Directors Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson show bursts of proficiency, with drone shots of metallic-looking glades and interesting tilt-shift effects for the plane crash. But they are alongside some of the most laughable practical effects imaginable.

Rated: 2/5

An incoherent mess, its characters are unappealing and it's humorless.

Fans of croc and ‘gator flicks could do a lot worse, admittedly, but the downsides here are hard to overlook.

Just another B movie. I had looked forward to it, but the story telling was boring the action was a let down. I made mistake of buying this film for $15, do yourself a favor and wait a few weeks, maybe watch it when included in your streaming app. I recommend you pass on this film.

Had to make an account just to write this, but what’s an ass movie. Acting was horrible, and the entire plot was written by a 5 year old. For example, plane crashes in the swamp, and 15mins later one of the girls first thought is to pick up an egg and carry it around the entire time. I mean cmon and once they get into the abandoned building they instantly find working flashlights. Also what was with the background story with the brother dying like why even put that in litterally made 0 sense. They just don’t make movies like they used too.
