Meeting up with a group of friends, several guys go through a hiking trip in the woods to catch up and enjoy the day together during a training exercise, but when one of the group starts to become unhinged with losing all weekend they find him targeting the group one by one.
This was a fairly fun genre effort that has a lot to like. The first half of this one going through a long series of different introductory pieces to the group as we get to see how their friendship is still quite strong over the year with their banter and joking while traipsing through the woods, preparing to camp, or just going through the motions of their experience together is a great touch. When we see the gang get into their big paintball game that ultimately proves to be the main point of the trip, the fun build-up makes this game quite thrilling just as much as the action ducking and darting between trees as the team is slowly whittled down in the friendly fire while showing the one as being so into it his outburst over everything is such a huge red flag it becomes a fun setup for later. That becomes important as things carry on with the story-telling going on about their military experience which gets even more information out about who they are and what they've gone through. When it turns further south and the one individual snaps and starts to legitimately kill off the group in the woods, this becomes quite fun with the segments being filmed yet it does come off a bit too late with the scenes being the final twenty minutes of the film without much in the way of action until that point. Also, with this section being awkwardly filmed through the camera it's the part where the found footage is the least worthwhile having to drag it around clumsily during these scenes that didn't need it. It's still fun enough to be quite enjoyable and worthwhile overall.
