USA 2011
Ryan (the film's writer Ryan
McCoy) is shooting a documentary on best friend Brett's
(Brett Rosenberg, FEAR OF FLYING) first camping
experience. Along for the trip are Ryan's girlfriend Abby
(Abigail Richie, KNOCK KNOCK KILLERS) and her friend
Ashley (Ashley Bracken). They secure an RV (from a guy who
does porn) and head out into the woods and into a "no
trespassing" area. Brett thinks a "documentary" of him
getting drunk and falling down a lot won't be very
interesting, but Ryan has "a plan." Strange hissing sounds
in the night are not enough to disturb their sub-"Girls Gone
Wild" partying antics, but the broad daylight sighting of a
silhouetted Bigfoot-esque figure in the ravine has Brett and
the girls turning on Ryan (who Brett reveals has some
sociopathic leanings that extend beyond his HDCAM
voyeurism). Ryan thinks - or so he says - that they are
being pranked by some other campers (one backwoods example
of whom dropped by their campfire the night before);
however, when their RV is trashed and one of their number
goes missing, Ryan's "documentary" takes a turn into that
oh-so-familiar "found footage" genre territory... |

This HD-lensed
production probably looks as good as it can on SD-video in
Showbox's single-layer, anamorphic transfer. Since it is a
"found footage" film, there's no scoring, but the 5.1 track
(always an unrealistic aspect of the genre) has better
separation of the surround effects (although the strange noises
should technically meld in more with the ambient sounds). The
2.0 downmix is an acceptable listening option as well. Other
than the film's trailer, there are no film-specific extras
(whether this is due to the distributor not paying for extras,
or the filmmakers trying to create a mystique about the film's
origins is not known at the time). Trailers for other Showbox
releases round out the package. |
