What do you get when you add one stupid plot, a huge serving of terrible acting, a bit of sex, drugs, and violence, and a heaping dose of cultural insensitivity?
You get a terrible 2012 movie called 'The Rites of Passage'.
The story may seem like it's trying to be a scary movie, but there isn't really anything scary about it. You don't feel enough for the characters to really care about what happens to them.
You'd think a story about a bunch of horny kids and a couple of psychos out to kill them would make for a very entertaining slasher movie, but no. The execution was terrible. In fact, saying it was unimaginative and predictable is an understatement.
The acting in this movie range from decent to something awful, with the decent part coming from the veteran actors.
This movie makes women look bad and it glorifies sex and drug use at the expense of a certain Native American tribe. You can see it was a cheap attempt to lure people in, simple-minded people to be exact.
This really is painful to watch. The only reasons I could think of to watch this movie is:
1. To rip on it and 2. To learn how NOT to make a movie.
Aside from that: Turn around and walk away.
