excruciatingly stupid people

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2001)

To entertain myself (it had to come from somewhere) I rooted for (1) the characters to die and (2) anyone involved in adding to the hype of this movie to die, in as painful a way as can be conceptualized.
I want to point out one thing that particularly bothered me about this movie. It is October in Maryland. Thus at this time of year the dark lasts slightly longer than the light. Yet, at some point in the afternoon while it's still light, they sit down to bicker with one another, drained from having walked "16 hours" since that morning's camp. What sloppiness. Moreover, these idiots used no cleverness whatsoever in trying to figure their way out of the forest. I just looked at their deaths as an excellent opportunity to thin the gene pool.
