4 stars for the forest views
Pure and utter hokum. Made no real sense. Nothing really explained. Too much wrong with it. Too many coincidences. Characters flawed to the point of not being believable. Cine was good. Acting not bad. Comedy didn't work. However after saying all that a sequel after the aliens invade and replicate themselves would be a great comedy. The human race with its physical and mental instabilities would make the replicants suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, MND etc. Young horny teenager replicants. The possibilities are endless. I don't think that's what the writers and director had in mind though. I think their work was to be taken seriously. - aronharde - 8 March 2024
Great watch but lost me at the reveal
After just having watched God is a Bullet starring Maika Monroe I thought it would be a great idea to watch this 2022 horror movie starring her as well. The premise seemed interesting and just right up my alley, so I gave it a try.
It follows this dynamic duo of a couple portrayed by Jake Lacy and Maika Monroe, who are backpacking through the Pacific Northwest. The movie starts off fairly slow but it's a joy to watch these two on screen together. Their relationsship is portrayed realistic and slightly flawed. The movie kept a mysterious and eerie feeling and there are some really great and creative cinematic shots of the nature. Then there comes a point where my heart literally stood still and that's where the movie makes a turn.
Sadly I have to say that from this moment on the movie slightly lost me and I feel like viewers will either feel the same or it will be this point where their watching experience will improve. For me the movie lost its scary and eerie feeling of a mysterious threat and went too much onto the humorous side. Apart from that the performances were pretty good and the overall premise was interesting, though not completely original. Anyway that being said it was still a great watching experience and I definitely recommend this movie. [6,3/10]
