Basically that. I really don't care for films based upon the conceit of vlogs or online influencers and all the 'hip' comments and likes, etc. Just not my thing. BUT... once you get past all that, and I can see how it was somewhat integral to the story, the way the plot proceeds is actually done quite well.
The acting is excellent and the writing I feel was sharp. The reactions of the people helping here I thought were quite genuine. Usually in a film like this it is the poor acting that really kills it, but not in this case. At the beginning I admit I was FF it through all the YouTuber stuff, but when I got a ways into the story I slowed down and as I watched I did get more and more drawn into a rather strong Mystery of what the hell was happening.
It actually turned out to be a very good Psychological Thriller with good Horror elements. Like I say, MOST times with movies that try to do something like this, usually the acting/writing just isn't that good. But, in this case as the mystery drew you in deeper and deeper, I really found it quite gripping and very much intrigued to know what was going on.
So yeah, if you are like me and all the 'Hipster' online stuff makes your eyes roll back to the back of your head, stay with the story and you'll find that the original online conceit fades a bit more into the background as the actual story of what is truly happening becomes more apparent.
I'm glad I stayed with it, even after rolling my eyes and FF the movie a few times at the beginning, because at the end I felt it was actually a very clever idea and that the filmmakers did a very good job in putting it together, along with quality acting throughout. If you like a good mystery and if you can get through the first 15-20 minutes or so, once the 'accident' happens, from that point on I think you may very well find this quite an engaging and mysterious Thriller.

You think it's gonna be a typical boring vlogging social media horror at first, but i actually twigged onto some decent acting from the lead girl early on, perfect for the role and i was impressed at how she took to it.
Although i will say the mechanic could of been better casted.
Plot was good! Background music was spot on during some scenes.
It keeps you guessing as to what's going on which keeps you watching. I won't give any spoilers but i think Cabin Girl 2 should be made, as long as the script can evolve the story and you keep the lead, make it more sinister and disturbing and you'll have a really good franchise on your hands.
I'm thinking prequel sequel to be honest.

Netflix movies have A list stars and 100 to 200 million dollar budgets. Tubi movies cast complete unknowns, character actors and C listers with budgets under a million dollars. Don't get me wrong, Tubi makes some real turds but they also make some above average movies like this one while Netflix continues to make dreck like Red Notice, Bright, Bird Box, etc.
This movie is well written and well directed. The lisp of the main actress was a little annoying, but other than that she was quite good, effectively portraying a woman losing her sanity. The male lead was very good and has a great onscreen presence. This movie is helped immensely by three very good character actors, Tergeson, Rispoli, and Weixler. Character actors like these deserve more praise in Hollywood.
This is a quick 80 minute watch that never bores and has a nice little twist at the end. Keep it up Tubi.

Cabing Girl follows Van Girl, a vlogger who tracked her travels in her van after her parents die. She switches to a cabin after she has an accident involving a deet and has a resulting head injury. As she settles into life in a fixer-up cabin in an isolated rural small town. Then, weirdness starts happening.
While this film as a slower pace, and lots of sunlight that can be confusing for a typical found footage films, Cabin Girl is a slowburn that explores the main character's experience of supernatural phenomenon and symptoms of her head trauma. This makes for confusing viewing as the watcher isn't certain what is happening. Add in a potential stalker, and Cabin Girl had me guessing on my red herrings.
Easy to watch with decent performances by the actors. Plotting and script are okay but not advanced. Overall, it made for decent viewing.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film.
Being a TubiTV Original, and all...I expected it to be far worse than it is.
It's actually quite an engaging little film.
One that's simple, yet effective.
In it, we find ourselves following a young social media influencer, who has taken up the van life.
Only to leave it behind, when she finds an affordable cabin, in a remote, rural town.
However, it turns out that the cabin has a dark past.
Which she's driven to uncover...you know...for the views.
Only to find out she's asking questions, she might not be ready to face the answers to.
To keep things interesting, they add in a bit of a twist, and some misdirection.
Which gives the film an air of mystery.
Although it's more of a supernatural thriller than it is a horror.
It's definitely worth watching.
Especially compared to a lot of the other original films that TubiTV has to offer.
Even if it is a bit basic.
3.5 out of 10.
