Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
dallasmeddel Okay, I'm not yet done with the movie but I feel like this is already a somewhat not horrible horror movie. So far, my feelings are eh. The dog dies, so yes, I most likely won't like the rest of the movie. Then, the brother "kills" the first one, or one of the three killers. He turns his back, which is a BIG mistake. At least knock him out? The husband, is an idiot for taking the suspended water to a tree when the water bottles were stolen, and then stepped into his own trap?? Don't take suspended water from a tree. The wife, she gets unconscious from hitting that rock, then gets up rather quickly? She tries to hot-wire the truck, of course, but couldn't so she gears up and goes /back/ into the woods?? You don't do that..? You go away from the woods and get help, like she said she would??
HATCHA Woof First off I'd like to say that the actors did a real good job. That being said ,the directing had some major flaws. It really took away from what this movie could have been. SPOILERS AHEAD. The first brother was supposedly military trained , was smart enough to sneak back to the shooter In stead of run away and get gunned down . Then overpower him . That's where his intelligence stops. This guy turns his back to the man trying to kill him. Stupid movie. Didn't end well for him. Not realistic on the directors behalf. The second brother out smarts another assailant in a "johnny on the spot" . Overpowers him . Guess what? This brother also turns his back on the man trying to kill him. Another very stupid move, and once again very bad directing. Not realistic. The woman decided to climb the cliff in order to avoid the killers . That's was a smart idea. It was a very dumb idea to climb the highest point of he cliff when 2 meters to either side was so much easier and faster to have scaled. So very unrealistic. Then later on towards the end the woman traps herself inside a playground tunnel when she had so many more viable options . Completely unrealistic. However I don't blame her actors. They played there roles well. Just bad directing.
mary-179-677383 The first plot hole I noted was the female lead stated she was vegan but was happily holding a gun to try and shoot a deer. Hmm vegan that hunts.The second thing was that the characters had their tent stolen while they were sleeping and didn't even notice. Hmm, these bad guys must be ninjas.Then the ex military character finds the guy shooting at him, bashes his head in.. yet their is no evidence of this later. Then turns his back on the killer and is stabbed and killed.The next stupid scene was when the other main character male lead was being shot at and then hid in a toilet, where the killer was putting a knife through the toilet trying to kill him. He like his brother over powers the bad guy, takes the gun and then walks away.. Hmmm, he was trying to kill you? And you just walk off? In the end, the female character steps up and I like how she takes the lead and does kill the killers in the end.The ending was a good but could have been done better.I know some have made reference to the killers texting each other when they were sitting next to each other and I'd say this is common when you don't want to risk people over hearing you. So that scene didn't bug me too much
aussiesurfer70 Wow what an incredible movie. An absolutely absorbing and realistic journey into the world of 3 resilient and resourceful young Americans who find themselves matching wits with masked killers in an incredibly beautiful setting. OK seriously what a load of crap ! We are supposed to believe these idiots are asleep in the woods and wake to find the tent they were sleeping in is gone. As is there boots , cell phone and wait for it German shepherd. Mind you the brother saw them but still managed to get a cross painted on his forehead. My favourite part was when the brother who is a big guy smashes one of the masked kids head in with with a rifle but about 5 times. Somehow the masked kid stealthily gets up and coolly puts a knife through his chest. Let's ignore the fact he should be dead , brain dead or in a coma . I actually checked the genre at this point positive I was watching a sci fi and he was some kind of robot or terminator. The scene where the guy hides in the porta loo was ridiculous, why hide in a massive forest when there is a porta loo handy. Then he manages to escape through the roof unseen and land a few blows with a steel pipe he rips out of the toilet. I enjoyed the bike riding scenes though, some of the jumps looked cool and the masked killers looked to being enjoying themselves. This made me feel good . Please don't watch it you will feel dumber and angry.
