The Lost Tree

The folks who rated this high had to be friends or relatives of the actors/director. A comedy of bad acting, music score, writing, directing,cinematography,hair & make up, extras, lighting, fx, you name it. One word sums this mess up: cornball

I watched this on Tubi for free. I had zero expectations or knowledge what this film was about. I found it to be an interesting storyline. I expected a very formulaic horror film with cheap scares. Instead I got a feeling of dread the entire time. It has a 70s horror feel to it. The lead actor guy does a decent job keeping you interested and you never quite know where this is going. It had some interesting twists and turns and I got this feeling of dread the entire time while watching. It has some good fx in it and nice wide shots. If they had a bigger budget I can imagine what they would have done.

Very well done and emotional film for an indie film. I had no clue which way this movie was going. The acting was well done and the directing had interesting angles. The film did a good job of keeping you interested which was impressive since a large amount of the film is about a person inside a cabin.

After a tragedy strikes, a young man moves to an isolated cabin to start a new life. The Lost Tree is definitely not a bad film, it's just like the writer/director couldn't decide if he wanted to make a drama or a mystery/horror film.

The plot seems to veer from paranormal to romance with neither going anywhere. A couple of spooky scenes with shadow people. Overall, had the character of Noah been played by a better actor as well as the pace been faster it would have been a better film. Looking for scares or gore? Skip it. If you like Lifetime Originals, you might want to give it a look.
