Wow, talk about a flawed gem.
Young park ranger gets lost in the woods, finds a body, has to sit tight until morning waiting for rescue. For the first 20 minutes of this movie, I assumed it was a 1980s “USA Up All Nite”-type d-grade picture. It wasn’t until she pulled out an iPhone and took selfies that I realized it was new.
The acting is crap, directing is crap, everything about it is amateurish and crap. But then, she spends the night out in the woods, and I have to say, it’s exactly the kind of movie I like, but could never recommend to anyone else.
Nowhere near as poetic as, say, Open Water, another bomb that I love, but I have to say, it’s effectively creepy just for the setup, as she slowly creeps herself out wandering around the woods at night all by herself. Even the handful of predictable scares didn’t ruin it for me. It kind of combined my love for crap “USA Up All Nite” pics with my love for solitary survival pics, so, works for me.
I imagine I’ll watch it again, although I can’t speak for anybody else on that one.
