The main character was a rarity in a horror movie. She didn't do anything stupid at all. When she hit the guy with the rock and he fell down the cliff she was smart enough to not try for the gun. Usually I would say go for the gun, but she was too far from him and would have had to climb down the hill.
She also didn't hesitate when she did things. She didn't get out of the van to check to see if he was dead. She ran that ass right over.
Yeah, it's a rarity and nice to see, wish more filmmakers would not treat the audience as idiots (I suppose they have their reasons, who knows). Also a rarity is the portrayal of Christian characters in a positive light, so kudos to Naked Fear for having the guts to do so. I'm referring to the campers who selflessly aid the girl and are quickly murdered for their efforts.

Well, the pair of kids (along with thier father) were killed while providing aid to her, perhaps comforting to you seeing as how they commited such a heinous crime as noticing a naked woman run into their camp.

Well, with three mentions:
1 - You're barefoot, naked and have 15 min. headstart, right? So, you start running and when you don't see anymore your stalker you start yelling: "Heeeeelp!, Anybodyyyyy??!?". Instead of hiding and speaking no more than a fish, just make aware your butcher about your location. Yeah, why not?
2 - You have a hunter on your steps, you need footwear, some clothes but most important - a weapon, to try to protect yourself, right? But no, Sir, I'm wrong:the number one priority in this case is to knee down by the river and wash your hands. Fook seeking protection, first I must wash hands.
3 - And finally, something which is driving me nuts each time. You fight for survival, you're alone, nobody around to help. It's a matter of life and death. What do you do? You knock down your enemy by surprise, he's lying inert on the ground, his scoped rifle next to him.
I don't know the others, but if I was that damsel I would smash his skull like I beat schnitzels. Self defense, I win, case closed, coming home, movie over.
But no, the lady choose to run. Instead of solving the-life and death-situation, she let her hunter to get back on his feet and start everything AGAIN.
Later, he managed AGAIN to stab him and bite his ear. Any sane person would go berserk and slash the fooker beyond recognition.
She has, though, an excuse: from Friday the 13th to any other slasher/thriller/horror/whatever, all the "victim" characters are as smart as sheep. How they manage to survive in the end, is beyond me. Or maybe it's some Hollywood fetish or obsession, I don't know.

One mark of how intelligent and practical she was ? When she found the discarded shirt, she first put it on to regain some body heat. Note that she also tucked her feet into her makeshift tent.
When she was warm again, she took it off again and used it to make much-needed coverings for her feet. She took off running, still naked, then put the shirt on because this way it freed up her hands.
I concur. Diana was very smart and resourceful.
