About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, tense backwoods survival thriller with a resilient lead and uneasy alliances; Not for you if you hate predictable setups or characters making risky decisions, like in The Wall.

Pros: tense survival setup; strong lead performance; scenic rural backdrop | Cons: familiar story beats; frustrating choices at times; ending feels rushed
