Overrated

Excellent but underrated film

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

I had no clue what this indie movie was about or anything. But after watching it, I fell in was really surprised. I kept thinking about the film throughout the day. But what really got to me was the feeling I had going to bed. It just kept sticking with me. What I enjoyed most is this film goes for the creepiness under your skin, not the super quick shocks that alot of movies have today. It was more of a slow burn than anything. The camera direction was nicely done. The shots were gorgeous. Some of the scenes such as the lakebed scene are breathtaking. There are some dark shots that were grainy but it didn't really bother me because I was invested in the characters. It won't be everyone's cup of tea though. Sometimes the acting seems a little funky. There were a surprisingly large amount of effects in this indie film. They were pretty good for the most part. I was happy that the filmmakers went for a climatic ending. The music is very haunting and beautiful throughout. I wish I could get a soundtrack of it to just listen to in the car. Pacing started out very slow and calm, but by the third act, it was moving very fast. The director, Brain Metcalf managed to keep the film interesting while focusing largely on only one character by showing lots of different environments and lots of creepy things happening.I give the film 9 out of 10 stars.

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.

This film is not perfect but it kept my interests the entire time. The feeling that this movie made me feel was a feeling of sadness, fear, mystery. It kept me interest throughout. The acting was fairly decent with a special nod to Scott Grimes for his comical relief. That's not to say the film didn't have it's problems. There were budgetary restraints but that said, the effects in this film were pretty good. There were some sound issues as well. The third act is very good as the pace goes from slow to very fast. Overall, I enjoyed this film.

This movie is a warm, steaming pile of poo. The acting is pathetic. Parts of the dialogue are obviously ADR and sound like they were recorded in a tin can. The special effects are bad even for a B movie. Michael Madsen and Lacey Chabert should be embarrassed for having anything to do with this disaster. I'm just glad it was only $2.99.
