Their friend Erin comes along and says she’ll play the part of the non-believer, letting us know that these idiots don’t seem to understand the documentary genre. The three know next to nothing about this legend and haven’t bothered to research it.
Jess complains it took four hours to drive to the location, but since we have no idea how many miles they drove, we don’t know if it’s a reasonable time. While Erin’s brought three suitcases for their weekend trip, she’s neglected to bring anything appropriate for hiking. They park their camper at some random clearing near the woods and start to wander around.
Jess and Erin are abnormally scared of everything. They scream when they find a noose in a hollow tree. They scream when they hear noises. And I don’t just mean a quick scream of shock, but like someone is trying to murder them.
They see graffiti and declare it spooky, (it isn’t). They decide the graffiti must be a memorial and mention how creepy it is that it’s in the middle of nowhere. The graffiti is on a steel structure and that is exactly what people would gravitate to in the woods. Also do they not understand what tagging is? This would be the perfect place for teenagers to hang out.
This is another one of those movies where people go somewhere to do an investigation, yet when one of the group sees or hears something odd, the others totally dismiss them. Oh those noises you heard? We were outside so it must have been us. Oh that creepy face you saw looking in the windows? You must have imagined it. I hate these characters.
Ridiculous dialogue
I’m here in the Rootwood forest with Erin, Jess and myself.
