Devon L @RT93453670 14h Michelle Schumacher as Writer and Director wanted to send the message (empty virtue signal) to Hollywood that "white equals either completely incompetent or highly dangerous for no discernible reason, and non-white equals good person," as if nobody has ever thought of that, and it isn't prevalent in all mainstream garbage these days. She used her husband (JK Simmons) to send that empty virtue signal. A girl being chased by a killer runs into the woods, and immediately does the "Which way do I go after turning around in circles 18 times for absolutely no reason" trope. They couldn't even do a good job of pandering. The killer, girl, and mom all use an app that tracks where the family's phones are. "Hey police, this is where the killer is" would have ended this movie. They made the non-white characters look even dumber than the white ones while trying to pander. Often turns out that way.

I really wanted to like it but a movie shouldn't make you angry because of how dumb the characters are and illogical the thought processes are. Definitely not a thriller in any sense of the word. Like who is running from a killer and stops to wash their arm in the creek or calls someone on the phone, so the killer can hear their voice. And what group of people go into the woods at night with no weapons when there's an armed gunman hunting their friend. Horrible.

The theme and setting works well plus having a good cast but when you're trying to make it a suspense movie having a killer kill random people off but make it in the dumbest ways possible is a pain, half of them didn't even move whenever he killed them! And how was he able to find the girl inside the forest??? Like how does that work. The only part the I genuinely like from the movie was when they killed him which was near the end! And this is what my dad said about this movie Pelicula. Fea See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 27 What were you thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Kyle M @RT77296778 03/16/2025 A decent, vulnerably gazed thriller without a tense grip amid minimally bland execution, with an underlying cautious edge how a temperamental trigger could turn a man onto a murderous rampage. (B-) See more Robert J @Robbob67 02/09/2025 JK played again another great bad guy psycho. Alot of the scenes were more life like than most talking to his victims an getting off to pictures on phone ect ... Other parts like the deputy's really weren't in JK level. Actually played like 2 different movies. Cop stuff b rated at best. JK an Miranda Star quality definitely worth a watch If only to see JK at his best. Like I said some really quality scenes.
