Reviews:
“The villains are hillbillies and this movie retreads those old cliché stereotypes which have been done better elsewhere and far more competently. No, where this movie shines for me are in the elements that do not quite work.” SciFi Movie Page
“There are plenty of killings, which, if done right might have made The Boonies a bit more interesting. But they’re shot with no flair and there’s no suspense […] If ninety minutes of things you’ve seen a hundred times before hung on a plot that consists of coincidences and improbabilities is what you’re looking for, The Boonies is your film.” Voices from the Balcony
Release date:
