Having viewed no end of slasher movies (more disappointments than triumphs) I have to say that this is a very well made movie. I can imagine that the lack of gore or nudity might let some people down but for me it works well just as it is. Avoiding spoliers it is a typical 'teens ignoring the warnings of locals and heading into the wilderness for a few days of camping and frolicking'.
This is a well shot, well constructed film with good pace. Unlike many films similar in vein the teen characters are actually quite likeable and not your typical obnoxious types. It has a good score and good use of the eerie sounds of a remote forest. The performances in general are strong aside from 1 or 2 characters. It manages to build tension without resorting to jump scares every other scene and you do feel the jeopardy of the teens.
I do feel it is an underated film, perhaps with more blood and guts it might be held in higher esteem in the horror community.
