★☆☆☆☆
The Best Part of This Movie Are the Opening Credits.
Here's what you figure out in the first ten minutes:
• All these people hate each other.
• You want them all to die. Like, right now, before they even carve the turkey.
• The cameraman/woman has severe ADD.
• The editor is an epileptic.
It probably would have been better to market this as a documentary on Millennials, because their ability to deal with any crises that can't be solved with a smart phone is nil. A girl actually forgets how to take a shower. She's got blood on her face, and she never even tries to wipe it off. In the shower. She's in the shower. Where you can just stick your face under the hot running water.
It's hard to say whether the male characters or the female characters are more annoying. But, you know how every group you've ever been a part of always has that one girl in it who overreacts to everything? Like, she's convinced none of you are going to live through having a flat tire, even though you're in a Firestone parking lot at twelve noon on National Tire Day. She talks so fast it bends the space/time continuum, and her voice is two octaves above feedback? (And she's a vegan).
That's every girl in the film. For the entire film. It's like being trapped in a jar full of mentally unstable fireflies.
The guys aren't any better. They're all just major AHs. To each other, to each other's partners, to their own partners. And not to leave them out of the tire scenario: I'd hope they have roadside assistance, and I hope it's OnStar, because dialing AAA would pose a serious challenge for these mooks. I'm not so sure pushing a button wouldn't be a herculean task for them either.
I estimate there are something like 8.6 million horror movies you can watch involving cabins. You can safely skip this one.
