A collection of unrelated scenes edited together
kyleboreing28 June 2020
Two roommates (whom we know very little about) head out into the woods to take modeling pictures. Their car breaks down, and they are forced to...pass the time? Yeah, that's about it.

The majority of this film is two young females taking to each other outside the car in the woods. They swim in a nearby creek, they eat fish that they catch, and that's it until one of them becomes ill; then they decide that maybe they should head back to civilization. The way the film is edited, we are supposed to believe that this takes place over the course of several days, but aside from complaining about feeling bad, the two leads look no worse for the wear despite being outside in the woods night after night.

From reading the description of this film, one expects a thriller or horror film, and in reality, that would've made it FAR more entertaining. Heck, even just exploring the relationship between the two roommates and creating some sort of tension Or motivation would've at least given viewers something to break up the monotony.

This film feels very amateurish. Some scenes appear to have been reused and recycled simply to pad out the running time. Random drone shots are inserted whenever time is supposed to pass. The two leads can't seem to agree on whether their acting should be dramatic or ironic.

Unlike films such as "Birdemic" or "The Room," where the technical shortcomings are part of the fun, this film simply drags on for 90 minutes. There's no real plot to speak of. It's just two girls in the woods.

So bad, its..........BAD!

Warning: Spoilers
How does this movie have a 4.8 rating when theres only one review who gave it a 1??? I am wondering if this was a college movie made by 20 year olds. It is SO bad it defies belief. 2 chubby, unattractive women go into the woods posing for photos in the cold rain. Later, their car wont start. The first time in modern history 2 women have no cell phones, and do not backtrack to a highway. Instead, the frolic in the frigid water each day, whining how hungry they are. Inexplicably, they never do anything to help themselves. They dont try to go for help. Then the moron locks her keys in her car ao they live out in the cold rain wating for some obscure person to find them The dumbest, stupidest, ridiculous, absurd move ever made. No common sense, horrible script, horrible diologue, horrible acting 2 chubby homely girls pretending to be models. In tealituhey would freeze from hypothermia. Why didnt they simply walk back to the highway??? This is way beyong embarrassing film making. Stupid, stupid, stupid Movie.
