I think high school drama class students could have delivered a more convincing portrayal of the main characters in this movie. The acting is forced, almost comedic in parts where the film is supposed to be serious and suspenseful. The constant arguing between the two male friends early in the movie is annoying and it made me want to turn it off after about 15 minutes. Although painful to watch, I kept at it and finally some action took place around the 30 minute mark. However, the film goes downhill from there and this found footage novelty isn't worth your time. The effects are lame and the camera angle of the characters running through the forest in the dark is unrealistic; the lens is too far away from the actor for him to be holding it with his hands. It's obvious a third party non-cast member was holding the camera in front of him. Skip this piece of garbage and save your time.

Camera movement was horrible, like parkinson disease, gave me vertigo the first 30 minutes

Let's just say the acting was passable. So, no real problems there. Aldo, don't believe the IMdB synopsis. There is NO 36" snowfall trapping them in their tents. Minor snow, but no 3 ft blizzard.
The rest? Typical found footage. In this case, instead of late teens/early 20s, we have late 20s/early 30s. Two men/two women. The guys have known each other forever, the ladies, kinda. Typical characters, though. The tough guy, three women, takes who ever may be available even though he does have a steady. The other, budding film guy. Series on the web, developing one for regular channels. The women are your stereotypical females. Strong, confident until trouble hits, then weak & unable to think for themselves.
The aliens were not much more than a dummy in a fridge & bright lights with weird noises. That was it. Supposedly they cannot escape from the area, but they're doing this in the early morning hours when it's pitch black out. No flashlights & no reasonable way of keeping on track with getting out.
Is this movie fixable? Possibly. The biggest fix would be to shorten it by about 15 min. Would it detract? No, it would tighten it up & make it better. The biggest problem for FF movies is not the bad acting, the lousy camera angles, the shaky cameras, out of focus, they don't help. It's the simple fact that they believe we want every shaky angle, every close up, every weepy, snot running apology or explanation.
Overall, it's not a bad watch, but too long, too tedious, & too tired.
