1. Could they not leave in the car? I felt like the boundary was implied, but maybe I missed it? 2. Who did they rent from? Do they not check the house? 3. Do they not have family? Other friends that would look for them? 4. Who's paying for the water and electric? 5. If you don't want the creepy ginger hipster looking at you, don't walk around in a towel with the bathroom door open. 6. Refer to 5, why did no one kill him first? He was annoying. 7. If "Annie" is dead, at least have the actress hold her breath for the close up. I know it's low budget, but try not to take heaving breaths, while playing dead. 8. Why is everyone scared of the man-bun ginger? Refer to 5. He was inquiring if food was organic and locally sourced, chances are you can kick his a$& girls. Cheap shot to the back of the head with an axe, does not a man make. 9. Does the cabin reset, when one person is left? 10. Where did the bodies go?

Poor, poor, poor quality all around. Another amateur low budget that has an interesting idea and no clue what to do with it, but they make a 'movie' anyway, complete with annoying camera filters and horrible soundtrack.

Five boring characters never do anything after they find themselves trapped by a portal outside that keeps zapping them back inside the house. Interesting premise, taken nowhere. Nothing else interesting happens. They don't even try to find out what's causing the phenomenon, or any historical clues about it, or even how to escape. Doesn't even have an ending at all. Not kidding.

I don't know where to start. The plot is a simple one. Five people go to a cabin and find they can't leave. They just physically can't leave. Too bad they couldn't find a decent story to go along with the idea. Days go by. Months go by. I would be constantly freaking out after the first hour. And no one is looking for these people? Are they in a different dimension? Bad things happen. But, you don't care. The blood looks like strawberry jam. I kid you not. When Alice dies, she keeps breathing. I seriously thought she had gone into a coma because I could see her breathing. The ending was absurd. That's it? Just "walk away." Don't see this turkey. It's not even worth watching to laugh at it.

First off, the ending is a total letdown. I thought they'd give us some understanding of why they couldn't get out but oh no, after there's only one person left alive suddenly her cell phone rings and she somehow determines this means she can escape so she walks out successfully and runs on down the road out of sight. The End. WTH??? No explanation whatsoever. Zilch. Nada. I still have no clue why the fridge would refill with the food that was removed from it.

Second, and this is a doozy, somehow the utilities remain on for months and months without ANYONE checking in on them. Someone rented the cabin to them so why didn't they check on them when the rental period was up? And you know that the loved ones and friends of these people who knew where they were going would have already the police, but literally no one comes by.

The stupidity of the final survivor was impressive - she'd gotten into a fight with a woman who is apparently going crazy and has killed a guy, so she rigs a board with sharp objects and places it where people are materialized to when they attempt to leave the area, then goes out of the cabin and is chased by the nutball. After they resolve their differences the survivor somehow doesn't warn the nutball of the danger if she strays out of the area, so the next morning that's exactly what happens before she can stop her.

I will say this - I watched the whole thing because the premise was interesting and I wanted the mystery to be solved but the execution left a lot to be desired, there were too many plot holes and the bungled ending has me wishing I had never seen this movie.

Well, I thought I would give this a go. I regret it now. Very average acting, paper thin plot and alot of things that just had me NOT believing this movie. They didn't seem to be that concerned that they were suck in the cabin at all. The larger guy was even happy to be there until he got dead. If you land in the same spot over and over and over again, wouldn't you put a mattress or something there for a softer landing, or is that just a insane person thinking? Camera glare was very annoying and I'm not sure what the purpose of it was. Terrible ending! What was it ? Why were they trapped? Was it aliens? A Russian teleportation zone??? Who knows!!! Very average movie, but still not as bad as "terror at bigfoot pond" Which should be a minus 16!!

*******Warning!! Massive spoilers!!******************************

Found this while browsing through Amazon and thought the premise seemed like a good one. I really enjoyed it, I'm not sure why it's getting so much hate. No, this is not your typical horror/slasher movie with a crazed maniac terrorizing a group of friends. Instead, this is a slow-burn psychological horror that gets inside your head.

