I will not describe the storyline, but lots of poor reviews on here; not unjustifiably so, though not sure what viewers expected. I am surprised they were surprised. As it was 'free' I selected on Amazon Prime with no expectations. The acting could have been better, the script more convincing. I still watched and quite enjoyed it, though no T&A for those that way inclined. The location was sufficiently stark and menacing and cabin one we would all like to have.
It is what it is:
It was the best of films, it was the worst of films, it was a film of wisdom, it was a film of foolishness, it was the film of belief, it was the film of incredulity, it was a film of light, it was a film of darkness, it was a film of hope, it was a film of despair.
In other words the film was average for a teenagers-in-the-woods horror. Just be thankful no one suggested splitting up or went out into the darkness to investigate a sound in the woods.
Two points:
1. When shooting the 'bad guy' I found it astounding that Heather, the self-proclaimed crack shot, always hesitated sufficiently in-a-badly-acted-way to allow the 'villain' to kill one of her friends before she pulled the trigger. In her first shot attempting to save Kaylee Williams she had the rifle pointing to the side of the 'villain', even though she was about 5 feet away. I found this doubly annoying as Kaylee Williams was my fave character due to fancying her.
2. Really? Whose bra would remain on during a night of first-time intimacy in bed? Perhaps the most unrealistic element of the film.
