Christian C Within about 30 minutes, you’ll probably know if this movie is over your head. If you’re the type of viewer who wants labels like “It’s an alien! It takes you to another dimension on its ship!” you’ll probably get why the audience score is so much lower than the professional score. If you get just how ham-fisted and lazy an explanation for everything in a supernatural mystery/horror film can seem, then you might get why so many critics who see exponentially more movies than the average person enjoyed it so much more. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Jerod S It had potential - and was well acted. But the national parks "taking people" and it being a big park ranger cover-up just kinda got weird. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Jenny S I honestly dont know what to say. Park ranger who lost her sister and the forest is taking people........back packers etc say 'are you real' like their possesed. The ending is rubbish. Don't watch. Worse film I'm ever watched Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Brian M Razor-thin plot that’s dull as a butter knife. Lots of shots of trees with spooky music playing. About halfway through, the movie throws everything but the kitchen sink at audiences in an attempt at representing the protagonist’s disorientation, but none of the bizarre occurrences (none of which is truly that bizarre) really register because none are set up in any meaningful way. What would be startling events are instead merely random because there’s no spacing, no setup. Disorientation is fine, as long as it’s not there to compensate for a lack of story. The flashbacks to the protagonist’s childhood are too vague to hold any meaning for viewers and the protagonist herself just isn’t interesting enough for me to care. I thought the lead actress was decent in the role considering it had very little to offer. The movie actually has moments that could serve as interesting plot twists, but the script is so eager to hit readers with another random hallucination that they end up falling flat. Despite the interesting premise it became clear early on that the direction was uninspired when it goes into an extended pan of upside-down forests; the whole upside-down shot has become pretty hackneyed in contemporary horror films. Quite the pedestrian suspense film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Jon H Big disparity between the critic and audience score. Believe me, go with the audience score. This film is not good, to the point it borders on tedious. Honestly, pulling nostril hairs for 90 minutes would be less painful and preferable to having to sit through this again. I’ll give it a generous one star because at least it’s not a sequel or a reboot, but it becomes a complete chore trying to make it to the end. Oh and who on earth thought that Asian lady could act? Wow, she should make a film with Tommy Wiseau. This film thinks it’s something amazing, but the reality is quite the opposite. It’s abysmal. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Trina C Decent watch. Pacing is TERRIBLE. There's too many long, drawn out scenes of nothing. No replay value Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
