For those who whine that the story made no sense, I ask, what about horror and the unexplained ever makes sense? It is, to be sure, your typical story about an encounter with the unknown, but it has a bit of a different approach. Give it a try. At least it is not one of the endless batch of "found footage" films that try to pass themselves off as an actual movie.

To make this short: this "movie" once again proves that not everyone who thinks he has "the gift/talent/need" to write a script for a movie actually HAS the ability to do so. A waste of time, cheesy writing, bad acting - avoid if you value your time. There are at least a hundred better ways to waste your time. This is not one of them.

You won't need any audio to understand the story. It follows the typical B movie script and cast. You've seen 100 of these movies and should have all the lines memorized by now. The plot is a boy disappears in the woods. 20 years later a bunch of hikers stumble upon him. Meanwhile, whole mysteries such as the stairs, the crazy couple, the monster, the below ground facility, the RV camper and the boy are all unexplained at the end of the movie. The movie was a bit of a mess and the characters were not believable as friends, acquaintances or even brothers. Pass.

I was shocked to see Kathleen Q. And John S. In this movie. They're both excellent actors and to stoop to being in this is crazy. I'm watching it now and I'm halfway through it. I haven't seen anything horror related to this film. There has been some funny parts though. That's the only reason I'm still watching it. I do not recommend this movie unless you're just completely bored and nothing else to do or watch.

Honestly I thought I would hate it with much passion since I only saw bad reviews but wow it was great, it had many tense moments and mystery about the things happening in the film, it also had a nice ending which I didn't expect I totally recommend it it's one of the 2021 gems.

The stairs in woods concept is so good because of the many ways you can spin it and build a mysterious atmosphere around it. This movie capitalizes on none of it. It's your stereotypical people being hunted in the forest movie, complete with stiff dialogue and cheesy writing. This one's just got a pretty set of stairs on screen for about two minutes of total screentime. In fact it's so unimaginative that they had to add a door to it. Save yourself the time of this one, even if you're a fan of the NoSleep stories.

They should have just stuck with a standard "monster chases people around in woods" story. It would have been worlds better. But no, they had to introduce huge plot lines about supernatural and sci-fi phenomena that were never resolved and had no explanation! There were not even hints or leads: they would just have something really supernatural happen, and then you never heard about it again and there was never an explanation! That is a dirty thing to do to your viewers. Terrible. Save your time and watch something else.
