Solid work
But not really something that is phenomenal. Horror movies live and die with their characters (most times literally than metaphorically) and in this case, the characters are mostly nicely drawn. You might even care for them (or at least some of them) not to die. Unfortunately a few things come in the way (and I'm not talking about Death/Killer situations alone).
The things that might annoy you, are the decisions made. Bad decisions as they mostly only happen in horror movies, to move on and make the movie "interesting" or let things happen that could be easily avoided. Having said that though, I have seen far worse, so if you don't hang up too much on those things and don't mind the slow pace in the beginning, there is a couple of things to enjoy here

Moor or less unfinished
Bad dumb Tish! To be honest there were moments I was thinking X moor had some interesting ideas and was going somewhere, however it kind of felt a bit messy in the end and was a bit inconsistent. The lead role was entirely unconvincing and paled in comparison to other actors in minor roles and this proved a bit distracting, although the twisting and turning on the plot could not have helped plus the characters being all a bit on the silly side, then again we'd have no horror movies without characters acting inexplicably stupid. The movie also suffered from many dark scenes at one point which were simply difficult to make out. It did feel everything went on an inexplicable rush near the end and ambitious plot points were not developed fully. It did have its moments however it seems like more time was needed to think over and edit this movie. Has the guy from Agents of Shield in it tho. 3 points for creepy kid, 10000 points for unintentionally hilarious stunt involving a Jeep.
Fun Movie
I'm not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating on IMDb. I just saw this, and it was fun. It had a natural flow, and I liked the main character a lot. There was a twist at the end that was very unexpected. However, what happens to the bad guy was kinda silly, but it didn't negate the rest of the movie.
Melia Kreiling was very believable, and she seemed believable scared throughout her time in the forest. I think we'll see more films with her in the future.
I recommend this film. It's a solid, original thriller, and I'll watch it again. I gave this a 7-star rating.

Could have been much moor
Two Americans go to Exmoor, England to investigate the rumors about wild cats roaming the moors. They hook up with a guy who is a hunter and set out to find one of the beasts. What they actually find is much more disturbing.
It's a pretty good premise for a horror but doesn't quite live up to its promises. The plot twists and turns unnecessarily, leaving the viewer yearning for something more punchy and less contrived. It's very much a case of the more they added, the less they got.
Melia Kreiling is probably about the best thing in the movie. She's solid in the lead role and I have a feeling we'll be seeing much more from her in the future. It is competently shot, looks and sounds good but it's the messy plot and somewhat thin characterization that prevents any real tension from building.
It does have a few moments that are effective but they are scarce and not particularly scary. I didn't hate this film but I doubt I'd give it a second viewing in a hurry.

X Moor: Worse than I could have ever dreaded
Starring Nick "Agents Of Shield" Blood we have three people going into the woods to find evidence of a big cat roaming freely.
Irish made and with a one million budget you'd think this would deliver but instead is an excessively dark poorly constructed embarrassment.
The one thing I'll say for it is that it wasn't predictable, to such an extent in fact that it's not what it's advertised to be and the front cover is yet another lie.
Utterley unlikeable I don't see where the budget went and can only assume they had great catering.
The Good:
Unpredictable
The Bad:
Lifeless
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
1/4 movie covers are lies these days
