7/10

Enjoyed this movie very much

I was on the edge of my seat for most of this movie of course rooting for the protagonists. I really felt for the two innocent victims throughout the movie and immensely hated their attackers which made me emotionally invested in the film. Of course there were some illogical decisions made by the characters but they're kids and kids in a highly stressful scary situation, none of which took away from my enjoyment of the movie however. From start to finish I wanted my protagonists to succeed and this movie held my interest throughout.
