I enjoyed it. Wasn’t bad at all
I genuinely enjoyed the first hour or so of this film. Interesting and likeable characters, beautiful and eerie setting, a creepy urban legend antagonist with bloodthirsty kills. Then after the first hour or so I found myself rewinding and watching the same scenes to check if I'd missed an important development
This movie started out giving me hope with some likable characters that are acted decently, and a beautiful and terrifyingly remote location. The first half of the movie is slow, but they do manage to build some tension. Unfortunately, after this the movie devolves into the same characters running around in the same circles (literally) doing the same things, which is a whole lot of nothing. The overuse of the shaky cam makes it unpleasant to watch. The monster or killer or whatever is blurry, not intimidating, and uninteresting.
Slight wolf creek vibes but mick Taylor is far more fun.
Looked decent was a bit slow low budget horror at its most obvious overall kind of ok and what I expected does what it does fine.
