Social justice warriors journey to an abandoned campsite in hopes of unveiling a serial killer and exonerating an innocent man on death row. Of course, the problem with finding a real serial killer is that… well, you find a real serial killer. The group of folks working on proof of the man’s innocence are all varying levels of irritating, with unofficial group leader Ana coming off as an unlikable idiot that gets most of her friends killed. What a hero! Glory hog Travis is also on hand to be outright with his detestable traits and just begging to be murdered as soon as humanly possible. It doesn’t take long for the team of people that don’t like each other all that much to start getting their asses killed by the dude rocking goggles, a hoodie and ski mask. It’s the kind of lazy getup you’d find the killer wearing in a 90’s SOV flick. At least it has that going for it. Most of the cast is taken out within minutes which leaves us with plenty of time to spend with Ana and her melodramatic past. About twenty minutes in, I was hoping it was hitting its climax. This thing just goes on forever. Frantic editing, flashbacks from the Rob Zombie school of family dynamics and jump cuts do nothing to elevate the experience and just makes shit more annoying than it needs to be. Some familiar faces pop up so at least boredom gets elevated when Lori Petty (who looks like she’s partaking in Megan Mullally cosplay) or Martin Donovan are reading lines and finally paying back a favor. Daft, pretentious and almost a complete void of entertainment. You may get some joy at just how bad it doesn’t even know it is but that’s no reason to spend any time with it.
