and it made the whole film. So even tho this movie ruined my good working rhythm it was quite nice watch. This proved once and again why it is so important that the characters feels real to the audience. Of course script was still somewhat predictable, acting was nice but not suberb, but the spark between the lead actors really rased the level of this movie.

I quite like films like 'Rust Creek'. Films with no major stars, no special effects and just a (reasonably) grounded story to keep you hooked to the screen. They don't always work, but quite often they're the hidden little gems that no one is talking about. 'Rust Creek' isn't a masterpiece by any means but it is above average for what it is trying to be.

The cast in this movie really impressed me. As I said I didn't recognise a single member of it, and yet there wasn't a weak performance in sight. The villains in particular impressed me. Some truly menacing performances that gave you that uneasy feeling that any good bad-guy performance should.

The film had more of a heart than I expected it too as well. A large part of the film is about the development of a relationship and I thought it was excellently done. The arc they used felt natural and believable. The only flaws I could see with the film were that they could perhaps have shaved 10-15 minutes off the runtime with some tighter editing (however in a way I'm glad they didn't because that gave way for the arc I just mentioned to feel as natural as it did). Also the beginning of the movie was a little abrupt for my liking (again not really helping my case for a shorter runtime). This could have been padded a little more and set a more solid base for the film. At the end of it all though I had a pretty good time with 'Rust Creek' and would recommend people give it a look.

This wasn't too bad a movie as a female student is headed for a job interview, takes a wrong turn in the Kentucky wilderness, encounters some Deliverance type rednecks, snd winds up in a fight for her life and embroiled in a conspiracy with s little help from s local. I liked all the characters and the scenery and the story. Everything was a nice surprise.

** 1/2 out of ****

I stumbled upon this movie but was worried about any graphic rape scenes that are included in so many of these type. I think it was very well done. There was action, drama, lots of twists and the acting was good. I really enjoyed just a great drama and thriller without the extra gore many other titles bring. It is definitely worth renting.

Rust Creek had some clever twists that caught me by surprise. The scenery highlights the beauty in Kentucky's forests and it is great to hear that there is both a female director and writer.

Lower rating due to an oft repeated tale of a female alone on a back country road and on the horizon, and obviously coming soon, are some back country male nasty illiterate baddies to make her day a bit hellish. The wrong turns portion of the script was a bit weak, i.e. a wrong turn. The usual southeastern U.S.home brew drug (meth) labs, and who else might be complicit? Will she make it out in one piece? And, how many dumb mistakes (unfortunately usually females) to prolong the agony. Kudos for the acting; as baddies performed to expectations, and our lead female (who's a Brit by the way) nailed down her spirited southern college damsel-in-distress character.

This movie is interesting, but in real life if you want to do a road trip across states by yourself as a woman, you need a gun to protect yourself. Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and that will be the end of the story.😁😁😁😁

Have any of you ever seen a real thriller? Did y'all get paid for these reviews? I am at a loss for words. Cliche after cliche. Is anyone actually as dumb as Sawyer? Do not waste your time. It would make for a good drinking game, take a shot anytime she does something stupid. You'll be drunk in no time.

The film is a story which has been told many times before.

Predictable throughout Rust Creek (2018) is a film which added nothing in the way of excitement, nor 'scare'. It could have been much shorter had Sawyer, played by Hermione Corfield driven back the way she had entered 'hillbilly' country and ask for directions in nearby town or garage.

Or, had Sawyer doubled back after running away from her car, got back in and driven off.

None of this predictably happens though and once again the viewer watches how a female lead runs through the wood pursued by the 'bad guys'.

Hermione Corfield's acting is plain at best displaying a lack of any real emotion, let alone fear of her circumstance - surprising as she trained in method acting.

As is the standard for average films like this, the 'a policeman is killed' scene appears - something I have made reference to in previous IMDB film reviews.

On a positive note, the actual filming with the cameras is very good, and this stretches to the scene locations too, but it's not enough to save it from my 3/10 review.

I thought this movie started a little slow but there were moments where my heart was genuinely pumping, which honestly doesn't happen to me a lot. Some elements were a little predictable but ultimately it delivered on being a thrilling thriller.

Rust Creek was a thriller that managed to transcend the genre. The plot had sufficient intriguing twists and turns. More importantly, the main characters were well-acted, and they quietly engendered a strong sympathy. The screenplay was intelligent and well-crafted. The ending was unusually well-done, particularly for this kind of movie..

Having said that this isnt really that bad but its not really that good either.

I was hoping for a gruesome Wrong Turn clone but sadly not!

Some good acting, I have always liked John Marshall Jones and he puts in the best performance as always but the story has been done to death a hundred times before and there is no suspense or real drama.

Its pretty standard TV movie fair you would find on a wet Sunday afternoon on Paramount channel.

Was not sure what to expect but this film is actually very solid & entertaining.

I hope it does very well financially as it covers a lot of crime based drama with a small budget.

Minimal setup easy to follow story & character motivations. Well worth your time & money as its such a well crafted movie.

Barren bleak Kentucky wilderness also adds a lot of extra atmosphere to the story.
