All of us go on vacation. While there are some that like the comfort of a hotel, some of us like the comfort of a tent in the wilderness.

The wilderness can be a place where you can unplug yourself from the busy city life and reconnect with your inner self. The only condition is that you go far away from the city and deep into the wilderness. This condition can be a double blade: on one side it can be heaven on earth and find peace in the most beautiful places, but on the other hand you can expect a scenario like the one in this movie.

This movie, as we can see a quote on the cover, “will have you vowing never to go camping again.”

The way that we see the two stories told in parallel, takes things to a different level.

So, the plot looks like this: we see a family that goes camping near a lake inside a forest – mother, father, a teenage girl and a baby boy. The girl suffers from some sort of bad dreams. And she is clearly shaken from this even if she is awake. And then we see a young couple that decides to go camping in the same place that the family has their tent. And we watch how the young couple set their stuff near the family’s tent and wonder where they are. It`s not that until the next day they get a bit alarmed when they go check it out and find the tent all messed up inside. They decide to go back to the city when they find the baby boy wondering alone. That`s when the shitty things get revealed. Two “hunters”, from which one of them just got out from jail, have their little boar hunting trips near the lake. That`s when they find the family and decide to abuse the women and play some can-shooting games. As a result, the girl is knocked out from all the raping, the mother and father are shot and the baby boy is out of reach.

One of the hunters comes back the next day, finds the couple and the baby boy, decides to go with the guy in search for the parents and from here everything is just another hunting and survival experience.

I can only say that the baby boy, that survived despite all odds, is left in a scene breathing and baby-moaning on the ground in the forest, the hunters are dead and the last scene we see is of the young couple in the hospital alive.

My first reaction is: what happened with the baby? How in blazes do they end the movie like that?

All in all, it`s a spine chilling movie, a cruel thing that can happen on every trail you take (chances are 1 in a billion, most likely, but there is a slight chance), and, even though it`s a scenery that has been used in many movies, it still makes you reconsider who do you take with you and where you go camping.
