Treehouse (2014)
2/10
Incomplete Movie
12 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This shouldn't be considered an ending spoiler simply because THERE IS NO ENDING TO SPEAK OF.

'Treehouse' only tells 2/3rds of a story, and when the movie reaches what should be the beginning of a concluding 3rd Act, the filmmakers simply do not provide one.

After suggesting a final confrontation with an anonymous, flabby, mute teenager with no personality to speak of--a conflict which could be resolved in less than ten minutes of screen time after the protagonists spontaneously arm themselves with assault rifles--the movie just STOPS. No confrontation, no climax, no resolution or denouement, NOTHING.

What's suggested is that the filmmakers were either too lazy to finish their story (then why begin one in the first place?) or completely delusional in believing the remaining possible 10 minutes of the story could be stretched into ANOTHER 96-minute feature (as if they've gotten anyone to care after the FIRST 96 minutes).

If there's anyone reading this who is actually emotionally invested in a potential sequel, just to see an anonymous, flabby, mute teenager with no personality who isn't even introduced until well over an hour into 'Treehouse' get his comeuppance, please understand that your sons and daughters are making terrible movies.

Neutral, casual viewers out there just don't give a damn.

There's much more wrong with 'Treehouse' than just this, but when there's already a problem as bad as THIS "ending"... Why even bother going into more detail? Just stay away from 'Treehouse'. You'll find a better outcome watching grass grow or watching anything else.
