n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Three girls go for a holiday at a cabin in the woods and are disturbed by a stranger with a gun. I was expecting some second rate horror when I put this on but instead it turned out to be a surprisingly good thriller. This isn't a horror in anyway and not at all scary though it does build some effective tension. It's more a study of the relationship between the three girls and how they react to the strange situation they find themselves in. For me what makes this a good film is the casting. Rather than three airheads we are given three believable characters who you can actually relate too. The acting by all the girls is good but in particular Jeannette Brox as Ruth who I thought was excellent. James Morrison the only other cast member did a wonderfully understated performance as the intruder. This is a strange film in many ways but very enjoyable and well worth a watch.

"Death Game" is a somewhat similar themed film where an unsuspecting male is tormented by young females. That 1977 film, stared Sondra Locke. Here the three teenage protagonists hold a hermit hostage, vacillating on what to do with him. In their minds he could be the one responsible for a double murder in a nearby cabin several years ago, or simply a loner who had been living in the girls' rarely visited cabin. Not always logical, sometimes lurid, the outcome is never certain, which keeps things interesting for the tight running time of 78 minutes. The acting is totally acceptable, and the Colorado rockies on location photography stunning. - MERK

They put the same girl (Ruth) in charge of watching over the "killer" TWICE while the other two went off to chat/make out? Ruth, who was dumb enough to be tricked into actually untying the hands of the prisoner and was about to do some spit-swapping with the guy? I mean, at that point, my patience for these girls just wore out. Yes, they're young and lack any wisdom, but it gets to a point where credibility is strained so badly you just can't root for them any more. At that point, I was so fed up with their stupidity I began cheering for Morrison's character to just turn out to be a real killer and start firing away with his shotgun. Or worse. The laws of Darwinism should apply here in full measure.The writing on this terrible movie was just abysmal. I don't fault the actors involved as they did their jobs competently, even the directing seemed to be fine. It's the writing that was just so poor, it undid everything else about this movie. I never developed one iota of sympathy for the three protagonists and yet oddly enough from the moment he first appears, Morrison's character is far more identifiable and easier to empathize with. And he simply isn't the complete idiot the other three are, which has the most to do with it probably.

If you, like me, don't like movies where the characters make every stupid decision you can think of... this movie is not for you.The drama is built on the young girls extremely stupid and completely unrealistic decision.If you want to watch a great thriller about women in a cabin in the woods, watch the Descent. The acting in the movie is actually pretty good. The same for the dialog. It's just that all of their problems could have easily been avoided with just the slightest use of common sense. Instead of tense moments, they are frustrating.