The cast is basically a bunch of beginners that don't have much experience, but the most of the conversations seem somewhat natural and how a group of friends would talk to each other. We see each one's descent into a sort of madness that is different for all of them. The kills aren't explicit or gory and bloody, which I think is a turn off for a lot of horror fans who enjoy those types of kills. However, the way they were done was effective. The first one with the axe showed just enough of the guys skull and the blood splatter that you knew what happened without being overly gory. Another great one was when Rachel stabbed Eli because he wouldn't take the sleeping pills. It is shown in an almost dream-like way, with the repeated stabbing/ Rachel saying "Take the pills" this really shows you the headspace Rachel was in at the time. She even says she hadn't slept in a long time up to that point, and it had driven her insane.

Someone mentioned the cinematography and how the movie was filmed. It does seem bizarre when it starts, but it also gives you a sense of their isolation along with how much time has passed. Since there is nothing that says how long they have been there, but at the beginning when they realize they are trapped, they talk about how they don't have enough supplies/toiletries to last very long. When they first get there and they have plenty and you see the full toothpaste tube and toilet paper, then subsequent shots show less and less as more and more time passes. It was sort a cool way to show how long they had been there without actually saying it. This was especially effective with relating to the characters because they didn't really know either. Also, the shots of nature and the trees showed you how isolated they were as well. At one point after they began to figure out they couldn't leave, the camera pulls out from the house to the tops of the trees to give a sense of that isolation as they are deep in the woods. I know many people didn't like the ending because they didn't explain it to you and wrap everything up with a neat little bow. YOU have figure out what was going on and why they were there and being kept there. Obviously someone owns the house and knew what was happening there, at one point Sam finds a bunch of pictures of other guests along with maps of the boundary similar to the one they had made meaning there had others there before that had gone through the same thing. However, it's not explained to the viewer which most psuedo-horror fans won't like because they lack the imagination to figure out for themselves what was happening.

There was also a mention of why they couldn't just take their car, they didn't have it. At the very beginning, when they are driving up, there was a large tree limb across the road so they couldn't drive any farther. They decided to go ahead and unload and walk the rest of the way, planning to come back for it later, but when Mike and Eli went to move it later on is when they discovered the boundary. Sam had gone first, while she was trying to get a signal, then suddenly ended up in the attic. Then when Eli and Mike went to move the car, Mike came running back screaming because Eli disappeared, only for him it also re-emerge into the attic. They couldn't get back to their car since it was on the other side of the boundary.

Keep in mind, this was done with a minuscule budget of $45,000. It relied on the psychological aspects rather than bog it down with CGI and special effects. For a low-budget horror movie, this was a pretty good one. I would definitely recommend it, as long as you know it's not going to explain everything to you and you have to use your own imagination and intelligence to really appreciate it.

Picked at random-ish.. definitely worth one watch.. sure there are some holes, mainly for me is how no one looked behind the bookshelf for months and the lack of panic. I enjoyed the movie though. Anyone have thoughts on how insects/bugs may play into the plot? There are a few random shots of insects in the movie and a few times where the camera angle made it look like the characters were tiny (as insects) walking through blades of grass. And there seemed to be a glare throughout the house where it could have been them being seen through a magnifying glass (like kids do to ants)..

I could spend all day explaining why this film is total garbage but I won't. I will say the story is good but the constant drawn out scenes were way too long and redundant and the movie felt like an overall waste of time.

This one was actaully better than I thought it would be but it fizzles out towards the end and there was no explanation to why they couldn't leave. It started out strong but about halfway through it started fizzling out and left some seriously unanswered questions. Why was the cabin still available after other people had been through the same thing??? Why was this happening in the first place?? How long were they actually there before the last one could leave?? I really had high hopes and don't get me wrong, it was way better than I had hoped but there were still so many unanswered question that I just couldn't look passed them and give it a better rating.
