   A bunch of film extra's                          are tired of doing the same old thing and                          really want to get into the acting and                          film business side of things so they go                          to an isolated cabin in the woods down at                          Big Bear, California to start and write                          their own project. However, not everyone                          is on the same page as they seem to slack                          off and wanting to party except for a                          fellow named Matt (Ross Partridge) who                          seems very passionate about the project.He wants to write a story of a killer who                          stalks and torments people but suddenly                          his story seems to come true as they                          encounter someone like that and discovers                          that their vehicle is torn up and the                          dirt road leads to nowhere for miles and                          miles.
 
   This this piece in a Blair                          Witch type of style with the                          camera jiggling and moving but yet no one                          is supposed to be with them filming it                          since it was meant to look more creepy                          that someone is out there.We have a good moment with Matt  trying to talk to his                          other cast who are wannabe filmmakers on                          an idea to write the first plot of their                          script and we have Chad  goofing                          off by strumming on his accoustic guitar                          not taking anything seriously and the                          same with Michelle  just                          complaining that she's tired which all                          looked real on how flakey people start                          off when they don't have any ideas yet.
 There's another good moment with                          the bagheaded person entering a room with Michelle  lying in bed and then                          goofing off in front of him thinking it's                          her boyfriend and then getting shocked                          thinking it's someone else.
 Another  a good moment on the character Catherine  lying down sleeping with Michelle  looking up over her wearing a sack and                          trying to scare her with a good                          argumentive moment.
 We have a good intense moment with the                          four of them outside and discussing about                          someone out in the woods which looked                          very effective.
 There's a good moment with Matt  looking around the house and realising                          that he's by himself and the other three                          taking him by surprise wearing sacks over                          their heads and scaring him which truly                          makes you jump.
 We see the four getting spooked at night                          with a distant shot on the bagheaded person  watching them near the woods and Chad  shouting to him that he's on private                          property and to leave. There's also a                          good moment with him bringing                          a bat and trying to charge at this bagheaded fellow and                          this maniac takes out a knife swinging it and                          then all of them run inside and try to                          get away from him as the story here is very suspenseful along with                          them trying to lock themselves in the                          house.
 We spot many good shots on the four of                          them walking a long dirt road. Next we spot                          a good close up shot on the bagheaded person moving in for the kill towards Matt                          and having the others screaming and                          running away.
 Bottom line is that This was a film                          which seemed a like a bit of a tribute to                          those retro horror flicks like Blair                          Witch Project, Friday the 13th Part 2 and April                          Fools Day showing the odd                          similar elements on all of them. It does                          seem creepy and mysterious as you wonder                          who is watching these people up at the                          cabin.
 The film looks believeable with wannabe                          filmmakers trying to write a script but                          getting flakey about it all and mostly                          wanting to party all the time which can                          relate to your frusterations of something                          you wanted to do so badly but no one took                          you seriously and weren't on the same                          page.                          Then suddenly you're living a horror film                          with a killer outside watching you and                          your vehicle is trashed having nowhere to                          go.
 The ending is a bit of a disappointment                          though in which you wonder if this was                          actually a horror film or not. It's very                          mysterious watching the film as a horror                          film should be that way making it very                          scary.
 
 The acting is very well done as                          lead actor Ross Partridge (Matt) knew                          his stuff well as a passionate wannabe                          filmmaker showing a good serious no                          bullshit attitude to his part and was                          very strong with his words and serious                          expressions too.Steve Zissis (Chad) really brought his role                          to life as a flakey type of a douchebag                          in the film and not taking anything                          seriously. He reminds me of people I knew                          who never got stuff done and just seeing                          him on screen he made his point across                          very well. He shows good energy while calling out to the maniac as well as showing good action blocking by charging forward with a weapon as his performance here looks very effective. He also does well acting exhausted and out of it by running away from the killer too.
 Greta Gerwig (Michelle) really looked like a                          drunken type who was exptremely lazy and                          out of it. You kinda wonder if she was                          really like that she performed this part                          very well. There's a good moment on her going outside to throw up and then she                          looks around nervously and then shocked                          by what she sees outside which looked                          well done. She also does well with her                          anxious reactions and frightening actions                          to top it all off.  We have a                          very good moment with her getting anxious                          towards the main actor                          while she asks him about what she saw.
 Elise Muller (Catherine) has the beautiful looks                          and knew how to act persistent and                          annoying in which she was meant to for                          her character and does just as well as                          the rest of the cast bringing on her                          energy.
 
 There's two people who                          strip naked on an indie film.Greta Gerwig takes off her top lying                          on her bed fully barebreasted trying to flirt with the bagheaded man.
 
 We have the odd accoustic                          guitar strumming during a scene where the                          cast is swimming in a lake as well as                          walking on the long dirt road trying to                          get help but nothing much composed here                          at all.                 |
