**_A group of college youths in an RV face… something in the woods_** Released in 2023, this features the set-up of movies like “Jeepers Creepers 2” and “Roadkill” (2011), just with a different antagonist. While it’s an indie written and directed by the same person, the filmmaking is proficient and the acting convincing. The first half is quite entertaining with several highlights (including an altercation reminiscent of “Duel”), but the second half morphs into a confined back road flick along the lines of “Wind Chill” and “The Toll.” Petite Crystal Lake Evans stands out in the female cast as birthday girl Olivia, but Amber Janea is also a highlight as Sarah. On the other side of the gender spectrum, John Bucy stands out as a kick-axx ex-Marine. Regrettably, the two most interesting characters are removed in the second half, and the proceedings start to become tedious. Easily 15 minutes of filler could’ve been cut for a more streamlined experience. The ambiguous climax doesn’t help. Yet I did like the theory postulated by one of the characters that it’s all an elaborate prank. Is it? I’ll leave that for you to discover. It runs 1 hour, 49 minutes, and was shot in Kingston, New York, which is on the west side of the Hudson River, 100 miles north of Manhattan. GRADE: B-

Way Too Much Screaming/Shouting.

This could have been so much better. It's your typical group of friends on a trip storyline but the premise and what happens to them, had it been handled properly, could have created a genuinely creepy story.Unfortunately the cast of characters are such a loud, brash, dumb and unlikeable bunch of stereotypes that you just don't care what happens to them.As for the amount of screaming and shouting, it was incessant. 80% of the film sounded like white noise because of it. Someone dragging their nails down a blackboard would have been more pleasant. As each person was, predictably, picked off it was a relief because there was one less unlikeable person screaming.

Don't Turn On This Movie

A group of obnoxious absolute idiots set out on a road trip in which nothing interesting happens for the first hour. A gaggle of bad actors pretending to be college students screech inauthentic pablum at each other, run afoul of some cartoon hillbillies, and generally make the stupidest possible decisions in any given situation. The characters are college students as college students would be envisaged and written by a 50-year-virgin who had gone to college but who never once interacted socially with anyone. Anyway, some ridiculous and not-at-all-scary shenanigans happen and yada, yada, yada I just kept hoping every character would die already so this steaming puddle of loose donkey excrement would finally end.
