. . . did we watch the same movie?
It is a 90 minute conversation between two cult survivors lost in the desert. Unfortunately, nothing interesting is ever really happens, and I guessed the ending. It left me sad and disappointed. I did not feel challenged or intrigued, just bored.
There will be no value added to your life if you watch this movie. There are no revelations or and the story telling is meh. The acting is OK but the script is non existent.
I was so surprised that the story did not go anywhere, much like the main characters. I felt like I was being punished along with them. Give it a miss.

The story is so bland and boring that the actors must have paid to be in it as a self promotion/marketing tool. Reminds me of the cheap SciFi movies the SciFy channel makes, with cheesy special effects and pointless plots and a no name cast. Cast has lots of credits, but only in "C" movies. This movie is even too bad to be the 2nd of a double feature popularized in theatres until the 70s. Prop budget must have been $100. It might be a good movie to watch if you are doing something and just want some noise in the background. I gave it a "3" because I think the actors tried their best to present a decent movie. Unfortunately, it was doomed from the start.

I never give twos but, this is deserved. The one reason? This movie goes nowhere very, very, very slowly. My wife got up and left with 15 minutes left and she likes everything. I left too, with 15 minutes left you know there's no way they can pull a satisfying ending. The actresses going crazy is so annoying and so badly acted. Really call a friend, take your pet for a walk, write that email you've been meaning to write. Take the time you didn't spend on this movie and make the world a better place.

The title of the review summarizes the whole movie (sic).
There is nothing in it. Nothing. Zero. Nilch. Zilch. Nada
I've seen talks on Insurange Industry conferences that wore thrilling, exciting and rewarding compared to this little "gem".
I am sure that not even the artsy-fartsy can sit through this coma-inducing opus.

Don't waste your time on this one. Nothing here unless you like background noise. Not worth the time. Better off watching the football draft. Less boring than this.

If you watch the wall of your room, it will make more sense than this movie. Give an iphone to kindergarden kids, they can shoot a better movie.
I gave 2 stars only for Malin.

Two clueless women go for walkabout in the desert with no water, no supplies and no common sense.
Nothing happens of any interest, zero scares, zero thrills, zero plot, woeful script written on the back of a pack of Marlboros!!!
The End!

I think IMDB has been lobotomized by the Marvel Universe generation. Any movie that is challenging and requires any thought gets ridiculously bad scores.
This is a good slow burn thriller. It has a non-relenting creepy feeling to it. Malin Akerman and Lorenza Izzo put in good performances as two women who have just escaped a cult. It kept me guessing right up to end and the ending, though satisfying, was not what I expected. It's the type of movie that makes you wonder what just happened.
It's definitely worth a watch if you want an escape from mindless CGI action spectacles and want a real movie about real people where something real is at stake.

I mostly skipped forward and tried to find a part in the movie that wouldn't wana make me skip forward but there werent any. I choose this movie moslty because och Chris(on of my favourite actors) and he does his thing and is great as always. Malin gives a strong performance to but the plot ruins it all! I get it, the writers and the director try to reach out with the message etc but having great actors in a movie with a "scanty" plot and scenes etc- nah whata waste! Maybe, there wasn't enough budget... Because with a better backstory and more scenes with inclusive content, it could´ve been something good. Such a waste!

This movie was a psychological thriller that actually kept me guessing until the end. The two main actresses work well together, and Malin Akerman is good in everything she tries. There are no jump scares, there is no man with a chainsaw - but the character work, the realistic descent into madness, and the psychological possibilities set forth by the plot are interesting a-f. If you want some regurgitated plot about a psycho on a rampage - this isn't for you.

I should have read the reviews before wasting 95 minutes. Oh well, I had nothing to do, and it was cold outside. Earlier this year, I thought I had seen the worst movie in years, but this one was even worse. Other reviewers trying to tell us we are wrong might not be correct.
Granted, most people like block busters, but this one is just busted. The budget must have been the lowest in movie history. The most expensive prop was a small trailer home.
Malin Akerman looked so bad that I didn't recognize her and forget the other one.
Someone else said they had seen commercials more interesting, and unfortunately, they were right. I am just glad that I didn't have to pay to see this movie.

I feel a little guilty giving this only a 3 after turning it off after only like 10 minutes. I can usually tell where a movie is going within that time frame and I was frankly not intersting in see where it may have gone even if it weren't being acted like a "Lifetime," movie.
Malin Ackerman, was the draw for me. I liked her in "The Comeback," and in "The Watchmen," but those two shows had something in common, she was surrouded by great actors who masked her inability.
I don't know who the other actress was and I wasn't interested in finding out.
Avoid this movie, I didn't watch it past 10 minutes and I wasn't intersted in finding out what went on.

It's clear from the reviews that this movie isn't for everyone.
Do you want action or jump scares? If so, this movie isn't what you're looking for.
On the other hand, if you want a slow burn that cultivates a genuinely creepy atmosphere and keeps you guessing right up to the end, give this a watch.
It starts with two women in the desert who are escaping a cult, which I'm sure the makers' lawyers will assure us is in no way inspired by Scientology. We learn their story in bits and pieces, but it's also clear that their memories are not entirely reliable.
This is definitely a "less is more" movie, and they do a lot with a very low budget, few actors, and almost no sets. Maybe a little slow in the middle, but definitely pays off at the end.
I would really love to see more like this.

There is a lot to like about this movie. For those looking for a typical Hollywood horror film, this isn't it. I think this movie has more in common with Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" than Scream or Jason vs. Freddy. In fact, I think this movie would go over well as a theatre piece.
The acting was top-notch, delivering a sense of dread and paranoia throughout.
I do think the ending under-delivered a bit, but on the other hand I can't imagine a better resolution to the situation these women found themselves in.
Kudos to the directors for not resorting to cheap Hollywood jump-scares to deliver the dread.
9/10.

I seriously enjoyed this film. Very impressive. A great psychological character piece with a fantastic, creeping terror that builds & builds. It is a deliberately paced story, so stick with it! It's a smarter thriller than most. The film and characters descend into a madness that is realistic in its gait. I'm not sure if the film went over the heads of some of the other reviewers, but this is an intelligent thriller that pays off in a satisfying way.

This film is a psychological thriller. As such, everything is not laid out neatly for the viewer. You will be left to figure out a few things on your own. If that doesn't sound appealing then you shouldn't watch this film. There's far more to this movie than two people screaming at each other in the desert, as some reviewers have written. I've rated over 500 movies on IMDb. This is the most underrated film I've come across. For best viewing, watch it without any preconceived ideas based around Hollywood formulas. If you're as much of a fan of psychological thrillers as I am, you won't be disappointed.
