Spoilers? Spoilers? Are you serious. This "movie" was "spoiled" the moment the notion came to the "writer" to actually take any more than one second to explore that idea. Do yourself a favor. DO NOT WASTE ONE SECOND of your precious life on this dross. You'd be better off having root canal therapy on the same day you called out of work with the flu. I struggled through 35 minutes, begged for mercy, and sped to Redbox to return that crap! On the other hand, if you can keep your sense of humor about you, you may delight in one of the worst scripts you've ever heard. A profound abomination. Or if you want to refine you ability to appreciate border-line actors, watch this "film" -- you'll see the worst of the worst, and then those folks you thought were bad will be elevated just a tad.
... View MoreI watched Deer Crossing tonight. I am not a movie critic or a film Major. I am just a guy who loves movies.I watch 2 movies a day minimum and Stumbled across Deer crossing. I have spent way more time on way less Movies. The acting was a bit weak but show promise. There are a few in the cast that have potential. The writing was on the weak side. The directing was pretty good. Sound and music was weak. Overall it was watchable and definitely gets them a second chance. I think that this type film just needs a certain type person to appreciate it. I don't want to spoil anything.I hope you enjoy the movie and my review helped.

If I ever attain sainthood, it will be because I watched this film so that others will not have to.In a word, this movie is pathetic. If, for some masochistic reason, you still think you should give it a try, then watch the scene that introduces the movie. If you think you want to see more of the same, or even more depraved, nonsense, then feel free to continue. Also, consider checking yourself into a psychiatric hospital, because you need serious help.This is a C movie that strives, but fails, to be a B movie. The acting is so bad, it's laughable, which is why the film got a 2 instead of a 1. The director, who is not worth naming, must have been vaguely inspired by David Lynch's, Blue Velvet. There are Frank-like moments, actors, dialogues, and scenes that those who know the film will recognize. But this is like comparing Dr. Dre to a neurosurgeon.Though many in this movie could be nominated for worst actor, my vote goes to the girl who plays the psychiatrist. How low is your budget if this is what you have to settle for? I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that this is the director's girlfriend. If that's the case, then there is justice in this world.
