Didn't like the script very much, felt very forced, like it came from an outsider trying to imagine what these people might be like. I didn't like much of the acting, most of the lines were delivered too unnaturally. Maybe its because I'm from the ozarks, but I felt like so many lines in the script were trying too hard to be authentic and ended up sounding forced. I got bored by the unimaginative scene transitions... walking through the woods to someone else's house. It had the quality of a good student film... reminded me of my film school projects where I just wanted to go out and find locations and use them instead of focusing on the arch of my story.
Not a bad movie, just didn't feel like it was a great work, and certainly didn't live up to some of the hype it received from critics.
