Storyline

A young soldier, Kate (Zara Phythian), returns from a tour in Afghanistan after witnessing her boyfriend's tragic death in combat. With the comfort of her friends, including Torri (Barbara Nedeljacova), she takes the chance to get away on a camping trip to a picturesque, remote area of the British countryside. Wanting to escape their past, the girls begin their expedition into the woods for a peaceful break. As they near Sunset Point, they come across a strange and evasive group of locals who seem to be living off the land. During their journey they also have a friendly encounter with three charming, rock-climbing adventurers, led by Ethan (Ben Loyd Holmes). After the girls find themselves secluded again, Charlie (Jemma Bolt) suddenly goes missing, leaving the girls vulnerable in the dangerous woods. As darkness falls, the girls will be forced to rely on each other and their newly formed friendships to find Charlie before it becomes the last hike of their lives.

User Reviews

Dreadful sexist gratuitous rubbish

It starts of well and then? well...it turns into a sexist porn/horror movie. Unpleasant to watch and very gratuitous, its such as shame as it starts off well. I am not sure who this film would appeal to, it has strong female characters that are reminiscent of the women from The Descent, but is horribly sexist to the point that any female viewer would want to turn it off. The men are ridiculous unbelievable characters, and if they appeal to any viewers then I suggest they seek specialist help.

Some of the acting is very poor, especially from the women and that makes it hard to watch. I would avoid at all costs/
