Non-Spoilery Synopsis
A couple of guys talk about starving and lack of food. A man writes in his diary and something we don’t see happens outside, which upsets him. The others tell him to come in and shut the doors so the “spiders” don’t see him. Will help ever come? At least the rain will drive them off for a while.
We then flashback to the group driving into the forest one night during break…
Commentary
As we flip back and forth between good times in the car and the nastiness of the present “Lord of the Flies” situation, we eventually start to figure out what’s going on. Which is worse, the monster outside or the monster within?
It looks good, and the acting is fine, but it ends abruptly without any resolution to the monster plot or the “social” plot.
