About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, wilderness survival horror with jump scares and harsh violence in the vein of Wolf Creek; Not for you if slow builds, cliché locals, or animal cruelty are dealbreakers.
Pros: creepy backwoods atmosphere; some strong scares; solid survival tension | Cons: slow first half; thin character choices; uneven pacing
