Not sure I can get 600 characters worth of disappointment at what could have been, but I'll try..
The scenery is great.. The story concept fine.. It all goes downhill from there.. Someone else mentioned details and that's the biggest flaw for sure.. "Put the gun down or I'll shoot the kid.." Well, uh, he's gonna kill you both anyway so why in the hell do they always put the gun down..? 🙄 Biggest cliche of stupidity ever..! Then others have mentioned stuff like walking off into the night with your truck unlocked and the lights on.. Hero is soaking wet from the lake water, seconds later dry as a bone.. Bad guy miraculously heals from a stab wound in a couple days.. Two other guys have significant life threatening wounds, but soldier on to their bitter end.. I don't think so.. The bad hillbilly boys never cuss.. And generally not using contracted words.. That's a major pet peeve.. Who the hell talks like that..? And then wimpy music teacher turns into bad ass country boy with no explanation other than just because.. He knows the bad guys are coming, but takes forever to start preparing and stays camped out in the open.. All of a sudden he turns into Rambo and is making complicated traps that the actual country boys walk right in to.. This only happens in Hollywood.. At the end the truck with its miracle battery starts right up and off they drive.. No mention of the bodies.. Assume he buried them with his tiny pick in a forest full of tree roots..? 🙄 The kid finding the one person in the massive forest who knows sign language..? 🤣 Poor writing, major plot holes, stilted acting.. The director should know his script since he wrote it.. Editing atrocious.. It's almost a parody of typical Hollywood cliches all jammed together to distract the ignorant audience from the initial poor script.. I still ended up giving it a 5 because I really like the challenging nature movies.. The cinematography was pretty good and kudos for that..! The rest, no.. 5 is generous to say the least..
