Superterranean

One of the most boring "thrillers" I've ever seen.

An injured climber in Scotland wakes up in a mountain shelter. He tends to his injuries, and in a few minutes another climber shows up, and they talk.

And talk.

And talk.

And that's literally all they do.

About 80 minutes into this 110 minute movie, they finally start talking about some horror or drama element—supposedly some beast is roving outside and wants the climber. Why did it take 80 minutes to get to this? Finally, in the last 20 minutes, they get into some supernatural elements.

I get the sense this was a 15-minute short that the director/writer/star narcissistically thought deserved to be a 2 hour movie. It didn't. Might have been a cool 12-15 minute short, if they'd gotten to the ending.

But, I mean, literally 80 minutes of two guys in a room talking before the conversation even turns towards what the movie is supposed to be about.

The Scottish mountains are beautiful, though.

I created the "Just, Don't" category for this movie.
