Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Aug 15
2.5/5
Ford hits his genre beats and doesn’t skimp on the blood. Still, I can’t help but wish the movie had pushed things further. A little more risk could have made a world of difference. Go to Full Review

Whether the entire subgenre has overstayed its welcome or it’s simply a matter of taste, one thing is for certain: River of Blood failed to dive beneath the surface of its premise, leaving this cannibal movie all bark and no bite. Go to Full Review

[T]he only cut-rate part of River of Blood is its story. It's really, really cheap on several levels, though. Go to Full Review

Russell H @RT85733992 2d It started out great. It got kinda lame toward the end. Could have been way more gruesome and the cannibals were not scary looking. See more Joshua M @Flameon May 5 Passable low-budget affair. See more R T @RT35846644 Apr 29 This is the worst movie I’ve watched in my entire life. The fact that the actors would agree to this trash script is insane. But then again, they can’t act. I am beyond annoyed I wasted my Tuesday night on this junk. I have an awful headache because of how hard my brain had to work to understand why the this movie would be released. I wish the characters would’ve just died immediately so the movie would end. I’m not even trying to be mean but honestly I feel betrayed because the trailer catfished me. See more Alivia C @RT27060571 Apr 27 Both me and my dad said it had a good start but around a little over half way through, it just got stupid. We watched it all the way through and it seemed again, half way through they started improvising badly. See more Joe U. @ACSolarski Apr 23 I couldn’t finish this garbage. Just please tell me they were all gruesomely killed by the end. See more Taj V @RT78935420 Oct 5 For all intents and purposes, “River of Blood” should have been a really solid movie in the “Cannibalism” genre…it was filmed beautifully, had very attractive actors, and a tried and true premise. (Naive but adventurous tourists being led into danger by a local guide - who may or may not be “in on it.”) “Where River in Blood” falls short is that none of the characters are particularly likable, so you’re sort of rooting for the Cannibals. Unlike a really fun genre movie such as Eli Roth’s “Green Inferno” this film plays it straight and completely humorless. The whole time I watched it (which seemed a long, dull slog ) I kept thinking this movie could have been so much better! See more Read all reviews
