If this were an adventure movie or Utah tourism marketing, The Canyonlands would have a solid foundation. As a horror movie, though, nothing works.

Rated: 1.5/5

But the most frustrating thing about this movie is that more than half of it takes place in the dark of night. Why call a motion picture "The Canyonlands," and then barely show them?

While the horror elements are too derivative, the setting is gorgeous. The empty space is capitalized on in a way not normally seen in the genre.

This is Film

A horror project that unfortunately can't quite decipher which identity it wants to adopt.

What To Watch

The Canyonlands is a slasher that attempts to remember Native American massacres at the bloodsoaked hands of white miners; it's just not a very effective one on the basest subgenre merits.

Rated: 1.5/5

Low-budget shocker leaves genre tropes behind for stupefying finale.

I liked it as a B horror flick but tge one thing I can't get over is the fact that she has a satellite phone and when her first attempt to call help fails she says she can't call 911 because it would take hours. Why write the phone into the script in the first place

Great throwback to 80s horror, brought me back to Nightmare on Elm Street days. Awesome scenery, funny characters. Overall solid indie horror.
