I honestly don't know if this is the place to put this, if not let me know and will move it or the administrator can move it to proper place.

But, I just got finished watching a movie titled "Quicksand". That is the real title and that is the plot.

A husband and wife on the verge of divorce are in Columbia, South America. Out for a hike the wife falls into quicksand. I'll save the spoilers and just say both end up stuck and have to fend off jungle elements and each other in order to escape.

For what seems a low budget survival movie it's not bad, but not great.

Better ideas for plots in my opinion:

The wife gets separated from husband during hike , or goes on hike alone.....same result but she's armpit deep in quicksand alone and husband has to search for her.
(Possible she escapes 2/3 through and falls into another quicksand pit soon after.)

Or two women out for a hike and one falls in quicksand and the other trys to go for help and fall in her own quicksand pit.

You're quite behind :lol:

We have been discussing this mediocre movie for a year already, there are lots of threads in general discussion and nuggets...

You’re half right.

I never really look at general discussion or nuggets. Never found the need, something i may reconsider.
However this movie only had the trailers released about 7 months ago……
How I missed it in that time Will remain a mystery
The one from a Year ago is a bro- mance parody and not the one I’m referring to, nor my cup-o-tea.

So this begs to ask, can we promise not to talk about this movie ever again? Like ever? I might be able to forgive the QS scene if the movie was halfway decent but…damn. It just SUCKED.

When the Quicksand in that movie sucked more, the film would have sucked less! :D

This seems to be one of those things where people ether love it or hate it, no in between.

I actually personally enjoyed it. The movie did exactly what its intention was. Cheap Melodrama. I haven't seen any other hollywood movie even attempt to do a quicksand scene well (outside of PREY), let alone an entire plot based on it. It could have been better yes. It could have been a lot worse though. We got a beautiful actress pretty much Chest Deep in mud the entire time. And there was even a submergence. I'll take it.
