Rating: 6/10 (6 August 1999)

It's like an internet stock: it was hyped on the internet, soared briefly after its IPO (sorry, its premiere) and is destined to sink toward oblivion. The idea is very clever; but the realization is mostly a bunch of X-Gens whining over who got them lost in the woods and how they're going to get the equipment back to the rental store. Over and over again one keeps thinking: they're lost, they're hungry, they're scared; why do they keep the cameras running? The answer of course is that there wouldn't be a film without it. I'd rank this a lot lower except that it does have the one great virtue of a mediocre ultra-low budget film--audacity. Some thirty-five years ago, some teenage friends of mine set out to make an 8mm version of the Ten Commandments; the only scene they got on film was the un-parting of the Red Sea. It was awful. It had guts. I give points for guts.
