I spent the whole time waiting for something to happen, fucking anything. This is so boring and the characters are so unlikable that even at under 80 minutes, this movie feels like it lasts forever. They consistently make the stupidest decisions and seem to actively want to die. Essentially, five morons (are we sure they are friends? They don't have any chemistry or history, and I don't think they even like each other) get snowed in at a remote cabin and when the power goes out, they struggle to survive. They are all freezing cold, so they gather around the fire in the living room. They bitch and moan and debate chopping up furniture for firewood (you are in the fucking forest, why don't you start there instead?), but what they don't ever do is get the blankets and comforters from the bedrooms upstairs or switch to any of the warmer coats in the closet. One dumb fuck is in a leather jacket. Dude, just pick one of the thirty coats on the closet and you'll feel so much better. At times, their incompetence is hilarious and bouys you a little farther, but mostly you're just praying they'll die so the movie can end. It looks like shit, the acting sucks, and the story is painful. I think my favorite part is that they advertise Johnathan Bennett as a part of the movie, but in reality, he appears on a FaceTime call twice for a total of maybe three and a half minutes that I think he filmed on his IPhone in his bedroom and sent via email. When they started to hallucinate, I audibly groaned "Oh no, is it going to be this kind of movie", but the they make it obvious it's hallucinations. In retrospect, any of those being real would have made the movie infinitely better. Multiple red herrings are introduced that lead you to believe something fun is coming. There is nothing fun in this movie; nothing ever comes. I'm trying to figure out how to classify this movie: nothing scary ever happens, so it isn't a horror; there is no suspense and there are no thrills; so those are out the window; there isn't any drama; so not a drama. What the fuck is even the point of this movie?
