The title is what you'll be asking throughout this film.

I love horror, but this was so strangely done that I half wondered if it was actually a spoof on the genre than a straight horror. I say this because the victim was made to be so incredibly dumb that it looked like she was spoofing or parodying what some characters do in these types of films when running from a killer.

I won't give much away but I just have to point out what really made me tune out of the film and not care what happened after a certain point.

Here was a woman all alone in a cabin in the mountains.....While reading a book in the evening she hears strange noises right outside. After getting up to investigate, a rock is clearly thrown by someone into the window of the living room she's in.

She begins screaming "Who's out there?" and acting hysterical looking in fear for her life, which is understandable. But what she does 5 minutes later is jaw dropping......he shuts the lights.....AND GOES TO SLEEP!!! LMAO. WHY?!

She went from hysterical and in fear for her life to "I'm going to bed" in the span of 2 minutes. It made no sense at all and that's when I wondered if this was actually a horror spoof movie.

Who would DO that in that kind of situation? She doesn't even use her phone either.... Just turns all the lights out and goes to bed. I was astounded by her actions and didn't care if she lived or died by that point.

There are more instances like this with this woman. She's the dumbest character i've ever seen in a horror film, and i've seen hundreds.

She drops her phone on the ground to run after seeing a dead rabbit hanging from a tree LOL. WHY?! Why do that? Did the sight of a dead rabbit scare her that much to toss her phone away?

The stupidity was just too much with this one....why write her this way unless the intention was for the viewer to root for the killer. But even he wasn't scary as he should've been.

He can't even catch this whimpering idiot when he's wrestling with her in the front seat of her car. I was laughing at parts I should have been biting my nails at.

This could have been a really good suspense flick if the victim were written with a brain. And the police...OMG...there's a known serial killer in the mountains yet the Police Chief sends out one cop to investigate...who is all of 5 feet tall, and a middle aged woman to boot. No backup for her at all?!

If you must watch this film, I suggest you do it on Tubi where it's free. I see that Amazon has the gall to charge $3.99 for this and no one should waste a penny to watch this flick....that alone is the true horror! 1 star for how stupid the main character was written.....I still can't believe SHE WENT TO SLEEP!!...."WHY?" is definitely the perfect title for this mess.
