    As interesting as watching wood rot

    The actors in this are god awful. Have they even acted before? From the opening scene it's like instant boredom from two actors with no personality or charisma talking to each other in slow motion. It just keeps getting worse with more and more boring dialog exchanged that id rather watch paint dry rather than watch their horrible performance with not one shred of realism to their conversations. It sounds scripted, and badly scripted at that.

    It's amazing the film quality and editing seems proffesional. But it's not enough to redeem anything about this monotone snorefest rip-off of the Blair Witch Project, but set somewhere just outside the Hollywood hills.

    No good kill scenes either, nothing for gore fans, no creepy bits, no scary parts, and not one thing worthy of qouting. This movie offers absolutely nothing to anyone into this kind of genre and I wouldn't even recommend watching it for free even just once. Its flow is slow, the few characters have no charisma, the diolog is not natural, and its just a god awful movie.

    I don't know what the **** that was

    What started out as a rather strong movie just slowly dwindled and then failed. The acting was subpar at times, especially by Felissa, but I found Elissa's acting good throughout most of the movie. The genuine chemistry between the two main characters is the only reason this is getting above a two. It felt like they were actually friends.

    i don't even know where to begin...

    This seems like a horrible class project. the "students" are clearly in their 30s-40s... and are the best worst actors in this "film". the secondary female character and the movie producers couldn't possibly be actual actors... they must be relatives of the director or something, maybe they won a contest or something idk but if they are actors i'm a deer. the writing is god awful, the photography and music occasionally make sense so that's the 2 stars. the basic plot is just preposterous, the characters spend the whole movie making the absolute worst and least likely decisions any real people would make. i'm seriously curious how many people actually read this script and said "yup this will be an amazing movie". hellen keller would have passed on this. honestly just astounded this exists.

    Dreadful - don't bother

    Barely made it to 10 minutes in - clunky, poorly directed, lame.

    God Awful Crap

    OMG who spends money thinking they can get a return on this garbage but then again, he or she didn't loose much I'm sure. A few times I've said, "worse movie ever" this one is "worse attempt at a movie EVER!" Only one positive thing...Elissa Dowling, you can act but don't use this film on your resume.
