Gave roughly a 1% fuck about the characters

Gave roughly a 1% fuck about the characters, which is more than can be said for the majority of the movies I've seen in the past couple of days. Still pretty awful though, you're better off reading the actual creepypasta it's based on. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

Disappointing, dull and overall bland creature feature

Heading out on a camping trip, a group of students researching a local internet legend finds themselves trapped in a nightmare as the creature they're supposedly hunting is real and begins stalking them through the area, forcing the group to band together in order to survive the trip.

This here wasn't all that great of a creature feature. One of the main issues here is the fact that barely anything at all actually happens for large portions of the film's running time. This one takes way too long to get the group out to the grounds where the creature supposedly lurks as the continued usage of them arguing over what they plan to do on the trip or whether or not they're personal conflicts start getting involved in their mission which isn't in the slightest bit interesting. That it gets further interrupted by the need for the telling of ghost stories out in the middle of their camp really does manage to throw another big dull spot in the middle of the film that holds back it's pacing, and with the initial story being told at the hunters' lodge that takes forever to fully get spelled out for the others that drags out the tempo even more. This overall lack of action manages to reduce the amount of screentime the titular creature receives which manages to make it seem all the less frightening because it's not on-screen often enough to make an impression. There are some fine points on display because of the creature, but the film never gets the chance to really explore it due to the lack of screentime it gives to the monster which is quite short and barely worthwhile here as there are so many more scenes featuring them interacting with each other even after the film decides to announce the creatures' presence so early on here with an attack quite early on. That factor just makes the pacing that much more obvious here with it being obvious the creatures' out there from the beginning yet never delving into exploiting that factor as often as it could've which really does lower this one significantly. Coupled with a cheap-looking monster costume that heightens the low-budget experience, this one has a few problems that don't hold off its positives. There's not a whole lot to like here, which mainly comes from the setup of the creature and its fine backstory. The usage of the internet legend as a basis for the creature isn't a bad start, but it's not as well-known as other creatures which give it a unique and creative feeling that's explored here. As well, there's also the few rather fine action scenes here that get quite enjoyable, from the initial encounter in the campsite to the house encounters that are somewhat thrilling for their sense of gore and frenetic activity throughout which does make this enjoyable. Overall, though, it's not all that great.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
