Well, this was a little different, and for the most part kind of entertaining little indie flick. A trio of women from Atlanta take a vacation in the woods during the pandemic, and spend about half the movie kibitzing around, smoking weed and keeping themselves entertained, when they start to feel like there's someone there watching them.
And from there, just when the movie seems like it's just going to be these women kibbitzing around, it gradually gets far weirder than you would ever expect. It's not all entirely well-explained, but it something along the lines of an alien invasion, and things get stranger and stranger, and what had been a down-to-earth flick about three down-to-earth women in a cabin becomes a fairly convoluted low-budget special effects sci-fi spectacle.
I pretty much enjoyed it, for a very low-budget and possible amateur production B-movie it turns pretty ambitious. And the women are charismatic, really the chemistry between them is kind of entertaining just to watch all by its lonesome and I enjoyed it just for that. I could have done with a little better explanation of what the hell I just watched, but overall, I liked it for what it was. It's solidly low-budget, a B-movie, but definitely different, if nothing else.
Also noteworthy as a sci-fi-ish effort—at least for the second half—that stars almost entirely Black people. Not that it really matters much, except, I'm hard pressed to think of having seen that before. Nice to see some demographic diversity in sci-fi, even if it's a way offbeat, indie B-movie.
