Vinesa Morningstar

Spoiler Alert. No real backstory or character development. You’re just thrown into the desert with a character who is banished to the desert with two established societies for what she did we do not know. One being a group of muscle bound body builder cannibals & the other a weird society of Comfort being ravers/partier that take drugs at night and eat noodles and rabbits by day. In the first part of the movie...This character feels the need to find a random broken down car in the open desert which to use the rear view mirror to put makeup on herself, which I was baffled by because who the eff is she getting dolled up for? And a couple of cannibals roll up on her, capture her, take her back to their little trailer town and lop off two of her limbs for dinner. She eventually escapes into the dessert with two limbs left and somehow isnt followed by the cannilbals, but is instead found by Jim Carrey’s character who is not a part of either society and who wanders the desert digging thru trash and eating crows. He dumps her off at the gates of Comfort where she is taken in and the story resumes 6 months later or something like that after she has healed and has a prosthetic leg. She then decides to wander out in the desert a few times, once on hallucinogens after one of the raves for what seems to be revenge on the cannibals but with no real plan. She shoots and kills an adult cannibal digging thru the garabge for supplies at one point with a kid and takes the kid back to Comfort which causes the leader of the cannibals (Mamoa) to go looking for the kid because it’s his kid. On the hallucinogens trip into the desert she runs into Mamoa’s character who basically tells her to find the kid or he’s going to kill her sort of thing. They eventually get the kid after she is in the care of the weird leader of Comfort (Reeves) and his entourage of gun toting pregnant women, but not without a fight and then they just wander out into the desert with the kid and eat the bunny the kid has been caring for the entire movie...the end. We never get to find out why anyone is out there other than a vaugue mentioning of Mamoa’s character’s claim being an illegal immigrant, but as far as everyone else who knows other than that they were undesirable members of society. Could have been a good movie, but was very vague, with no real plot or character backstory or development. Don’t waste your time. And for those calling this a cult classic, there’s gotta be some substance and story for a movie to go cult classic and this has none of the elements of a cult classic other than some big name actors with some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen them do and I like those actors.

Spoiler alerts...Made absolutely no sense for someone just coming upon this story. Was lacking on all fronts. I was excited about seeing this movie and then absolutely dissatisfied at the film as a whole. No real plot other than a deranged woman who kills her son then blames it on wolves and baits a wolf hunter to come kill the wolves, which he never does. All while her husband is in another country at war. At one point the wolf hunter comes back to the woman’s house after an unsuccessful wolf hunt to find her gone and discovers the child’s murdered body when he realizes what really happened. The husband comes home and finds out what happens and goes on a murder spree killing people he doesn’t need to kill in order to what we think is to find his wife and kill her for what she did, but all that happens when he catches up with her is that they shag in a cave, leave the wolf hunter for dead and then wander into the woods with their dead son’s body. The end. What a waste of 2 hours. Don’t wast your time. Could have been so much better if they would have done more with the supernatural lore in this because there was an element to that, but it was brief and so vague that there was really no real explanation to that side of the story. Again don’t bother watching this film. It sucked.
