I thought there's possibly a very bad reason why something filmed in 2016 would already be free to rent for so long in 2017, but I gave it a chance anyhow. I don't judge movies by the budget, I've seen very well executed low-budget films, but this one is just a waste of time, if it was that easy to make a movie we'd all do it with one laptop and a gopro pissing our day away in the woods. Yet we don't, and these two guys shouldn't have either.

I'm not a stranger to found footage, and more often than not the feeling of first person will work well for me, but not this time. I felt dizzy for an hour after the movie from camera shake and half- deaf by unnecessary addon of shrieking and static noise every few minutes of this piece of work, where it ended up completely in loss of the concept and the idea and couldn't decide whether it wants to fit in the genre of horror, thriller or scifi disgracefully falling out of all three at once. Characters are like those college goofs we all know that can be very funny and interesting, if they have a merit, but these guys don't, so it goes to a high escalation to annoying and unbearable to watch within minutes.

Unless you really enjoy your senses being attacked by screeching and camera turbulence for no particular reason, this movie has very little to bring to the table. Even the characters get so messed up by the lack of their own idea that they don't know how to get out of it, but you can - don't watch it and save yourself from loosing 80 minutes of your life you're never getting back.
