  I got suckered into this by some reviews that people were clearly paid to write. That and I figured if it was bad at least I could watch cute little Lacey Chabert for 90 minutes. Sucker! Chabert had maybe 5 minutes of screen time. As a matter of fact, only a handful of scenes featured anyone more than the main character, and most of those were awful flashbacks. This movie seemed like something that would play in network television on a Sunday afternoon in the 80's. Awful picture quality, several times I started to curse at my WiFi connection for 240p resolution and then I remembered I was watching a disc. Seriously, there were times you couldn't even make out facial features. Then there was the overdone musical score. Do you know what puts me to sleep during a movie? Long stretches of music with no dialogue. Guess what 90% of this movie was...that's right, I was drifting in and out of consciousness from the 10 minute mark. It didn't matter though because whenever I was awake the main character was just wandering around a barren landscape. The acting when there was dialogue was awful, as if they were reading straight from the script. As bad as the opening scene was I was really hoping it would get better because it had good reviews. When the guys wife gets hit by the car it was sooooo poorly done; no sound effects like a screeching car, collision, or screaming. All of a sudden he walks up and you see his wife in the street wtf. Absolutely dreadful! The last 30 minutes (which is how long the movie should've been) the action finally picks up but by that point the movie is hopeless, and even the "climax" was pretty senseless. It's as if someone had this movie sitting in their closet for 30! years and decided to reshoot some scenes to include texting and iPhones to modernize it. Don't waste your money renting this and furthermore, when it makes it onto a free service, still do not waste your time unless you need something for insomnia.

• Horrible

  Horrible acting, music, and effects. It had me laughing the whole time. I could barely make it through 10 mins. The storyline makes no sense, and the ending was sloppily but together. Maybe if this was in the comedy genre instead of horror, I might give it 5 stars...I've watched tons of 'B' horror movies on Netflix and not one of them was nearly as bad as this.

• Well done

  Very well done and emotional film for an indie film. I had no clue which way this movie was going. The acting was well done and the directing had interesting angles. The film did a good job of keeping you interested which was impressive since a large amount of the film is about a person inside a cabin.

  Really bad acting, confusing plot, boring. Couldn't even watch the whole thing.

• Not worth it.

  This movie was pretty dumb. The graphics were terrible.
