Birthrite (2008) watch online HD

I just saw this movie. I watched it because it was set in Arkansas near where I grew up. As usual the scenery of Arkansas was beautiful but the typical stereotype of the dumb backwoods family came out. It would be nice to see this attachment to Arkansas cease to exist. Take a real look at Arkansas and anyone will see that it is a beautiful state with intelligent people and not full of backwoods moonshiners. This movie was pretty bad. The actors were dry and bland. No one had any emotion in their acting except Alex Moody. He played a good "Charley, the backwoods retard". The plot was boring and stupid. I can give the movie one good rating....Megan Dowd was a very pretty girl and that made the movie worth watching.

I've seen a LOT o bad movies in my time, but THIS? Quite easily THE worst film I've ever seen. I tend to read the comment given by IMDb and then decide whether or not to d/load, and its very rare i'm disappointed, but what is rfiles on? Not to be missed? The end certainly isn't, just to be sure its finally over. I watched it all out of a fascinated curiosity, i honestly couldn't believe what i was seeing. Whoever made this film were serious, thats the worst part, if it was meant to be tongue in cheek or a bit slap dash on purpose you could give em a bit of license, you can tell though, they thought people would like it. Its honestly like a couple of in-bred day release stoners have made it in a day, its EASILY the worst acting I've ever seen. PLEASE someone else watch this film and leave a comment so i can prove to myself im not going mad.

OK, I have read EVERY word of EVERY posting and EVERY Review I could find on this movie after watching the entire production. --

Honestly this is NOT a waste of time movie. It is NOT however a "Good" movie -- the acting is just not there (believability), I do however agree that the cinematography is very good. Not one of the actors actually made me feel they were comfortable with their rolls and each had to struggle to acquire their feel....

I only WATCH movies online -- and do NOT download them, but I do give my HONEST opinion of a movie -- so the pirating doesn't pertain to me.

Once again -- the movie is NOT a waste of time -- but not "Good". I gave it a 3 because it actually has some merit and they do not have a 3.5.

I lived in Arkansas for a very long time, and do today, graduated from ASU in '78. It is that beautiful of a place, but the people are NOT that STUPID. There are many intelligent individuals in Arkansas. I did however enjoy the part of -- "Charley" as played by Alex Moody. His was probably the ONLY believable character in the film.

The photography is beautiful. Mark Maness captures the beauty and the danger of the Arkansas river-bottoms. Alex Moody gives a brilliant performance as Charlie, a man child raised in poverty with little education. His world revolves around his widowed mother (Linda Bowling) who controls his every thought and action. Linda steals the movie with her caustic performance of a woman who seems to have slipped slightly over the edge of sanity. Into their world comes Elizabeth, played by Megan Dowd. Elizabeth finds herself a captive with only two options: marry Charlie or die. Randal Files wrote a riveting script that is punctuated by an incredible score by Brian Pitman. This is a movie that you don't want to miss.

No siljwood you are not going mad, this truly is an awful film.

This isn't a case of straight to video, more like straight to landfill.

The acting is well below par, although Megan and Brent Dowd at least change the tone of their voices once in a while to put some attempts at acting in, the rest of the cast all speak in the same monotones whether they are trying to be kind or nasty. It's just all so flat and doesn't work. There is no expression whatsoever in any of the acting. The tension doesn't build at all and the violent scenes are not convincing in the least, when momma or Charlie hit out with lumps of wood they may as well be using lumps of sugar for all the effort they put into it, and momma was about as scary as Fred Flintstone. I really wanted this to be an under-rated little gem and give it a good write up, unfortunately the only good thing I can say about it was the scenery was nice. People may have put a lot of hard work into this for little or no pay but I can think of many that would do a better acting job for nothing.

I sincerely wish Mark well with his next venture and hope to be able to give him more positive feedback, he seems a decent enough bloke just wanting honest opinions and sounds like he is willing to listen to honest constructive comments on his work.

This movie is a great example of you don't need nudity or gore for a movie to hold your attention. I would feel comfortable to letting my 14 year old child watch this movie. The cinematography was absolutely beautiful and the story-line was every bit as good. I literally didn't know what was going to happen next in this film

I think this movie has some wonderful acting and the comment earlier about Linda not being a good actress was way off base. Of course this is my opinion. I also The director of this film has a incredible talent and I hope there are more films in the works from him. Keep on keeping on. I love to see fresh new ideas.

This is worth watching if you don't have much to do, or if you enjoy low- budget films. I've read a lot of critical comments from people that most likely feel disappointed in the film. But keeping in mind the budget of this movie, you can't expect super acting. Other than this, I thought there was decent talent involved in this film. Filming was quite good, and yes (like the other reviewer) I've also lived in Arkansas; though it was in the capital and not in rural areas like in this movie. People stereotype Way WAY too much about rural states in America. Loads of talent in many professional areas comes out of rural areas. And yes, rural Arkansas is beautiful, particularly in the northeast and during the fall season! 3.5 - 4 stars ... a below average movie overall, but the critical bashing is without justification if one considers all factors involved.

though not, i fear, as an actress. nice photography, a plausible script and some believable, if stereotypical, characterisation.it's not a ground breaker and it's clearly not big budget, but those who call it "the worst ever" should get out more. they haven't seen enough movies. It's subtly sinister without resorting to the overused shock tactics and crudely managed special effects so often used to shore up truly poor examples of the genre. i'm not sure if it's intentional, but i found my sympathies going towards the so-called villains, which is some achievement. they have a warped morality and a sense of suffering. unlike the obnoxious elizabeth who may or may not get what she deserves.
