This is a bit derivative and low budget, but the feelings it generated about dread, the way abuse traps its victims, the horror of never being free of it or feeling that you are free . . .it was quite well done. There needed to be some more dialog between the characters about what they were each going through, and the depth of the friendship of the main two women needed some more fleshing out as well - but the movie signaled enough about each of them, showing, not telling, to keep me invested and interested in them. The central story, the reveal, is very satisfying and scary and the wilderness is beautiful and vast.
