Andrew and Bob are two GPS hunters who have recently accepted a hunt from the enigmatic fugitive Shephed Loman who's allegedly in possession of two million dollars and before you know it they're deep in the woods (with some friends in tow) in the game. But when the first clue they find is a series of Polaroids of a bound & gagged woman with the words 'don't let me die' as well as coordinates to the next clue, they get an inkling that this 'hunt' will be a bit different. The film starts off well enough. The acting while far from stellar, was perfectly adequate. I found myself interested in the storyline and the film kept my attention. But an ending that comes out of left field and is in one word: Idiotic, coupled with a really stupid coda sadly soured the entire movie for me. Eye Candy: An extremely fleeting and obscured glimpse of Lauren Nuebling topless & some side boob action from Nicola Anderson Eye Candy for the ladies: Paul Proios bares his ass My Grade: D+DVD Extras: Commentary by Director/writer Eric Colley & Producer/writer/actress Hallie Shephard; a 30 minute Making-of; 30 minute 'characters of' featurette; stunts featurette (19 minutes); a short 3 minute Anatomy of a scene; post-production (18 & a half min); Bob's 8 and a half min homemade documentary; a making-of "mistaken" (Colley's previous short film) featurette; a segment on the GPS internet game & a code for said game (speaking of there's another code at the tail-end of the film's credits)

I saw this in Pasadena and didn't know what to expect. After the screening I found the filmmakers and talked to them about their experience and what they had to do to get their film made. They were very smart and engaging people who were thrilled that they had won an award for their efforts. I believe it was for best action film in the festival. After speaking to the filmmakers, I realized what a daunting task it was for them to shoot this film on such a small budget and was wholly impressed with what they accomplished. It was an entertaining thriller that had me guessing till the very end. I enjoyed it very much and personally would like to see these young filmmakers get another chance to bring another story to the screen. Well Done!

OK, so this is my first movie review on IMDb. But I felt inclined to go through the time and effort of starting an account to write this review. If for nothing else than simply to warn you of the mistake that I made over the last 98 minutes in the hopes that you will learn from my experience. You see, I actually like to look for the silver lining on everything in life. There was no silver lining here. Or perhaps, on second thought, maybe there was... This was indeed a very suspenseful film. However, this suspense was not created by the acting, which was no doubt some of the worst I've ever seen. Nor was the suspense on account of the story. Weak, predictable, and absolutely terrible. Was it the writing???... Well let's just say the dialogue in the film reminded me of something that would have come from the worst of writers in a high school creative writing course who didn't want to be there, but was simply going through the motions to fill a couple credits.So, back on track here... The only reason I didn't turn this movie off halfway through? I was in total suspense, edge of my seat suspense really! I could not wait! I was dying to see how bad a movie could actually get, and I was not left disappointed. This movies creators did one of the finest jobs ever of creating one of the worst written, worst acted, and poorly executed movies and endings ever!! Job well done on a ridiculous waste of time and money!!!

This is much more than just another bad 'teen-in-the-woods' cliché-ridden horror flick. This rubbish is absolutely miserable to watch, and everyone involved should be embarrassed for being part of this lame production.The premise of going on a scavenger hunt using GPS devices where the hunters become the hunted is weak. For a thriller/horror flick there's no the sense of fear or apprehension; even the characters involved don't seem concerned that they're going to die.When initially faced with danger they trivialize it and withhold information from each other. One character standing guard at night doesn't bother screaming to alert the others while he is being chased down and killed, and another character after running for her life poses in the doorway for the killer to come up behind her. And, the final scene where the killer scurries up the stairs to get the chick in the bathtub while the guy is distracted by answering the doorbell, please! You can see these plot turns way ahead of time.These characters repeatedly do dumb things and talk like idiots. To explain everything to the viewers who've lost interest the crazy chick and the remaining survivors engage in an inane conversation toward the end; it's pathetic. I've seen puppets with people's hands up their butts give more convincing performances.The dialogue, direction and acting are all very bad, but the music was especially nasty. Someone involved with this production must have been sleeping with the band, or vice versa.Obviously I'm not one of the family or friends that wrote the ridiculously over-hyped reviews that falsely praise this flick as worthy of watching.It's horrible; avoid it!
