6.5/10 The film is build on some very fundamental mystery-thriller concepts - three people, seemingly strangers, end up in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere under unclear circumstances, and find themselves unable to leave.
The first part where we get acquainted with the characters and the mysterious surroundings is well paced and atmospheric, as is the middle part where the pieces of the puzzle start getting revealed. The acting is rather good as well.
What doesn't let the film become a real surprise is the last part, where we learn the purpose of the protagonists' presence in the woods. It's a little underwhelming, the fourth character seems a bit out of place, and the whole affair, especially the very ending, is rather cheesy.
A much better film than you might expect from a low budget thriller, it's entertaining but missing that one extra good idea that would make it a memorable exception.
