I will keep it short . Why such a low rating for this movie. It is a brilliant thriller and survival movie with good pace. Initial 20 minutes a bit slow but it builds up the atmosphere brilliantly. Acting is really and director is conscious enough to keep it away from Slasher genre even though it is brutal throughout and had potential to turn into a slasher movie.This movie is like going to an water park and enjoying a long bumpy ride with lots of curiosity what lies ahead. More people shall watch especially when people waste millions of dollars all over the globe on a Hollywood craps from big studios.You will not regret seeing it.

As other reviews have gone before, this film does pretty well in its opening scene, a tense yet enjoyable journey up a cliff face only to end in near disaster, setting the tone for the rest of the film....NOT. Some nice establishing shots.In a nutshell I guessed the ending less than an hour in(not that I'm trying to brag), I always felt one step ahead of the plot (NEVER a good sign). The acting was OK, the plot diverged SOOOOOOO far away from what would of made it compelling, interesting, original film, yet it fell into a clichéd boring ending, black and white in terms of the characters.....and just to put things in perspective....'The Descent' (a FAAAAARRR better film than this) cost just as much and did so much more with the idea of outdoor adventure gone wrong, interesting sympathetic/empathetic characters.....just let that sink in. AVOID THIS BAD FILM.

What do you do if you find a girl trapped in a hole in the ground? Human instinct would probably have you take the girl someplace safe and make sure she goes home. Stumbling upon the girl is a kidnapping situation that goes awry. It has beautiful scenery and great acting and generates good suspense.I never found it predictable, lots of turns and fun along the way. I like stories like this where we can't take our eyes off it. UK movies seem to do a good job with that.This movie reminds me of films like Deliverance a bit where there is a scary sniper from far away, he could be anywhere and the best we can do is run our butts off. They keep it scary and interesting though and I feel they pulled it off.

A group of friends on a mountaineering holiday in the Scottish highlands become the target of ruthless criminals after stumbling upon a young Croatian kidnap victim buried alive in a box.For a while, British suspense thriller A Lonely Place To Die looks set to scale new heights in tension, with a gripping plot that offers no shortage of nail-biting suspense and breath-taking action; unfortunately, about halfway through proceedings, writer/director Julian Gilbey makes a mistake that causes the film to come crashing to the floor in a messy heap: he shifts the action from his mountainous locale to the village of Annan Moor.Without the added danger of the hostile environment, events take a much more formulaic action route. The second half of the film sees the kidnappers attempting to retrieve their victim while also shooting it out with the negotiators hired by the girl's father, a powerful war criminal; this takes place during the Beltane Festival, with innocent revellers caught in the crossfire, and to be honest it all gets a bit too silly for its own good.First half of the film: 8/10. Second half of the film: 4/10. Overall rating: 6/10.
