Reviews:
“It’s a usual slasher film in which a bunch of friends head into the wilderness, only to find themselves stalked by a garden variety Michael Myers wannabe with almost zero screen presence. For most of the time, this is made up of stilted conversations between wooden actors standing around aimlessly, begging to be directed.” Leofwine_draca
“What makes this more than a formula slasher though is that it pushes its mystery elements, and the scavenger hunt premise sure is the perfect vehicle for this. And due to the heightened mystery element, the film stays fresh and manages to surprise throughout and comes across as a really nice genre ride.” Search My Trash
