Just watched this. I LOVED The Battery, so much that I contributed to the kickstarted campaign for this so I really wanted to like this.
Unfortunately this just didn't work for me, a funny character standing in front of a camera, waving his arms and yelling look at me for 90mins does not a movie make.
The score was great though.
Comedy is a tough nut. Maybe it would have been better if they'd thrown TEX into the horror found-footage genre. Comedy/horror might have worked better than comedy alone!? I like TeX and think he's a funny character, but 90 minutes of just him, fumbling around in the woods, was asking a lot.

I had a similar reaction to this film as I did to Deadpool, A great character in need of an actual film.
shareagree, both me and a friend fell asleep halfway seeing it.
there is not enough material for a 90 minute movie. everything could have been put in a 30 minutes short movie.
also the production is not on par with The Battery: they should have tried harder both in writing and in the setup.
he says alive months, still we never see him eating or drinking anything (funny scene aside). he has no tent or proper blankets to survive a freezing wood so the whole premise (he's a fraud) is void, as he, actually, survives for much longer than a normal person would.
finally, it looks pretty improvised. a 90 min. monologue with a real story is not a movie.
