3.0*/5.0*

A pretty simple but amusing thriller/horror. It's a retread of the "people go hiking in the woods" premise, nothing very original, and Hendrick doesn't even make a real effort to hide the fact he's going for core genre work here, but with Halloween right around the corner, it's a decent enough film to warm up to the horror season.

The performances are decent enough, the characters are slightly less annoying simply on account of them not being American teens, and the slow rise of the tension is proficient. The film is a tad long though and with nothing there to set it apart from so many other films, it's just simple genre filler.
