Horror cinema presents yet another persuasive reason why you should never go camping, with this gory thriller that proves no good can come from walking in the woods, seeking pretty hilltop views or communing with nature in any way.

The attractive and therefore doomed couple who learn this lesson the hard way are Macy (up and coming scream queen Fabianne Therese) and Chase (Seann William Scott, for ever Stifler from American Pie). As the story begins, Chase is planning to propose to Macy, and intends to pop the question at the top of a mountain after a hike, because he is a fool who has clearly never seen a horror film. But Macy has doubts about whether she is ready to become a full-on stepmother to Chase’s daughter Evy (Eve Blackhurst, possibly related to the film’s writer-director Rod Blackhurst).
