I'll preface this by saying I know these are amateur actors so I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt...
But I can't. This is a movie only in the sense that it's a series of shots that more or less follow each other, with what might be called dialogue. But the acting was some of the worst I've ever seen from the 2 leads, I wanted them to die immediately because they were so annoying. They constantly do things that no one in their situation would do if they were actually trying to survive. This is tbf something that alot of horror movies get wrong, but this movie gets everything else wrong too so don't excuse it.
What things you may ask??? Well there's the plot, I'd like to say the motivations make no sense, but we barely even know what they are. Character development does not exist in this movie. I have seen better in some video games like Resident Evil.
There is the mediocre camera work, it's like the director wanted to prove a point by having several similar shots in a sequence, but they appear choppy and repetitive and kind of irritated me. I kept waiting for it to get to the point and then there was no point. And like I said the characters constantly do things that make no sense, but they are supposed to be rational adults trying to survive in the wilderness??? Come on
It's disappointing because they did have an opportunity to make a cool movie that twisted the traditional "helpless girl lost in the woods running from killer" subgenre into something different where the roles are reversed. But then that attempt was probably discarded by what I assume was a new writer, except they tried to integrate it into what was already done and failed miserably. Well its one theory anyway. A different theory is this is the worst screenwriter in history.
Either way, I was mad at the people that made this, mad at Netflix for hosting it, and mad at myself for watching it. Wish I could erase this from my memory.
