What the critics say
Critics call this a handsomely shot, well-acted forest-survival thriller with strong visuals and effects, but say its blurred genre identity and repetitive, dragging pace test patience before any payoff.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
