Yay Netflix!
"Man is the only animal that kills because it's fun." - Not only is that simply not true, it implies killing is fun. That wasn't said by the killer, but by one of the "good guys". He also happens to be a vet with PTSD, so take that however you want.
Two brothers and one of their wives go into the woods. Three masked killers happen to be there as well.
When you see who the killers are you will immediately understand the 4.7 this film has on IMDB. That site gives out 6s and 7s for less than average garbage, so imagine how bad this film has to be to earn a 4.7. (And because this is horror and the concept is up my alley, I can't even rate it on the new Netflix thumbs system. Fuck you very much Netflix!)
The acting by the brothers is pretty much dog shit. The female lead is much better, but only in spots. None of them are believable in their roles.
Skip this turd.
Everything below this is spoilers.
This is bad writing 101 and a showcase of the writer's ignorance of the military, PTSD, the mind of killers, video games, teenagers, etc. I swear the writer/director's message here is the military is bad and video games teach our kids to be murdering lunatics.
Do you believe a teenage boy can take a sharpened stick about 5 inches into the calf, get hit in the head with the butt of a rifle, full force, about half a dozen times by a grown ass man, and then 10 seconds later stand up with no ill effects? If so, this is the movie for you. Bonus points for that stab wound not bleeding and that same kid being the pussy of the group who has to go home before he gets in trouble with his mom...even though they were there all night.
The kids never talk to one another. They just text, even when standing next to each other. They do play violent video games though...I mean, "murder simulators".
I think my favorite part was how the three leads went to bed inside a tent, with a big hunting dog outside, and woke up in the morning with the tent and all their stuff gone, including the dog. Plus, they have Xs painted on their foreheads. Does the writer not even know how fucking tents work?
Christopher Denham should stick to acting because he's too stupid to write. He has three other movies he's written:
-A short about a veteran that goes crazy. That is his highest rated film on IMDB.
-Area 51 which I was certain we've reviewed here with an truly impressive 4.2 IMDB score.
-Home Movie with a 5.7.
Listen, I respect the effort, but do some research for your writing you asshole.
