... View MoreIt’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.
... View Moreneither original nor well done, either. The atmosphere was quite creepy for a while, then it became obvious this movie was about time travel and mumbo jumbo only. The whole idea behind it was OK, but we have seen this several times already. The acting wasn't terrible and I don't mind the bad German, either. The special effects in the end scenes and the rushed ending broke the movie for me. The whole thing felt like a student's work, a low low budget first attempt at movie making. I would not recommend this movie to anyone as it has nothing that stands out or was worth watching it.The girls showed some very convincing acting, though.
... View More6.5/10 The film is build on some very fundamental mystery-thriller concepts - three people, seemingly strangers, end up in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere under unclear circumstances, and find themselves unable to leave.The first part where we get acquainted with the characters and the mysterious surroundings is well paced and atmospheric, as is the middle part where the pieces of the puzzle start getting revealed. The acting is rather good as well.What doesn't let the film become a real surprise is the last part, where we learn the purpose of the protagonists' presence in the woods. It's a little underwhelming, the fourth character seems a bit out of place, and the whole affair, especially the very ending, is rather cheesy.A much better film than you might expect from a low budget thriller, it's entertaining but missing that one extra good idea that would make it a memorable exception.
... View MoreI watched this movie by accident on the Chiller cable channel. Yeah, with the awful, LONG commercials every 10 or so minutes. With a lesser movie, those commercials would have driven me away from watching more than just a couple minutes. But I braved those commercials because I was really intrigued with the plot and the characters.Funny that at least one other reviewer mentioned The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, because that is EXACTLY what I thought while watching. There was no gore to speak of, and no frights in the conventional sense. It just drew me in and made me want to watch it until the end.The one complaint I have that prevented me from rating this movie higher is all the gratuitous and rather tedious chase scenes through the woods. That was a whole LOT of filler, in my opinion. 15 minutes, at least, could easily have been trimmed from this movie and it would have made for a tighter, more interesting experience for the viewer. But then, maybe the result would not have been long enough for a "feature film." Still, I would recommend this movie for anyone who wants something fun, intriguing, and thought-provoking.
... View MoreI got this movie from Netflix not knowing what to expect, and, boy, did it surprise me! It was one of those movies that works well-make that brilliantly-with a limited cast and setting and an eerie plot. It starts off with Sara Paxton robbing a convenience store. She winds up at a cabin in the middle of the woods with two strangers. They all have no explanation as to why they are there with rational explanations as to HOW. Why they are there is unraveled throughout the course of the movie. They cannot escape as each person seems strange to each other. Everything is revealed in clues, premonitions, and dialogue (sometimes humorously!) along the way as the creepy and scary atmosphere persists. The acting and writing were all great in this gem-I was very glad I got this. It was far from a classic but not bad either.** 1/2 out of ****
