After arriving at their remote cabin, a family trying to enjoy their vacation together is soon assaulted and terrorized by a mysterious gang of psychos looking to torture and kill them for staying at the location and must band together to survive the situation and get away alive.
This was a decent enough if troublesome genre effort. One of the bright spots for this one is the solid build-up to the invasion which has a lot to like. Getting the early work about the family and their interactions while staying there, that starts this off well enough before the film takes a turn with the strangers' arrival as the eerie encounters and chilling resolution play quite well together. This offers a rather fun setup that combines all these elements together to generate a fun entry point setup that puts the likable enough groups into the terrifying ordeal. That provides the point for the film to generate a solid series of confrontations that take place throughout the cabin. The initial series of attacks focus on the family fighting back before the numbers game allows them to gain the advantage and continue the chase which allows the series of shocking appearances to carry things along. Including the final part which features the captured members being tied up and tortured in some rather brutal means which are quite terrifying to see play out as several of these bring about an unexpected emotional resonance. These features provide a lot to really like although the film does have some factors to hold it down. One of the biggest drawbacks here is the general limitations imposed on this one by its home invasion structure. Things aren't as interesting as they should've been with the way this plays out with the villains overtaking the house only through the stupidity of the family not to realize or trust what's going on. With constant instances where characters stand around talking to each other, fail to capitalize whenever they get the upper hand, or drop their weapons and run away allowing the confrontation to continue, these aggravating features are a chore to get through. As well, there's also a highly confusing feature at the end where the invasion has finished and it turns into a true crime documentary where the sheriff and his deputy are interviewing others that had nothing to do with everything about absolute nonsense which just really ends this on a sour note. That the investigation goes nowhere makes everything completely irrelevant, it features nothing of interest due to the lack of interest in who they're talking to and overall its use is just not needed here. These features are the main drawbacks that hold it down.
