The first half of this film is unimpressive. It's filled with clichés and grossly overused horror movie tactics
like jump scares, strange sounds, filming as if it's the point of view of someone watching, running off into the darkness, etc. It's pretty much EXACTLY what you'd expect from a movie about teens in the woods. At some point
all that changes though. Once the film reaches its climax
It kinda hangs out up there for a minute
you just KEEP getting hit with things you either didn't see coming, or didn't see them coming in that particular way. And by the end you're just like
"Boy that escalated quickly."
However, it drops the ball with character development. You don't really identify with or have any sympathy for these kids. You're just kinda waiting for whatever is gonna come and ruin their little lives. They just weren't that interesting.
Overall I enjoyed this enough to recommend it to horror fans. Full commentary WITH spoilers on YouTube/Twitter @moviebuffchick1
