A Latvian horror film. It's not the most productive of countries when it comes to producing films, but a dash of unfamiliar local folklore is always welcome when doing horror. River of Fear isn't anything new, but there are enough unique details to make it stand out from a gazillion similar films. A small marketing team travels to a remote location to shoot a new film. Andrejs, the brother of an actress involved, and rafting instructor on the side, decides to join the crew so he can keep an eye on them. The place they're going to is full of danger, but even Andrejs can't imagine what's in store for them. Unrelenting nature, a bit of pagan folklore, and quirky local folk combine to create a mysterious film. The music and editing are above par, the rest is more basic and expected. Still, it's a short film with plenty of genre appeal, so this was fun filler for anyone hoping to pass the time with a good horror flick.Read all
