This seems to be trying to set itself up as a horror film - gas masked killer, 'teens' in peril, etc - but, in reality, that's not what it's about at all. When you finally realise what's happening, it makes you feel a little grubby and the good performance by Lakin doesn't help with that, because the actress really seems to suffer.
Once you get to the plot twist, though, the whole thing falls apart because there's absolutely no reason for the lead character to have taken his friends there, no reason for them to have been killed and no reason for the build-up.
A film of two personalities - Wolf-Creek-wannabe and incest-movie-of-the-week - neither works.

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

The only reason I watched this film, was because I am friends with one of the cast. Poor guy!!! This is a mess, no wonder its never really been released and even the DVD is virtually impossible to buy anywhere apart from Amazon. (not necessarily a compliment guys)The gore and violence is laughably bad and the incestuous ending is deeply offensive and makes no sense at all.But none of the movie makes any sense. It also looks cheap and is poorly edited. Actors never really know how a movie is going to turn out, but did anyone read the script? The final scene ---yikes. !!!!!!!!

I am a fan of the actor Norman Reedus which is why I bought this film in the first place. However even Norman could not save this film. This film is disturbing to say the least, and the ending is just sick. If you're a fan of Mr. Reedus rent Beat, Boondock Saints, or Beatnicks.

Good, but should have been better!

Red Canyon is a well-intentioned thriller that does present the viewer with an engaging plotline, plus quite a few twists in the allegiance of the main characters. Even though the story is a blend from other films centered about backwoods and dysfunctional family misadventures, there is a definite momentum that is maintained by the numerous plot revelations. Although the ending left something to be desired, the main factors keeping me from seeing this as a truly excellent movie were the cinematography and the editing. Despite competent acting and mostly believable scene staging, too much of the movie had an unintentional amateur filmmaker feel to it. Further, the editing was weak for this type of work, significantly diluting much of the shock value. Not bad overall, and certainly worth a watch if you can find a reasonably-priced copy!
