A group of college kids drive to Western, Massachusetts (filmed in Canada) for a ski trip. Jill (Hannah Kasulka) is our voice of reason, although she is with Derek (Craig Arnold) who doesn't know about Philip (Corbin Bleu). Alison (Sasha Clements) is the victim of some roofie team rape, post the video type of thing. And no one likes Bree (Humberly González) because she is pretty. Brothers Tod (Kyle Mac) and Matty (Alexander De Jordy) even up the group.
A blocked road causes them to take a detour through Stoughton Valley where there was a witch trial as people who entered that area of the woods had seizures. They get stuck on a posted road and Alison has a seizure. . .
Most of the film takes place inside the vehicle. It would have been nice if they were stalked by Cujo the hungry bear, but that was not the case. I would have liked to have seen a little more "Yellow Brick Road" effect, but that didn't happen either. It was a little disappointing. And there were no witches either.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This movie was unfortunately boring. The acting was awful and storyline predictable. The characters were so unlikable which led to me welcoming their deaths. I highly recommend that you don't waste your time and energy on this movie. Stay clear of this one.

This movie has a minimum of magic, and leaves room to argue there is no magic at all. But it really looks like the crew of college kids are in trouble with the supernatural, and it's fun to watch and never boring.
So, pace is great. Acting is great. Casting is fine too the people are all reasonably pleasant to look at, but are not unbelievably beautiful. Which means the viewer can focus on the story.
The story is constructed well, nothing too original but that doesn't mean it's bad. There are barely any moments of overly dumbness, which would be normal for the genre. The plot holes are far and few in between.
I would have wished for some closure. But maybe there is a sequel which would be awesome. I rate 8 stars because the couple of jump scares and overall spooky atmosphere was spot on and I was entertained throughout the whole thing. <3

As noted by others, sub-par acting, and lackluster scares, if at all. Most of the action is set in the car so don't expect much scenery and eery locations when it matters. Women sobbing and crying all the time does not make good horror, or does it?

I was excited to see this after reading the synopsis and reviews but only made it half way through. It's hard to figure out what each character's story is. A LOT of testatoron but nothing scary at all. Maybe the 2nd half makes up for it but the first half is a boring mess.

We live in a time where their are so many low budget horror movies I've trusted the reviews of IMDB in attempt to sort through the weeds. This however caught my eye off trailer alone so despite its low rating I watched it anyways as I'm glad I did!
Nothing about this movie screams low budget, there isnt a time in the movie you're not anticipating what's coming next, several things happen that leave you wondering how they will develop. No it's not amazing, it's not a blockbuster film, it's just very entertaining from beginning to end!
I found this movie miles above horror flicks that recieve twice the attention and get screen time at your local theaters. Again not award winning just an entertaining film in a time where plenty of lousy horror films exist.

Some young american's get stranded in the wilderness where according to legend witches lived.
So, Jill's best friend, Alison, has been the victim of some unspecified sexual assault.
Jill is like, "Hey, Alison, to get your mind off things do you fancy coming on a road trip? You will be stuck in a car for hours on-end with my overly aggressive boyfriend and his dumb mates. Well at least you know them, as two of them are implicated in your sexual assault. One of them is bringing along their new girlfriend. We haven't met her yet but she is definitely a massive bitch. Oh yeah and I am cheating on my boyfriend with one of his friends, also on the trip, but don't worry he was the one least likely to have molested you."
Alison is like, "That doesn't sound like it will be awkward at all. Count me in!"
Bitch-face has just enough time to read out a pamphlet about witches in the area before they get stuck in the snow and immediately start fighting.
Not a lot happens in this film; most of the action is in the car.
Not a problem as this worked with the likes of "Dead End" and "Wind Chill"
Not here though.
These setups rely on you actually caring about the people in the car.
Here you just can't.
If this bunch of moody, opinionated, arrogant, narcissists had made it to their destination it still would have been a horror movie.
The acting, production and camera work are all very good.
A fair amount of tension is built up and what little story there is twists enough to keep it interesting.
The dialogue is also pretty well written and a few times it feels like sanity could prevail.
But it is always evident that old alpha-male Derek can't keep his poo together for more than twenty five seconds at a time and everyone else seems intent on pushing his buttons.
A nice try with some nice ideas but it is hard to shake the feeling that everyone got what they had coming to them - even if their crime was just being really bland.
