So-so

Rating: 6/10 (26 July 1999)

No Boy Scout (or Girl Scout) can take this film seriously. The basic premise of not being able to get out of the woods is wholly inconceivable to anyone who has enjoyed the benefits and perqs of being a kid and growing up in the Midwest or South. To anyone not so privileged, the question might be, "Why didn't they take their cell phones?"
Unsettling (and that is largely due to jittery camera work) but insufficiently horrific for my taste. A disappointment.
