I may add in spoiler tags with this one but I don't feel anything I've said is really a spoiler. I just don't want to possibly ruin anything for others. Better safe than sorry.
This has a lot of actors in it that I really like, however, it was a hot mess. It's intended to be a mixed-genre - comedy/horror - piece but it fell flat on both parts. I thought the first half started off well enough but once the whole bit with the woods starts it just loses focus. If you're going to make a mixed-genre film then you need to maintain that mix throughout. This felt like the first half was setting us up for a dark British comedy and the second half was just some random slasher flick. I also felt like the last half went rather quickly and not in a good way. It felt like all these rough and tumble, although incredibly stupid, characters we met in the first half suddenly changed into helpless teenage camp counselors.
Overall it wasn't the worst waste of a few hours I've ever watched. I don't think I would recommend it but if you like the genre then have at it.
