Férias Mortais

First off, the mother role is written clearly by a misogynistic male who has written her to be an annoying nag with about an IQ of 50. Her bumbling idiot role is pretty much the whole reason why bad things continually happen to the family. I won't give anything away other than to say that in the 21st century with all our cellular and social media technology, none of this could happen in reality. Terrible. Bumbling idiot parents and far-fetched Central Casting villains. Very dated even though it's filmed in 2006. Had they made this movie take place in the 1970s or 1980s it would have been far more realistic. The actors are good but they've been given terrible material to work with

I thought it was very entertaining. The acting was allright, except for the fact the role of the sixteen year old 'daughter' was played by a middle aged woman...

Some wrong and stupid decisions and you got yourself a delicious, funny thriller. :)

It is a good one! I liked the way it was shot and how the story was told. It is a good entertainment.

I just saw this film and, like my summary line says, think this portrays some of the most inconceivable human behavior that can be put on film. It's technical aspects aren't bad so I won't give it a 1, but it's too bad the camera and sound crew didn't have the support of a credible script. The writers should be taken out and slapped silly.

The basic premise consists of

1) Stupid Dad takes Stupid Family on a camping trip

2) Stupid Dad meets Creepy Guy and his wife

3) Stupid Family meets the Creepys over and over

4) The Creepys do creepy things and the Stupids ignore it, keep it to themselves or explain it away with non-logic as they are obliged to do

5) The Creepys do their BIG CREEPY THING and, of course, puts the Stupids in mortal peril

6) The Stupids somehow prevail (out of luck, fortunate timing, coincidental meet-ups, etc.) and the Creepys are vanquished... The End

It isn't damning that the plot is predictable (which it is), but that all the explanation given as to why Daddy Stupid does this or that or what drives Mr. Creepy to be creepy is irrelevant. You can't possibly care about all that when you can't begin to believe (much less relate to) the characters. One example, You just ran over someone. What do you do? Forget the cell phone. Call for help? Nah! Why not run around the woods for a while and poke through some old home videos? Oh yeah, don't forget to tell the kids 'Stay here!' before you go running off. Perfect!

Skip this one unless you've missed all the horror movies out since you were a kid, or just like bad formula movies.

As someone else mentioned, it was probably on a tight budget but it was still quite good
