5/10
Well here's what I think.

Honestly, I think this movie deserves a good solid 5. In a world where AMAZING movies rank between 8-10, this one falls into this area. So compared to amazing..this movie is...well it's not bad. It's kinda good even. Here's my reasons why.

This movie comes off as very original. I can honestly say I had no clue what was going on, and I couldn't guess what was going to happen next.

This is not a "horror" film. To be honest I'm not sure what genre this movie falls into. I suppose it falls a bit into the same category as movies like "The Cabin" or "Shrooms". It has horror elements to it. It has suspense. It has gore. It has at times cheesy dialog. It also has the typical badass hot chick that tend to show up in these types of movies.

The plot is as follows. A group of friends, some of which have served in the forces, and one of said friends girlfriends go on a hunting trip at one of their deceased uncles cabins. They are there to hunt wild bore. In the local area there are "clans" of hills people, who hunt and for the most part live off the land. Normally you'd think they would be the main antagonist from the get go, but you'd be wrong. They actually help the "friends" on their hunting trip.

While hunting, they run into many obstacles, including pot fields, crazy hippys, and insane hill people out for murder.

Overall this was a fun watch. The acting is pretty bad sometimes, some of the plot points aren't points at all, some characters make horrible decisions, and some things are left completely unresolved. Also there's some weird person just staring at you in the end. I still have no idea what that was about.

In the end I'd say give it a watch. It's a fun and crazy film. Don't expect too much and you'll enjoy it.
