The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This movie had some pretty decent acting from the two female leads, but I just can't get past the decision to make the killer just "some guy in the woods who wants to kill people."I guess the director thinks that it's mysterious or something to not give him any sort of background or motivation, but, to me, it's just lazy AF.I guess they were trying to lay hard on the whole mom and son coming together after the death of the dad thing, but, meh. That could be a PART of the movie, but to hang your hat on that without giving us anything that gives us any reason to care about what's going on is really just lazy.Also, leave the woods when a weirdo starts being weird.

Look, I love a good scary movie. I'll be the first to admit that I even like bad scary movies. So I figured, what the hell, I'll watch this on Netflix. It's bad but not in a good way. The "bad guy" just lingers in the distance, does not have one single line of dialogue, and has no apparent motivations for doing any of what he does through the movie. The relationship between the mother and son is good, but that's the only positive thing I have to say about this. I was bored and actively wishing the movie would end. Also, Mr. Bad Guy, who wears sunglasses in the forest at night? What's your deal? You were so boring but also so intriguing. What even is this movie? Skip it.

This movie was like a mish mash of Fight Club combined with Hal Holbrook's famed "Rituals" from the old days.The son accepted death dealing brutality upon someone evil that killed an innocent family friend, so he & the mother could make it out of there alive. As time goes by audiences will reject the falsity of the P.C. movement IMO & embrace the cold harsh reality of the real World once more.

This is just a bad movie not worth your time to watch. Bratty kid. Over protective mom. Bad influence friend of mom. Innocent hiker trying to stop them from littering by murdering them. Save yourself an hour of your life and do something else.
