Synopsis

Every 40 seconds a person goes missing. In northern Idaho, a group of teenage girls attended a summer camp to help them connect with nature without technology. They were told it would be a summer of change. As the girls' houseboat is suddenly stranded in the middle of the river an odd couple comes to their aid. What was suppose to be an act of kindness turns deadly as the girls find themselves on the run, being pursued through the forest by a brutal and determined killer.

jlthornb51 Director Glen Withrow's redefines horror and pushes the envelope of terror with his film, The Mooring. Building the suspense at a fever pitch, he creates an atmosphere of stark raving fright within minutes with a exciting opening sequence. The production values are first rate and the Idaho locations heighten the feeling of surrealism that permeates the film. An exciting cast of young faces are introduced in this motion picture and are sure to become major stars as a result of its impact. Their performances are outstanding and there isn't a false not in the bunch. The true horror in this film lies outside the realm of blood and gore and the focus is upon the terror of unexplained disappearance. Thomas Wilson Brown's downright breathtaking in the role of Richard, a disturbing turn that should catapult him to the stratosphere of the acting profession.
Joe_Crisan OK, I'll keep it short.The good?+ The teenagers were actually teenagers. Unlike other films where the teenagers are played by twenty- or thirty-somethings, this actually used teenage-looking girls.+ Variety. The girls were believable as a mixed group of teenagers, with none being too pretty or perfect lookingThe bad?+ The plot could have been decent, but turns out pretty thin+ One survivor - really?+ The ending? eh.+ The setting - cliché.
Sci-FiHorrorFan I thought this film started off okay and i thought all of the actors were okay and i liked the idea of all of the girls going away on a camping trip with this older women.the idea of the trip was to get away from home and explore and have fun and the women who is looking after them doesn't want them to have any mobile phones with them which i thought was all rather "convenient". So lets think about this now,a group of girls are going away on a boat trip far away to camp and they aren't aloud to have any mobile phones with them.its rather dumb if you ask me. so of course if something bad happens to them they wont be able to call for help. the film was quite predictable,its one of those films where you know something bad is going to happen and you know when it will happen. The film starts off with a girl and her family out on a camping trip.her parents are putting up a tent and while they are doing this the girl is wandering around away from them and she's listening to music and she has her headphones on which again was all rather "conveniant". I really am getting tired of all these horror movie clichés. so predictably because she has her music blaring in her ears she never hears when a man comes up behind her then he puts his hand over her mouth and drags her away.the girl barely put up a fight which annoyed me,as i thought she could have done more to stop him,and quite conveniently her parents never see or hear a thing because they're too busy with their stupid tent to even realise their daughter had wandered off.she may have been a teenager but they still should have been keeping an eye on her.the man drags the girl all the way through the woods without the girl making so much as a sound which is so Dumb,and of course there is no one else around in the woods either,once again how "conviniant".we see the man drag the girl onto his boat and then the film skips to Ten years later and we are introduced to a group of girls who are all going on a camping trip as i mentioned above,the older women is like their carer so she looks after them and so forth. As i said before i thought the start of the film was okay,it had a few problems but i was able to put up with that and keep watching because i liked the idea of a group of people out on a boat travelling out to their camping ground.Now Granted i didn't know much about the characters but i was willing to let that go too because the movie seemed interesting even if it was a little slow.we started to know a bit more about the characters when they reached their camp site and they camped around a fire but after that,that's when everything goes down hill.A strange looking boat pulls up in the river right near their camp site that night. once again should i say how "conviniant".it just happened to pull up there of all places where the girls are.the couple in the boat were fooling around and making loud noises and stupidly one of the girls yelled out hey keep it down over there!.i'm guessing that was supposed to be a joke but the man on the boat obviously didn't see it that way and he yells at the girl to shut up through his loud speaker and he calls her names and of course that's when i knew the man on the boat was a psycho because who in their right mind would start yelling angrily at a girl just because she was messing around?.(its called A joke). And predictably the guy on the boat does turn out to be a psycho and there is a women on the boat with him and she was acting so weird it was obvious she was just as nutty as he was!. once again can i say predictable. we find out the couple are working together and they are killers and they start to chase the girls and they end up getting killed off one by one. i must say the man does most of the chasing predictably and his partner the weird women she seems to just be going along with the whole thing for craps and giggles.she never does anything other than follow the psycho around.I thought the story would go somewhere but it never did. the man and his weird partner spend the whole film chasing the girls around in the woods.why are they doing that you ask?.No reason its never explained. This film had potential but sadly it fell into a pile of crap! and by the end of the film i didn't care what had happened at all because there was such a lack of story and motivation of the killers. Frankly i thought the ending of the film was Lame and the surviving girl at the end of the film does not even put up a fight which made me not care about her stupid week character.whining and crying seemed to be the only things she was good at and nothing else. And at the end of the film when i found out who the weird women really was that just made me Angry.To sum things up i Didn't like this film i thought it was Boring and forgettable.skip this Film and Take A Nap instead.
ihearthorrorfilm This is your basic "killer chasing girls in the woods" type movie. We've all seen this style of movie before, where you're rooting for the girls to escape the psycho hunter while he picks them off one by one. But the difference about this movie is I felt confused the whole time, especially at the end. I think because it lacked a lot of dialogue, which was wasted on getting to know the teenage girls. We never really understood why the killing couple came after the girls in the first place. With their first kill in the film, it was clear that it was sadistic and that they were doing it for their own pleasure. But then it gets complicated towards the end, with the couple leaving me wondering, "What was that all about?" This movie had potential, but then got confusing when the story would focus on the killer's personality. I still made it all the way through, but honestly, by the end of the film I felt like I didn't really care one way or the other.Please like me on Facebook!
