Don't waste your time, unless your into purposeless violence and inanity. The plot of this movie is total crap and people do things that no one in real life would do. The villain is not believable and the couple are shallow. Gratuitous violence is the only thing this film has to offer and maybe that is what the writer and director is going for. Find a better use of your hour and a half or so and knit, or shovel snow, or do your taxes, or just sit mindlessly and stare out the window. Any of those activities would be better uses of your time than this movie. We should have been smart enough to turn it off after the intro.

I love Jeff Fahey and Casper Van Dien, however, there were several times where all the couple had to do was scream "Just shoot him, he's a psycho serial killer!" Two of the characters had guns pointed at the killer, but the victims never bothered screaming "Kill him! He's a psycho killer!" Lol! I guess then the movie would've been a lot shorter. Lol! Also, if someone tells you to cuff yourself, would you be dumb enough to cuff your hands behind your back, or instead do it in front of yourself, to give yourself a better chance of escaping?? Duh! And, when you make it back to the safety of your boat, wouldn't you just start the thing and get the heck out of there? (Instead of showering and changing your clothes first?) Even though Jason says "I can't drive this thing." Once the killer finds them on the boat and they kill him, the boat is seen driving off into the proverbial sunset. Who did the driving then? Finally, does anyone really think that because you survived a serial killer for a couple of hours on a hiking trail, that you're actually qualified to open your own company called "Survival Training: How to Survive in the Wild." The "Wild"??? Really??? Lol! Scene and . . . CUT! 🎬

Predictable but entertaining. You pretty much know what's going to happen, but you find yourself wondering exactly how. Casper VanDiem was good as the villain. The couple had a strange love/hate relationship. The husband was pretty much a whimp. But he took a licking and kept on ticking, I'll give him that. Pretty stupid as well. The first time they met Michael should have been a clue to get as far away from him as possible! You'll see what I mean. Also, as is usual in this type of movie, if you get the upper hand on the bad guy take him out! All in all, it was worth a watch. Nice scenery as well.

This is horrible. I can't believe Hulu allowed this as a 2022 movie! The acting is horrible. The script is horrible. The plot might pass if the acting were better. Who are these actors besides Casper? Never seen any of them. I also feel the doorman dying and tour guide dying was the best acting in the whole movie. The filing location looks like a US wooded backyard in Georgia. I can say that Casper with that gaunt look is kinda eery. But he teeth don't seem capped any more either. You can't even have sympathy for the lead stars because they are not attractive. Casper used to be so handsome. He looks weather beaten and worn. And now we see that a pretty face can't carry you forever. Just absolutely horrible. , I wonder why am I still watching this!!!!

Everyone is such a critic. This movie won't change your life. You will not be amazed by the acting either. It's extremely entertaining anyways. First horror I seen that involved no weapons. Really original in a lot of ways. If you loved Halloween where mike myers would slowly follow his victims this movie is sort of like that. It's odd but I think this is definitely worth your time unless you're the type of person who really needs the best of the best drink a little and loosen up a bit and you'll enjoy it. It keeps you pretty amped. All in all it's a good movie if you need something exciting but are t looking for an action film.

It's fun. It's got Casper Van Dien doing some cool stuff and acting differently than he usually does. The plot is not very good, that's for sure. Predictable and a little jumbled. Could have been so much better. Kudos for the 90s vibe. Reminded me of an old Adrynne Lynn film.

## DNF. Couldn't even finish. Way too much bickering and arguing. That's the first 45 minutes. This couple SHOULD divorce. After that, this movies turns into a horror film. The brutal killings, the blood, and the stupidity of the couple. With 31 min left, I gave up. I just didn't care about these people. The only good thing about this movie (and the sole reason I raised my rating to 3) is Jeff Fahey.

When couples therapy fails, Zoe is thinking about divorcing her husband Jason because he works too many hours. The couple decide to go on holiday to give their marriage one last chance at rekindling their relationship. At a bar Jason meets Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers, only now he calls himself Michael and has an OCD obsession with the number 3 which often has to stretch to make any sense. He's also doing his best impression of Michael from Halloween. I won't put much effort into this review because it's clear no one involved with this project or much effort into it either. With the sole exception of Jeff Fahley the acting is terrible. Honourable mentions for Casper Van Dein and Poppy Delevingne whom tie for worst performances. I mean the silent extras do better jobs than these two. Van Dein is still doing his Johnny Rico bit and Delevingne appears to have gone to the same acting school as Paris Hilton. The script comes across as if it were written by a high school student having their first experience with a camera. Speaking of the camera work is mediocre with weird lighting choices given the context. Cutaway B roll scenes regularly have little to no connection with the A roll scenes either side of them. Pacing is slow, tedious and yet somehow manages to fail entirely to portray how much in movie time has passed. Every possible opportunity this film misses it. Don't waste your life watching it, you'll never forgive yourself if you do.

The 'Educator' would have probably been a better title for this unknown gem of a 'horror/psycho/stalker' film. Ignore the negative reviews, it's actually a REALLY good movie if you like this sort of thing, which i generally DO! 'Casper Van Dien' (probably best known for 'Starship Troopers') plays 'Michael', an odd sort of fellow, who gives those unlucky enough to get his attention just 'three' chances to do as he asks. If not you'll regret it! His life's work it seems is to walk the earth 'educating' poorly mannered tourists, which an unassuming 'York' couple with marital problems finds out to their dismay! Van Dien's performance is a joy to watch, scary, intimidating, relentless, just don't be rude around him, he won't like it! 👍 👍 👍
