Instinctively directed by Jack Heller with skill and flair, this is an absorbing science fiction film that you can't put down. The script is smart and large, the production values are nothing less than good at all times. A beautifully presented tale of people lost in the woods and striving to make sense of a mystery situation of unbearable tenseness. The young actors are superb and obvious is the fact they are up and coming in the truest sense of the description. Challenge anyone to stop watching this fabulous film after they have started and you will be confronted with kudos. For this is cinema as it is meant to be photographed and drama of the highest form.

I didn't expect much from this film and knew nothing about it except for the little move blurb. It was probably better that way because it blew me away. It had a awesome plot that kept you thinking the whole way through. I was expecting cabin in the woods for the first 20 minutes or so...but you soon learn into the movie that its much more than that. The actors were a little cheesy at first only because you were expecting a cheesy horror film but that changes as you keep watching. I don't want t give away any spoilers so just go see it. Entertaining and keeps you thinking unlike most movies out there.

I watched this movie by accident on the Chiller cable channel. Yeah, with the awful, LONG commercials every 10 or so minutes. With a lesser movie, those commercials would have driven me away from watching more than just a couple minutes. But I braved those commercials because I was really intrigued with the plot and the characters.Funny that at least one other reviewer mentioned The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, because that is EXACTLY what I thought while watching. There was no gore to speak of, and no frights in the conventional sense. It just drew me in and made me want to watch it until the end.The one complaint I have that prevented me from rating this movie higher is all the gratuitous and rather tedious chase scenes through the woods. That was a whole LOT of filler, in my opinion. 15 minutes, at least, could easily have been trimmed from this movie and it would have made for a tighter, more interesting experience for the viewer. But then, maybe the result would not have been long enough for a "feature film." Still, I would recommend this movie for anyone who wants something fun, intriguing, and thought-provoking.

I got this movie from Netflix not knowing what to expect, and, boy, did it surprise me! It was one of those movies that works well-make that brilliantly-with a limited cast and setting and an eerie plot. It starts off with Sara Paxton robbing a convenience store. She winds up at a cabin in the middle of the woods with two strangers. They all have no explanation as to why they are there with rational explanations as to HOW. Why they are there is unraveled throughout the course of the movie. They cannot escape as each person seems strange to each other. Everything is revealed in clues, premonitions, and dialogue (sometimes humorously!) along the way as the creepy and scary atmosphere persists. The acting and writing were all great in this gem-I was very glad I got this. It was far from a classic but not bad either.** 1/2 out of ****
