In fact, I thought the performance from Wrenn Schmidt was pretty frikkin badass. She was what really carried the film. To me she was very convincing and an intriguing presence throughout the film. There were definite flaws in the storyline, but over all I thought it was pretty good.
shareYeah well.. a girl who doesn't like nature. Where exactly did those survival skills come from all of a sudden? You know, hiding in ambush on a branch unnoticed? Ambushing one of the kids in his own hideout?
These things don't just come to you when you're in 'preservation' mode.
It's completely unrealistic. Especially when she still continues to do so many dumb things like have her back turned to the killer just after knocking him down. Another stupid mistake is not disarming a guy immediately after knocking him down. Someone who suddenly can do some badass *beep* should not be making such amateur mistakes.
It's just hard to believe that two nature accustomed hunters were no match for the killer, but some pregnant woman with no nature experience outsmarted and killed all 3. We saw some Rambo style stuff from her, like the flare scene, mixed in with more dumb stuff.
Two of the kids deaths were also a bit questionable. One got hit twice with a crowbar. That might have knocked him out, but not killed him. The other was stabbed in the neck with a bottleneck. That would have hurt, but it wouldn't have led to as much bleeding as shown in the film.
This movie was incredibly tropey, as all movies of this kind are.

No, it really was bad. The script is absolutely objectively bad. You can like it if you really want to, but it was unquestionably a bad movie.
