Notes

My quick rating - 2.0/10 Awful. Just awful. I don’t know what’s worse—the story, the acting, or the fact that someone thought this was worth making. The premise? A witty (debatable) teen drags his friends into the woods on a treasure hunt despite warnings from his telepathic sister. Naturally, they get lost and find themselves hunted by a cannibalistic killer. Sounds promising, right? Yeah, not even close.

The entire movie is filled with painfully dumb moments, but one scene in particular stands out: a character struggling to climb out of a shallow hole, using a stick, as if it’s some insurmountable pit of doom. Just climb up the damn dirt mound! That moment alone encapsulates the level of intelligence this movie operates on.
The acting? Abysmal. The story? Even worse. This is the kind of zero-budget, no-effort filmmaking that gives indie horror a bad name. No scares, no tension, and certainly no inventive kills—hell, barely any kills at all. It’s a horror movie that forgets to be horrifying. Or entertaining.

The only reason this isn't scraping the bottom of my rating scale is Jessica Frew. She’s easily the best part of the film, delivering a performance that’s at least watchable and serving as a much-needed representation of actors with disabilities. She deserves way better than this and alone boosts this by 1 point. Yes, that is how bad this flick is.

My tagline exists for movies like Crispy—I sat through this 76-minute disaster so you don’t have to. I better stop writing now before I just get mean, so do yourself a favor and skip it.
