BadNews R Rust Creek (2018, now on Disney+) Rust Creek is a thriller that I completely forgot about until I stumbled on it again—but honestly, it’s one of those films I end up loving every single time I watch it. What really works here is that it doesn’t depend on A-list celebrity power to draw you in. Instead, it gives newer faces the spotlight, and they carry the story so well that you stay fully invested the entire time. I wasn’t distracted by “who’s in it,” but instead locked into the story that was being told. The director did a phenomenal job captivating the audience, pulling us along this incredible, nerve-racking journey that this poor girl is forced to endure. I’ve watched this movie multiple times, but I’ll admit—it’s not the most popular or talked-about film out there, so as the years go on, I sometimes forget about it. But when I revisit it, I always ask myself: how can you forget something so great? Because it really is. It’s thrilling, tense, and keeps you right on the edge of your seat the whole time, waiting to see whether or not she’ll escape the men chasing her. To give you an idea, it ranks right up there in my mind with movies like Losing Isaiah, An Eye for an Eye, Jennifer Lopez’s Enough, Jodie Foster’s Flightplan (a movie I know a lot of people dismiss, but I consider incredible), and even Nell. Those are movies that might not be the first you think of when someone asks for a recommendation, but when you remember them, you realize they’re absolutely incredible pieces of storytelling and performance. They might not be as loud as the biggest blockbusters, but they stick with you. That’s exactly where Rust Creek sits for me—an underappreciated gem, but one that’s executed with precision and intensity. It deserves to be remembered alongside those kinds of films. Verdict: Cinematic genius in its own right. A thriller that proves you don’t need big names to deliver an unforgettable story. Very high marks from me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Audience Member If you like to be frustrated by illogical writing this movie is for you. There are some solid performances but even those couldn’t make up for the lazy writing. Your instincts will tell you to shut this movie off after 20 minutes and you should oblige. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Mike E SPOILER ALERT: Good up until the ending. The Sheriff shoots EVERYONE he has a problem with throughout the film, but wrestles with the heroine rather than just shooting her too. It made no sense. That downgraded it from a must watch to......meh. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Michael N Though slow and predictable at times it is also somewhat captivating Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review D E Slow, boring, and improbable. No plot twist. Not a B movie, a low grade grad movie that should have been made. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Gerard M Sometimes you don’t know what to watch and you stumble on a hidden gem and this was it. The casting was genuinely perfect. The storyline development was realistic compared to other similar movies - I didn’t find myself screaming at the TV “run!” Because the character was making poor choices lol.
