Don't waste your time or money on this

I watched the movie and however my expectations weren't too high, I must say that this flick has nothing that that I like in a 'thriller':

It was boring, it had enerving 'conversations', a predictable plot and poor acting (I must admit, that if there isn't a real script, what's about acting?).
This movie is a wannabee of its worst kind.
It tries to jump on the "I have lost my mind - and I try to reconstruct the puzzle"-train. But, please Mr. Scherman, leave this to directos who really know their job - as for instance Chris Nolan ('Memento'), Brad Anderson ('The Machinist') or James Magold ('Identity') or John Polson ('Hide and Seek'), [admittingly a little weaker than the other example], just to mention a few.

I repeat: Don't expect too much - or better to say NOTHIN' out of this movie.
For 'round 90 minutes there are only two (b-)actors walking through a wood talking bulls***t.

So neither waste your time nor money!

I disagree with you. This film has some very good qualitys. Top notch acting, An A+ well written script, Twisty "guess what comes next" plot ,interesting locations(extra points for taking place in the woods)and brilliant performances by some up and coming actors. This would make a great addition to anyones film library.

I agree with the original poster. This movie was very slow, dragging, and the conversations sounded like they were being read of the script. My husband said in the beginning "Lou Diamond Phillips? Haven't seen him in ages." Once you start watching the movie, you know why there are so few movies with him in it. The only good part was not knowing who did it, because they both could have been the killer according to the flashbacks.

this is one of those movies that even if you go to sleep, you can awake and pick up where you left off b/c you've missed NOTHING. it was so slow, drawn out. i have no suggestions for what could have made it any better
