... of idiotic characters. We have the requisite band of "friends" heading off to some wilderness adventure/class reunion. Somehow, our intrepid band of idiots become separated from their overall group and end up setting up camp with a friendly couple. Over and over again, someone in our merry band makes some kind of remark about having seen horror movies, and not doing the stupid things that they've seen in horror movies, and yet what do they do?

They drive on in a direction that they know nothing about, in a car with known mechanical issues.

They shoot a person making a threat, and immediately drop the gun to the ground.

They separate in the dark.

The absolutely most annoying thing about this movie is the character, "Bo". He supposedly has a "touch of Asperger's", but he comes across as perhaps the most cloying, clingy, whiny, sniveling wimp in the history of cinema. He whimpers, wheedles, whines, and mewls through virtually every line that he has. Marshmallows are tougher than "Bo". I was hoping that he would get killed off just so that I wouldn't have to listen to him snivel any longer.

Do yourself a favor and pass on this piece of trash.
