> 3 dayThis limp thriller has a young parks employee, Wendy (Karina Fontes), heading out into the wild to post handbills along a hiking trail. At some point she wanders off the trail and gets lost; of course her cell phone charge dies shortly after she realizes this. In trying to find a spot where her walkie talkie will make a connection she discovers a several days old body. Eeuw. (I’m not being snarky; that’s approximately her reaction.) Now she has to stick around near the corpse until help arrives and deal with another hiker (Casey Adams) – maybe a murderer! – who insists on rummaging through the body’s clothes for identification. Oh, yes, and there’s a bear that – despite much being made of it on the case art – only shows up at practically the end of the film and (SPOILER ALERT) is easily sent packing. From the cheesy, computer generated opening titles (over some of the crappiest music I’ve ever heard) to, well, just about everything else, this film misses the mark and – except for really good photography – looks every bit as low budget as it likely is. It’s essentially supposed to be a study of a young woman finding out she’s stronger and more resourceful than she realizes but Wendy is such a whiner who comes off feeling very entitled that it’s nigh impossible to care about her (particularly as she makes bone-headed decision after bone-headed decision – not that the story could proceed without them). There’s a plot twist at the very end (no, I won’t spoil that) that seems pulled in from another movie. If it is really the point here I’ll just note that Rod Serling used to do this kind of thing more successfully and in one third the time.

> 3 dayIf I could give this two and a half stars I would, but I dont feel right giving it two stars so it gets three. It was enjoyable and it kept my attention the whole time, but at the end of it I couldnt help but wonder what the point of it all was. The acting, tone, and concept behind the film were good, but these strong parts cant make up for how weak the overall direction is. There were definitely scenes that were scary/compelling but as scene after scene happens it starts to feel like the film is wandering. I get that shes trapped out in the woods but it feels like we get too many scenes of half-baked scenarios that dont really contribute to anything in the end. **Minor spoilers** I wanted there to be some larger point to it because I was genuinely intrigued by the tent she found and the guy she encountered, but the way the twist at the end tried to tie it all together was very disappointing and didnt provide a satisfactory conclusion. I like parks and vaguely artsy indie horror films so this piqued my interest, and if youre like me then Id say go for it. Theres definitely worse films out there. But if you dont have any special interest in it Id say keep looking.

> 3 dayKept my attention, good storyline. Very B budget though. But like most thrillers and horror movies, it was based on one bad decision after another. If people in movies made sound decisions, movies would only last three minutes.
