squidward123 The Oregonian is a lesser known feature film set in the rural Oregon wilderness. First screened at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2011, respected director Steven Spielberg once called it "genre defining." With a limited budget, budding producer Calvin Reeder uses unique cinematic effects to send chills down any viewer's spine. The Oregonian does away with traditional big budget horror scares and uses techniques such as distorted sound effects and the element of suspense to deliver sharp and genuinely disturbing scares. The star studded cast drives this film's intensity, including a night-maringly scary "Green Monster" character that you are always on the lookout for. With an extremely unpredictable plot and major character development, this film is a refreshing take on the horror genre. This unpredictable plot keeps you on your toes the whole ride, and culminates in an incredible climax that leaves more questions than answers. "What does the omelet represent?" "Can I trust my own Grandma the next time I see her?" "How much gasoline can one man drink?" You may interpret the ending how you like, but there is no denying this is an amazing film that pushes the boundaries of what we know to be true in the horror industry. Strap in for this wild ride and I can assure you it will be well worth your time.

bryanwilson-35929 The main girl in this exquisite movie breaks my number one rule, don't trust a girl that smokes Marlboro red cigarettes. Girls like this tend to be crazy and in this case there is no exception. There is virtually no way to explain these horrid events that may or may not happened, but if I had to associate a word it would have to be genius. Personally I loved attempting to put one and one together to figure out what in Gods name is happening in this movie. I was slightly aroused through the duration due to the surprises at every scene. In my opinion this has got to be one of the most underrated movies of all time and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in being mind blown and down for a good time. The lessons are undeniable in this movie, but the one I felt the most confident about was no matter where we are in life we will all have a green monster that tries to control us, but we cannot ever let the green monster dictate our path through the woods.

Alex-S-Long2 The feature length film The Oregonian, is a film of love and hate and the eventual descent into madness. It is in my opinion that this movie actually represents something, and is not just a 2- hour nightmarish drug trip. It is in my opinion that the plot of the movie is that the main protagonist is in Hades, Hell but she does not realize it yet. Allow me to explain. In the beginning of the movie we see her steal a bottle of what I presume is vodka, off her dead/passed out husband/fiancé/. She then proceeds to drink the rest of it. The next scene we a violently transitioned into has our protagonist waking up after being in a terrible accident where she kills a father and his child. After she feebly cries for help, she sees a woman in red walk out of the woods, staring and smiling at her in the most ominous way possible. This woman is a reference to the demons that terrorize the occupants of Hell. What occurs next is even stranger, the woman in red vanishes and our protagonist continues to walk down the road and encounters an unconscious man in a frog suit with a shotgun. The girl steals the gun and continues walking down the strange road. Later in the film she comes to a small town where she finds a man in a van wearing some aviators. She hitches a ride from him to the next mystery town. The man is a reference to Charon (the ferryman of the River Styx). He then takes her to a mysterious shack where she encounters more strange men and women (demons) who terrorize her more. In later scenes, the strange men and two women are out in the middle of the desert drinking a strange mixture of gasoline and milk, maybe. While in the desert with the strange people, she sees the man in the frog suit, and after a horrific hallucination, she murders him with a lead pipe, thus concreting her presence in Hell. She has now murdered 3 times and has no chance of escaping her fate. She then is found wearing the frog suit and laughing with the strange woman in the car at the scene of her original sin, the murder of the father and boy. She meets her ultimate doom, when a strange light emits a strange noise, and then the movie ends.

cintact reeder's film is dreadful. it tries too hard to be creepy and what's funny about comes off as camp. the lynchian humour comes off as obvious. what i may have liked about it seemed to be reeder's attempt to depart from lynch and leave his own mark, to be imaginative and elliptical, departing f which is sadly only ten percent of the film. the film is so hollow it feels silly. it just goes to show you that no one can do what David lynch does, lacking emotional intensity, the fails to be subversive. what is supposed to be disturbing comes off as contrived. you think you're getting something different when he's playing a hipster making fun of hipsters, but reveals himself as a wannabe director making a b-movie that somehow got way too much attention because everyone leaves it to lynch. what tries to be funny feels more like a gimmick. "oh we're all so much smarter-isn't this cool?" no, it's not. it's annoying. it's not an art film. it's too graphic and dull to be lynch. it's too stupid to be a psychological suspense.
