I mean come on! Weeks wandering through the wilderness and her dress wasn't even the slightest bit dirty. I'll give it one star because 1. I like nature 2. She has nice teeth

I watched this movie on New Years day. I was in horizontal hangover mode and vowed to not leave the couch all day. I wasted many youthful hours playing the video game "the Oregon trail" in the 90's and chose this movie thinking it would be exciting, adventurous and full of action.wrong. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. just a terrified girl that walks around in a flat part of the woods for the entirety of the movie, looking terrified. About 45 minutes into the movie I regretted my decision but could not find the remote within reaching distance. I was so terribly hungover and in DGAF mode that I just lied there and continued to suffer through watching that chick continuously stop to open her suitcase, take things out, put things back in, and walk 3 more feet, stop, open the suitcase, take things out, put things back in, run a few more feet.It's a low budget film so I'll forgive the zippers on the boots and dress. But I can't forgive the fact she's wearing a dress as thin as a sheet but doesn't freeze to death like all the other rando white dead people that she keeps stumbling upon. I also found it hard to believe a bunch of Indians would attack a covered wagon and not completely pillage through the belongings inside. the end of the movie was the worst of all, I won't give away any spoilers but I def thought to myself "wtf" as the end credits began. If I had had any brain cells left that day I wouldn't have been able to sit through this, but because I was basically a pile of mush from a boozed-filled night of NYE fun, and too lazy to look for the remote in the couch cushions, I endured this 90 minute marathon of lameness.

This is the dullest movie I've ever seen. I kept waiting for some action, some plot, something to keep my interest. What a complete waste of time. The 5 minutes with the stupid music thinking someone was out in the woods and...thennnn.. it was a raccoon???? Really? Worst movie I've ever seen... The fact that this woman can't even light a fire, can't feed herself.,How in heaven's name was she supposed to move out west. You know they had to at least know that in those times unless you were wealthy with servants. So unrealistic. They keep wanting me to write more... I don't have anything else to say about this movie. I want to save anyone from wasting their time on this. Can this be enough text..?

I've read all the reviews pointing to the obvious problems with zippers, sweating, costumes, etc.... and I noticed that too but I think it is short-sighted not to point out the things that worked in this movie. This was the director's first film on a very, very small budget and I think he accomplished some very effective scenes. The attack scene was pure genius because it creates terror with no extra expense using a bunch of actors, etc.. The viewer experiences it completely from the woman's point of view. The lead actress is excellent and well directed! I also thought the camera movement around the woman in the woods was excellent and created genuine suspense. Making films is extremely difficult and to just pick away at all the details of sweating, zippers and undergarments, and the fact she never wears a coat is all legit but stops short of the redeeming qualities of this film. In the Coen brothers' re-make of "True Grit" the girl is completely dry after riding her horse across a river! And that's the very well-financed, acclaimed Coen brothers! This film maker has genuine potential and should be encouraged to make more films.
