    Creepy Dude?

    I guess when you are setting out to make a "dead camper" type horror movie you should really pay attention to the impact the killer or stalker will have on the overall affect. We find out in the first few minutes that this mute dude seems like he got lost in the woods coming home from a rock concert and is to shy to ask for help finding his buddies. Any horror movie creep or killer that you feel like you could just walk up to them at any time and say hey $#@ head take a hike, is not very intimidating. I think had they cast a better stalker this movie would have received much higher grades.

    Decent

    This definitely isn't the best film out there, but it wasn't terrible. It had some good tension and I got a good creepy vibe from the antagonist throughout the movie. There is really no explanation for him, but I didn't mind that. Who knows what kind of creepy people lurk in the woods in the middle of nowhere after all?

    The acting is decent though the characters make some painfully questionable decisions. This is probably the most irritating part of the movie. I liked that it has a short running time so they don't keep drawing out the situation. This helps the movie.

    It's not winning any awards, but it's definitely not the worst movie out there.

    There are 4 actors and 3 speaking parts

    The plot is 2 women and one of their sons goes to the woods. They are stalked by a guy for no known reason no explanation and virtually no interaction. Things go bad and then there's an ending. And that's it.

    Desolation: Bland but passable

    Going into Desolation I had no idea what to expect, it was a nameless pick & mix movie for me.

    It tells the story of a pair of friends and a teenage boy who go hiking in the woods only to be stalked by a mysterious figure in black.

    It's very paint by number stuff but is done well enough to be entertaining.

    Our delightful stalker has no gimmick, he has no motivation and I really didn't like that. This Rob Zombie looking git had no character at all which hurt the film.

    Ultimately it delivers provided you aren't seeking originality or surprises. Its copy and paste the movie with every cliche in the book, but is just good enough to get past that.

    The Good:

    Well made

    Fairly tense

    Decent finale

    The Bad:

    Nothing original

    Dull antagonist

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    Maybe the killers motive was that kid being really annoying

    Just don't.

    Look, I love a good scary movie. I'll be the first to admit that I even like bad scary movies. So I figured, what the hell, I'll watch this on Netflix. It's bad but not in a good way. The "bad guy" just lingers in the distance, does not have one single line of dialogue, and has no apparent motivations for doing any of what he does through the movie. The relationship between the mother and son is good, but that's the only positive thing I have to say about this. I was bored and actively wishing the movie would end. Also, Mr. Bad Guy, who wears sunglasses in the forest at night? What's your deal? You were so boring but also so intriguing. What even is this movie? Skip it.

    Storyline

    • Goofs
      When Abby suggests going 'off-trail', she says there is a camp ground no more than 'a few miles' away. After a full day walking, she tells Sam the camp ground is maybe another day's hike. Two fit people should easily cover twenty miles in a day. That would make her 'few miles' somewhere over forty.
