Trust me, this movie will definitely make you pray all night, for a better movie.
Full Disclaimer: This movie kept me entertained, it was entertaining to watch, even if I had to have some disbelief. Definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
Plot: Two families with different hobbies meet on vacation.
Review: This horror movie has a great number of characters, you just can’t root for. They are all more or less shitty people. We have the dynamic duo of parents that don’t know how to control their children, or their finances. They know things have been tense in the household, so they vacation in a trailer park. With, one bed? They also, report ably went on vacation right after labor day weekend. So, they are missing school for this.
We have a emotionally dysfunctional teenage daughter, that’s too old to know how to behave, but too young to be able to get her fucking crap together. They tried to make a character that was a moody edgy teen, but forgot the reason for why shes like this. Shes just a byproduct of disaster. She literally smokes, while complaining about how shes being treated.
We have a brother that seems like a cool guy. Like the type of person that pretends not to care, even though he does. But, he flicked his sisters cigarette. A lit cigarette. In the middle of a grass field. That level of disregard. For safety. For the environment. He is a public menace. Its no wonder the strangers had enough with them.
That being said, this movie had a great sense of familial bonding. There were two stark differences from a comparative perspective. The main cast was an absolute trainwreck of a family, while the strangers were beyond ideal. Think about everything that makes the perfect family, they have it. The level of teamwork, how they coordinately teleported all over the trailer park. How well they worked together to give them a good scare. How well their outfits matched, and their weapon choices didn’t conflict. Their peak physical prowess. How much outrage they had when they saw one of their own die. Hell they even all shared the same interests. But, don’t get me wrong, there is obviously blaring reasons I couldn’t root for them.
The dad is a terrible driver. He goes so slowly, and plays his music a bit too loud. Its impolite. Not to mention driving INTO trailers, and even into other cars. The mother also just didn’t pull her share of the weight, the daughter and father did all the work. Any family cannot function if theres a slacker in the midst. The daughter, oh my goodness. She just left her friend Tamara out there, in a creepy trailer park. The world may never know if she is ever found.

Favorite Thing: I like the pace of the movie. It kept throwing interesting stuff at us, which helped the movie really feel like there was a sense of urgency. There weren’t a lot of rest spots for us to catch our breathe. I mean, sure, they had to witchcraft up ways for people to move, but it set a nice pace. Too many movies have long slow points where nothing is happening, which for a thriller, can only happen to an extent.
