Too much of everything
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I wanted to but couldn't!
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Loved the characters - the film is a bit funny and scary. Great ending.
Id honestly really enjoyed this film,&watched it tonight again on Hulu(&honestly also re-watching next on Hulu a Based on True Events/B.O.T.E. film called"Dark Mountain",also a shorter length film,that Id rate the same as well w/6,though wish a more of a 6.5 were possible to choose,though).Itd been awhile since last watching the films.But,this film left me wishing that they really had a higher"Movie Budget",than just the roughly $120K,Because then they maybe could've had the chance to keep going past the ending,which even in itself,was also good!Even though it was a low budget movie,it doesn't seem like it is by having that tacky video look&quality to it.They did a well chosen movie concept to do,along w/having some pretty good Actors,who played their character parts well,too!Its definitely like they ALL made the best of it w/what they had to work with!IMHO,they pull it off w/taking advantage of using what they can,&w/the various elements to let your mind also contribute,w/your imagination working w/the movie,per say.Rather than trying to use up the budget$$ to try"amping it up"in some way.Which Im guessing like other low budgets,whod ended up butchering their flick to where the quality pays the price making literally a"B-Minus Movie",&a badly executed movie!Which is altogether why I also wish there were also a way I could've rated up abit w/choosing more like 6.5 Stars and wish there were more to the movie in the ending,but it was still a good ending &movie for what it is altogether...Although this is my personal opinion,&know everyones is different :)
Expected this to be yet another tedious "found footage" movie but was pleasantly surprised to find that not the case. Does an admirable job of building mood, altho the characters are basically too stupid to be sympathetic. I mean, you go hiking in the woods without a map or compass? Really? And fall to arguing as soon as you're in the car? Meh. But the overall effectiveness is not greatly diminished by this cliché of genre films. Also affecting the movie is the lack of effective cinematography for a film set in the very scenic Catskill Mountains of New York. However, what is there does work. This was obviously shot on location somewhere it was hilly and wooded, and in the real winter, so that makes up for the otherwise lackluster camera work. The mood is sufficiently weird and creepy to achieve the atmosphere it's going for, and the ending out of left field is pure Twilight Zone stuff. Not a bad hour-and-sixteen minutes.
--- This movie suffers from something no movie can succeed without, a well written and complete story. No movie is going to do well if it doesn't hold the watcher's attention, if it doesn't have a linear line of events leading to an eventual ending. Something this movies totally lacks. Oh we have a story in a sense, four people go hiking during the cold winter in an isolated wilderness area but then it just sort of drags along for the rest of the length of the movie not really accomplishing anything. --- In the end of course we are given the news that aliens have attacked and the world is ending or the sky is falling or some such thing. Apparently we are supposed to believe that the mysterious lights and occasional sounds heard at night by the hikers was the aliens. But we get no information on how their friend is killed or why there was a chemical smell in the air at one point or what the lights were at night. We simply have a boring progression of not very scary events that are not explained by action or explanation. Then in the end we are left with one person who finds a road and is almost run over by rushing cars. Of course we are never told why these aliens would want to torment 4(3) helpless Earth kiddies or how they found them alone in the woods. Nor are we told why they buzzed the hikers with colorful lights at night and go about making strange noises or smells, or why they decide to deep freeze one of the hikers. These things go on and on but without any reasoning or explanations as if we should simply know and understand why invading aliens would pick 4 lone individuals to torment while they are apparently destroying the rest of the world in Technicolor. Then miraculously he can receive cell messages again and there are images of the alien attack and written messages about aliens and the end of the world and more mysterious lights appear in the woods and the man appears frozen in fear. We never do find out the answers to all these things other than to learn that aliens have attacked. Then cue in ending credits, play exit music. FINALLY this waste of time is over. Or at least that is my opinion. I gave it a 4 out of 10 and that is being kind hearted in my opinion too.
