Absolutely undeserving of the low rating it has on IMDB. This movie is very good and well worth the watch. The premise is that a group of 5 people go to a cabin for vacation, and can't leave - if they try to, they get transported back to the attic of the cabin.
Now, there are things that that some people have taken issue with, that I was more than willing to overlook, especially in a lower budget film:
The blood effects - I only noticed what looked like 'bad blood' to me in one scene....the rest of it looked ok to me.
The acting - I actually thought the acting was good. I've seen some bad acting, and this wasn't.
A couple of things I noticed: There are some weird camera flares (I think that's what they are) throughout a lot of the movie. I don't know if these were on purpose to not. I thought at one point maybe they we intentional, but they seem to have no point,or at least nothing is ever mentioned about the,. On the other hand, nothing is show on film any more, so you'd think they've have noticed and fixed these immediately if they weren't on purpose.
I hate when a movie starts with a scene from later in the movie, and this one does that...it doesn't add anything, and it just gives away some of the plot needlessly. In this particular movie, they jump into the action quickly, so there's really no need for it.
I recommend this one!!!

The start of the move left you feeling you walked half way into a conversation, there was no beginning as such - straight into a "horror" that had some suspense, but did not follow through.
I did spend the 90 minutes in suspense, then the ending happened, all foreplay and no climax!
The only redeeming aspect of this movie is the appreciation of a good one - when it comes along.

Walk Away is not just the title but it also foreshadows what I should have done prior to starting this. I get what the movie was trying to accomplish but just failed to hit its mark. The acting is bad, effects look terrible (especially the blood), music is hard to listen to and decisions made are just absurd. If I ever get caught in some kind of parallel universe unable to leave I hope I have more of a reaction than any of these guys. This is a hard pass
I was browsing through Amazon video when I stumbled across Walk Away. I didn't have high expectations, in fact they were rather low. I was surprised of how well the film turned out.
The acting wasn't the best nor was it terrible. The performances overall were mediocre, but had good moments. Especially during the climax. Dialogue didn't feel forced, a couple of moments felt odd, but were executed well. The cinematography and editing were good, but was slightly annoyed by the lens glare effects; although I'm not sure if it was unintentional or not. The blood effects at some moments looked a little unnatural and a bit pink, but the rest of it was pretty fine.
The writing is what surprised me the most. I was expecting it to be some cookie cutter, by the book horror. It wasn't. At first glance it may seem cliche, but it's a unique story line. I'm glad it was very psychological. Psychological horror can be hard to pull off, yet Walk Away did it well. It's much better than the lazy slasher rip-off garbage that screams, "I killed the kids next door after set the neighborhood drug addict on fire". In other words, it wasn't predictable and I'm happy to see that.
The soundtrack was definitely good and really well composed for the film. The audio editing was very good as well.
It may not be the best, but I recommend watching Walk Away if you're able to. I'd actually watch it again.

This film is set in a cabin in the woods.. 5 people went there for a vacation and could not leave as every time they tried to I leave they appeared back in the cabin... their sanity is tested till the very end
The acting was good, the plot original and interesting
Great idea!!
