Lack of good storyline.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Movie had potential, with a 28 Days Later type setup except in the woods. Director makes all types of college film mistakes. 1. Time continuity off, it is morning yet after a couple of hours walking, it is night. This keeps happening....check. 2. Characters smart one second, dumb a few minutes later....check 3. Hear bump in the night and feel need to investigate, alone, with no weapon...check 4. Gun with endless supply of bullets....check 5. Something chasing us let's split up....checkAt this point, you do not have any care what happens to any of the characters.

Three couples go camping deep into the woods of Hollywood (?). Their introduction was brief. They are medical students. Nothing in the introductions had any significance to the film. I guessed the girl who just got engaged would be the final girl...not really clear who she would be. Fifteen minutes into the film, without knowing the characters we have an attack by, not a wolf or a bear, but the title character. Plot predictable. Cabin, guy who lives there, no phone, twenty miles to the road, and we also discover the back story and this is a PLOT SPOILER virus that causes people to turn. Nothing really new in this cabin in the woods tale. I hoped all the characters were eaten. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

To be honest, this movie isn't even worth reviewing. So I'll be quick and to the point, because I don't want anyone to waste 90 minutes of their life on this movie. The only two likable characters in this movie get taken out of commission within the first 10 minutes. After that, you're left with the whiniest, most annoying group of people you'd never want to meet. They meet someone, played by Lew Temple, who deserves way better than to be in this, and he's nice enough to let them bring their injured friend to his cabin, stay there, and feed them. You would think they would be grateful, right? No. Scout-Taylor Compton, who suffers from resting b!tch face, spends the entire time looking at him, as if he killed her mother. She shoots the guy, when he's trying to explain what's going to happen to their friend, chases him out of his own home, then beats him with his own gun when he comes back. Oh and her girlfriend stabs him in the back. He tells them that their friends (two at this point) are infected, and are going to turn into the creature that she has already seen one of her friends turn into, after it tried to kill them all. Her response? "NO! I am training to be a doctor! I am NOT killing her!"Cut to 10 minutes later, when she's bashing friend #2's skull open like it's a pumpkin, to save her own butt. Then she sends her girlfriend out into the woods, knowing full well that there is another creature out there, while SHE keeps the gun. Sure enough, her girlfriend gets attacked and infected. Her girlfriend BEGS her to kill her, because she doesn't want to become a creature. Does she grant her girlfriend's final request? NO! She leaves the gun with her and makes her commit suicide...alone. Then it ends on the other infected friend who is handcuffed to a bed, growling. As if we forgot, or even cared that SHE was still there. If you've read this and you STILL want to watch this movie, then you will watch anything. You probably have posters of The Bye Bye Man, Truth Or Dare, and The Emoji Movie framed on your wall. No insult. It takes all kinds to make a society.

I can't believe the low reviews on this movie. Even after checking them I saw the movie anyway and was impressed not only by the movie, but how can people rate this so low. The movie is very well shot, great performances by the cast, specially by Scout Taylor-Compton. The atmosphere is great and has that classic 70s feeling that keeps coming back nowadays. The action scenes and effects are top notch and although it was done on a low budget, the result was very pleasant. Not perfect, some scenes were a bit strange, I got the feeling some of them were shot during the day and not at night, sounds from "day birds" instead of nocturnal animals, and so on. Some strange decisions also from the group and inconsistent sound range from victims that were never heard so near. All in all, good entertainment, great little movie here.
