Plot: Three gals who would likely never be friends take a road trip to... the woods? Here, they are stalked by a masked killer looking for internet clout.
Cast: Heather is a "fake on the outside" girl who is obsessed with social media. Riley is a "sad on the inside" girl who always sides with Big Tech, Big Government, and the Mainstream Media (basically the opposite of punk rock). Sam is a "down to Earth" girl with a recently troubled past. The supporting cast consists of a bumbling moron who works as a park ranger, a highly accurate and efficient killer EXCEPT when it comes time to kill a lead and he turns into a bumbling moron, and another bumbling moron who works as a park ranger.
Visuals: I enjoyed the camera work in this film. The cuts were spliced together nicely and there were some really cool shots, like one into a tent.
Audio: The underlying music made this nearly unwatchable. While it is intentionally jarring, that doesn't change the fact that it's... well, jarring. If you purposefully cook a bad burger then people are going to say it's a bad burger, right?
Performances: The acting was pretty good and much better than I expected it to be. I assume the goal of the writer was to make you hate Heather and Riley and they do a dayumed fine job of portraying that. Fortunately, Sam is a very likeable character and she ends up becoming the primary protagonist by the end.
Overall: I feel this movie would have actually been good if The Wolf had been more effective. There are no stakes once you see the killer would rather give 10 minute speeches like an 80s spy villain to the leads than, ya know, be a killer. When all of the lead characters survive by the end of a Horror film, you kind of know the movie has failed its audience.
