Ronnie, Tucker and Derek have been best friends since grade school. They decide to go into the woods to look for any sign of a girl who disappeared. Their plan is to camp in the woods for three days and film themselves.
But we start the movie with a young woman in an asylum. No one knows who she is, and the orderlies are pretty lax since she propositions the guy interviewing her and disrobes. Why do we care about her? Who is interviewing her? Is it relevant that she wants to go to the woods? Why is she sitting in front of drywall? And why does it sound like it’s raining in the room?
Later a second woman in the asylum is interviewed. She has amnesia but they know her name. The nurse discusses her medical condition in an interview. Wouldn’t that violate HIPPA laws? Who is the second interviewer? Is it Tucker or Derek? We never find out.
The parents and younger sister of the missing girl are also interviewed. Do we need to know any of this? Will it help propel the story? Nope, we could have just been told she’s missing. If this is Ronnie interviewing the parents, she is the worst because she keeps interrupting them while they’re answering questions.
Eventually Ronnie, Tucker and Derek drive to the woods and hike till they find a spot to camp. I don’t now why they need to camp here to search for the girl. Weird things start happening and Ronnie screeches a lot. It’s super annoying.
At one point Ronnie gets separated from the others. When they find her, she says she saw a little girl, but no one believes her. They get in an argument and I can’t help thinking all she has to do is show them the footage she shot. But she doesn’t mention it.
And why is it so mind boggling to find names carved into a tree in the woods when there is a dirt road, a path, and we’ve been told kids play in the woods? I carved my name into a tree when I was a kid and if the woods nearby was supposed to be haunted, my friends and I still would have gone into it. Also if that’s so crazy, then why are they camping in the woods for three days?
Ridiculous dialogue
We got two cameras, we got a whole bunch of batteries, and electrical equipment. Everything that we need to document or check out or I guess hunt our findings and see what we come up with.
You passed out and fell on the floor. [They are in the woods. There is no floor].
