Greater than one weekIf I could give this two and a half stars I would, but I dont feel right giving it two stars so it gets three. It was enjoyable and it kept my attention the whole time, but at the end of it I couldnt help but wonder what the point of it all was. The acting, tone, and concept behind the film were good, but these strong parts cant make up for how weak the overall direction is. There were definitely scenes that were scary/compelling but as scene after scene happens it starts to feel like the film is wandering. I get that shes trapped out in the woods but it feels like we get too many scenes of half-baked scenarios that dont really contribute to anything in the end. **Minor spoilers** I wanted there to be some larger point to it because I was genuinely intrigued by the tent she found and the guy she encountered, but the way the twist at the end tried to tie it all together was very disappointing and didnt provide a satisfactory conclusion. I like parks and vaguely artsy indie horror films so this piqued my interest, and if youre like me then Id say go for it. Theres definitely worse films out there. But if you dont have any special interest in it Id say keep looking.

> 3 dayKept my attention, good storyline. Very B budget though. But like most thrillers and horror movies, it was based on one bad decision after another. If people in movies made sound decisions, movies would only last three minutes.

> 3 dayActress was great, but the plot (a girl stuck in the woods who doesnt know with who or what), didnt move much beyond other similar films. The concept is very entertaining, and the filming was beautiful, but I was hoping for a few more surprises in this tale.

> 3 dayKarina Fontes brilliant acting as the character Wendy kept me watching as she delivered this wide ranging performance. From the innocent ill fitted young park worker to the very capable and strong young woman of the park ranger service, she brought the transition to life as I watched the emotional changes that I could recognize and sympathize with. Roxanne Benjamin directed this film using an opening sequence that was a reminder of films of the 80s. Another brilliant way of leading the movie goer to more innocent thoughts to begin the journey. From there she places the obstacles in front of Wendy in a recognizable way in which the viewer can relate, translating to a ride that is very personal. The ending is done perfectly to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat cheering for the finish that bring them strength. It does! Well done!

> 3 dayWhere to start? Poor plot, horrible acting, the lead actress is unlikable, and this movie is all over the place. Common sense went out the window when writing this. Very boring and then 3/4 of the way they go for weird and its all downhill from there. Unrealistic. Girl can barely manage to breathe and walk at the same time and then suddenly at the end with a bear, they have her a survival expert that can think on her feet.

> 3 dayThere have been many negative reviews by people who didnt watch the whole movie. I recommend giving it a chance because you dont really know the whole story until you watch the whole movie. The ending made the film worthwhile to me.
