Looking for a weekend away, a group of girlfriends deciding to take a relaxing girls' weekend in the woods finds themselves targeted and hunted by a strange group of hunters looking to savagely hunt and kill women for sport and must find a way to get away from the group alive.
Overall, this was a fairly enjoyable genre effort. Among the more enjoyable features here is the fun setup to everything which is incredibly cliched but still effective enough. The early scenes offer enough of a background on their individual backgrounds as a need for the trip to be organized as well as their initial encounters around the woods having fun before the group comes under attack by the stranger that starts them in on the early encounters with the hunters. These offer up some intriguing aspects here with the relative confusion of everything that's going on around here. That allows the film to come off quite nicely with the brutal hunting scenes that take place. The use of the backwoods brutality style hunting and killing that takes place is quite fun here with this one starting off nicely when they interrupt the vacation with the brutalized captive and the subsequent hunt through the woods trying to capture them with plenty of knives and gun-play mixed with some hand-to-hand brawling is all rather fun. With some intriguing twists involving shocking survivals, brutal brawling throughout the woods, and some surprising death orders, it comes off nicely giving this some good aspects to it. There are some issues here that bring this one down. One of the main factors bringing this one down is the series of incredibly underwhelming tough-guy interactions with the hunters that doesn't establish who they are all that well. Immediately introducing them by arguing and snapping at each other despite supposedly having done this before makes them feel childish and intends to create false drama where there really shouldn't be in this situation when everyone should be on the same page to show how much of a threat they should be so it all winds up feeling massively cliched and unrealistic. The other real drawback to this one is the seemingly random bits of information we get on the hunting club that's chasing them that makes any sense. The initial introduction shows it to be a high-class group of wealthy figures looking to do this for sport and fun, yet the low-rent group out in the woods is nowhere close to that kind of clientele which makes it seem weird that was the type of setup they showed themselves to be. Their influence is once again a wealth-based series of donations keeping everyone on their payroll to avoid suspicion, so its inconsistency is an issue and holds this one down overall.
