Featured reviews
I cannot begin to understand how it got such a high rating on IMDb, avoid at all costs.
i had a look at the main actresses background and she seems to have done some decent stuff in her back catalogue, but you would think the rest of the motley crew had been dragged in off the street.
I just cannot believe I spent a good hour and a half watching this turkey, it seemed to get it's ideas from a mish-mash of horror movies but didn't know where to go with them, and ultimately failing in every respect. I would thoroughly recommend you watch anything but this movie, as this low budget horror, (and I use the term horror very loosely) takes the biscuit when it comes to watch-ability.
In the last two weeks we have seen films that had NO business being in theaters because we simply looked at the score. Trust me when I tell you that you can't do this anymore. READ the reviews, and you will easily see which are FAKE.
First of all, any film that you haven't heard of previously with a 9 or 10 star rating from anyone should put you on-guard. (That's not to say that a 9 or 10-star rating alone is a clear indication of funny business). Secondly, if, as many of the 9 and 10 star reviewers here have done, the reviewer starts extolling the virtues of those involved in the film, by name (i.e., director Miles Doleac is fantastic and has brought his great vision to the screen!) it might be a sign the the reviewer is a shill. One person here talks about how the people involved in making this movie used all their money to do so. Well, I don't mean to be a witch, but what does that have to do with it being a good movie? While I feel badly for the creator for having sunk their life's savings into it, why would that make me or anyone else LIE and say it is good, when it is not? Third, the old closing of: "Watch it!", "Enjoy it!", "Get it on Amazon" ... should immediately raise a red flag, "Don't wait, you need to see it now", "Don't listen to others, listen to ME (or variations) are always dead giveaways. (Several 9 and 10-star reviews here have all of these).
Unfortunately, it seems that we live in an age where people seem to have a very low moral code and don't hesitate to lie at the drop of a hat and where anything (including integrity) can be purchased for pennies for the sake of the mighty dollar.
This movie is CRAP. I can't tell you if the ending redeemed it, because I could not get that far, but what I saw of it is enough to base my opinion on. To those that say, well how do you know if you didn't watch the end, you don't need to scoop out the contents of a diaper to know it is full of poop, and yes, I did, unfortunately, sit through enough of it to know. It is just BAD.
Anyway, if you want to take my word for it, you're welcome. If not, and you choose to watch it, don't say you weren't forewarned.
To say this film is bad, is an insult to bad; absolutely everything about this 'production' sucks to the nth degree. The story is a mish-mash of utter nonsense. The acting is actually worse than anything that's come from the Asylum guys, and that's some mean feat. And then there's the camera work - it looks like it was filmed by a blind one armed man on a poor quality JVC camera from the 80's. No concept of framing, and on more than one occasion, foreground scenery completely obscures the actor that's talking.
I think the continuity guy must have been hungover during the night scene in the cabin, as the curtains appeared to be letting in daylight. Foley work is just as bad, with outright strange noises used for everyday things. Like, WTF???
About half way in, I thought this might be so bad that it's good, but that feeling passed. Very quickly. The annoying this is, the premise is really good, but unfortunately the execution is dire.
Please, please for the sake of all that is good and holy, keep away from this. It literally is cinematic diarrhoea.
It's literally unwatchable.
I've seriously seen better work from High School video projects, probably even Middle School.
I only tried to watch this because of the super high review score, especially for the horror genre, that rarely scores over a 4-5 here.
Someone involved in this joke of a movie must have made hundreds of fake accounts to pump up the score. Every real review on this page now agrees with me.
I mean, when I say the script is bad, you have no idea. It doesn't even make sense. Who talks like that? Who says things like that? I mean, it's utterly AWFUL. The reactions to situations that the "actors" make are so ridiculous, they're not even funny. They're so dumb, you can't even laugh at it. It's THAT bad.

Cole: You and Christie. You guys serious?
Justin: Yep. She's the one.
Cole: That's great! You love her, she loves you back.
Justin: Yeah. Sometime, a little too much. It gets to me.
Cole: Do you know how it feels when you're in love with someone and you feel nothing back? Umm? You don't wanna know... Cos every time you gaze into their eyes, a part of you dies. And... I've been dying for three years now.
Cole: There's no such thing as too much love.
