wolfnapper They put the same girl (Ruth) in charge of watching over the "killer" TWICE while the other two went off to chat/make out? Ruth, who was dumb enough to be tricked into actually untying the hands of the prisoner and was about to do some spit-swapping with the guy? I mean, at that point, my patience for these girls just wore out. Yes, they're young and lack any wisdom, but it gets to a point where credibility is strained so badly you just can't root for them any more. At that point, I was so fed up with their stupidity I began cheering for Morrison's character to just turn out to be a real killer and start firing away with his shotgun. Or worse. The laws of Darwinism should apply here in full measure.The writing on this terrible movie was just abysmal. I don't fault the actors involved as they did their jobs competently, even the directing seemed to be fine. It's the writing that was just so poor, it undid everything else about this movie. I never developed one iota of sympathy for the three protagonists and yet oddly enough from the moment he first appears, Morrison's character is far more identifiable and easier to empathize with. And he simply isn't the complete idiot the other three are, which has the most to do with it probably.
x_specter_x If you, like me, don't like movies where the characters make every stupid decision you can think of... this movie is not for you.The drama is built on the young girls extremely stupid and completely unrealistic decision.If you want to watch a great thriller about women in a cabin in the woods, watch the Descent. The acting in the movie is actually pretty good. The same for the dialog. It's just that all of their problems could have easily been avoided with just the slightest use of common sense. Instead of tense moments, they are frustrating.
Huffer8 Caught this one during a one-week run at a Denver theater. Although I initially was intrigued by a movie filmed in my home state, WSFG actually was an accomplished film for reasons other than its location. Three girlfriends head up to a family cabin for a post-high-school-pre-college getaway (a tradition many of us, including myself, participated in). As the three do some hiking, sunbathing (this part may give some older viewers an uncomfortable, dirty-old-man vibe), drinking and pot-smoking, divisions between the three characters are revealed, and gradually go from subtle to tense. Things really get complicated when the stoned girls begin to hear noises outside the cabin. Just when it looks like WSFG may be the kind of McSlasher that studios churn out every other week, the story gets deeper as the mysterious stranger in the woods is revealed to be a sad-sack middle-aged guy who has been squatting in the cabin. As the night progresses, the characters' motives are revealed, and may just surprise the viewer. WSFG sets itself apart from the aforementioned generic slashers because the filmmakers understand that, if properly handled, a tense dialogue can be more jarring than a nubile teenybopper running from a maniac. In this movie, characters are developed and real, as it is revealed that each of the girls has her own issue to confront, scary man in the woods or not. Distribution for WSFG is precarious. If you happen to get the chance, however it may come, to see this little picture, fans of suspense movies likely will be taken by this stronger-than-usual offering. P.S. I have no connection to the filmmakers, BTW. - JF
reviewrrr Really enjoyed this one. Its hard to find a new angle on teens in trouble, but they've done it for sure. Here we have three teens going out for the weekend to a remote cabin for a little girl time before they split for college or where ever. As can happen, they work themselves into knots (dark woods freak-out) and you take the ride with them. I kept thinking as I was watching this film...This is okay. The situation is still slightly controllable...oops. Okay. I can deal with this. I'll just...oops. Okay. Not so bad yet....The perfect example of 'creating your own problems' - what teens do so well. And the acting. These three were perfectly casted. Isaw this as the late show at San Jose's Cinequest Film Festival this year. I hope that it gets wider distribution. It's completely edited and packaged. I can't think of anything they can improve upon with this.
