She Walks the Woods (2019)

Dennis, Brad and Mike have a channel called Ultimate Survival where they go exploring and gives tips on camping and survival skills. They’re getting ready to shoot their latest video, where their home base will be a small cabin deep in the woods.  

Accompanying them is Hope, who went to film school with Dennis and whose parents own the cabin.  Dennis and Mike admonish Brad to be on his best behavior once they pick up Hope because Brad is kind of a pig.

The cabin turn out to be tiny and off the grid up in the mountains.  Behind it up the hill are remnants of a tipi and an old VW bus. People used to live in both.  Hope says the cabin was rented out, but the people staying there disappeared a few months ago and left all their stuff behind. They owe her parents money but the tenants can’t be found anywhere.  None of them are concerned, consider this alarming, or question why Hope’s parents didn’t report them missing since they could have been the victim of a crime.

The tipi is torn apart and I believe Hope said the person in the van vanished one day as well.  None of this stops them from traipsing off into the woods the next day with a plan to camp in the wilderness. And from the beginning of the movie, we know more than one thousand people go missing in national parks every year and there is something on this mountain that’s killing people. 

Yet another found footage movie where not much happens and someone has a light on in the dark while trying to hide.

Cringe inducing dialogue

Just a friend, huh? You sure you didn’t bang her back in the day?

Where are we picking up this chick?

It’s completely off the grid. So there’s no electricity, no power, no running water and no cell service.
