The Clearing (2023)
2/10
Plodding, slow, ridiculous
12 July 2023
This "psychological thriller" is absolutely one of the most ridiculous pieces of garbage ever committed to celluloid (the anachronism isn't lost on me).

The characters are unappealing and none of them has any redeeming qualities. The plotline tries to elicit mystery but only portrays a weird paranoia which only makes the characters and the story more bleak and stark.

It's like a bad V. C. Andrews book but without the charm and comedy, or Jim Jones but not as sane.

The story moves so slowly that it's actually painful to watch. It's a story that didn't need to be told brought to you by people who don't know how to write.

Do yourself a favor and just...no.
