Red Canyon about, review &interview**

PLOT:

The movie begins with Devon kneeling by his sister Regina's bedside. 
She's beaten and bandaged. She tells him that she sees things - horrible things when she closes her eyes. 
She begs Devon to tell her what happened. Devon tells her the story...and we move into his tale about how they went to the cave (which was obviously a meth lab) to find her boyfriend Harley - how they were attacked - how he hit his head... 
Years later they return back to the desert town to sale their mother's house with three friends: Tom, Samir, and Terra. When they get back to the small town they run into old friends and stir up old rivalries. 
Being back seems to punch holes in Regina's memory. She begins to see flashes of her attacker everywhere. After a pretty damn cool dog attack Regina decides to go back to the cave and face her fears. 
But the cave has been reactivated - it's pot now - instead of meth, but it's still a bad place for Regina to be. 
Going back to the cave leads to an arrest - and more importantly being there makes Regina remember. 
She remembers far more than the "story" Devon told her at the beginning of the film. 
She remembers what they did to her - and that they forced to watch. It becomes clear that the drug dealer isn't going to let a small town sheriff and a bunch of outsiders get in the way of his business. 
As he said, he needed his "product" back - he was a "business man" he had to be a man of his "word." 
And he didn't mind cleaning up whatever "loose ends" Devon and Regina had created by coming home. 


The character of Mac (exceptionally performed by Norman Reedus) is so realistic.
You know(or you can imagine so) someone who could be Mac.
The more background information you get the more you feel ambivalent about this druggie Psycho
He's not such a braindead slayer as Jason or so..

The most frightening thing about this Film is that it could definitely happen in real life.

Another thing i really like is that there's no unrealistic sudden surprise, no hero saving the 'Maid'
its absolutely logical (that is rare-and that makes the difference to call it a good movie)








whish my psychos would b so nice'n'hot as Norman**gg**
