Had Potential but Pretty Lame


A lot could have been done with this basic plot but it goes nowhere.
One thing is does accurately portray is how fearful and helpless a lot of young people are nowadays. Five kids hit the deep woods, neither guy takes a gun for protection, they cry and whimper the entire time instead of showing some backbone and doing something to help their situation- their phones don't work and they're like...well, babe's in the woods, easy to pick off for any aggressive party. The females are useless in protecting themselves, the guys
aren't any better though Mark does
show some balls before he's taken out. They go wandering off in the woods and get lost - the part where they happily find their house in the dark,that doesn't happen. They damn sure don't know how to party either, jeez!
So to sum up, 5 stupid city people, all victims waiting to happen put themselves in a situation where they become victims. .of what or whom we're never told. Pretty realistic but not very entertaining.
