Like so many movies these days this started off pretty well and the acting wasnt as bad as some make out but the story needed a lot more work - it seemed to just degenerate into a stalk and slash with no actual thought for a story or any development further than the first 15 minutes in terms of characters or plot.
Sad because it could have been a modern female Deliverance if it had been done right. The producers should have taken a lesson from the excellent all female movie "The Descent" which is in my top 10 horrors and was a superb example of tension , terror and the descent into madness.
You have to laugh (and be careful) when checking out reviews on IMDB to decide whether to rent or not to rent a movie - check out all the 10/10 or even 8/10 reviews - they all have just one review under their belts and almost all at the same time - Why cant IMDB weed these out its obviously the makers or someone involved with the film. You can tell how desperate they are as soon as two bad honest reviews appear immediately two or three 10/10 ones appear but that cannot help it to skew the rating much as it still hits the 4 mark which is probably what it deserves.
Even the deaths were not remarkeable, you would think without a story they could have used some sense and provided us with some unusual death sequences.
To be fair the acting was ok , the scenery and photography were good but the male characters were not that convincing or threatening; even the mad, feral "Wrong Turn" nutter was about as frightening as a fanny bag!
