this be about a girl who take a job a a forest ranger up in some remote area . she spend the whole first half of the movie wallowing in a pool of alcohol and self pity because she cause the death of her best friend in a drunk driving accident . we do not know originally that she cause the accident and but it a big revelation when it finally discover . like we do not see that come . if you like watch a girl walk around in drunken anguish feeling sorry for herself for what seem like endless hour and you will love this . be also lucky enough to get flashback numerous and uncountable flashback of the accident . we get a whole pile of them at the beginning of the movie and then when she whine and cry and relate the whole story to her boyfriend and we get a whole pile of them again . oh and wait and be there suppose to be some horror aspect to this thing . yes and there some critter who like to play prank on her by climb up on the roof of her ranger station and conveniently wreck the radio antenna . it generally make a lot of noise but never attack her . funny and it kill all the miscellaneous folk out in the wood and but choose just to pull prank on her . oh wait and that because and as be explain by the requisite secondary character who conveniently appear just to tell her the secret and she at the center of this thing . how be she at the center . what special connection do she have to the beast . your guess be as good a mine . it unfortunate and because there some really beautiful scenery in this thing and and the setting and up high in the air in a ranger tower and could have be very effective if it weren not housing someone who spend the whole movie whining and cry and have flashback to something utterly unrelated to the story at hand . the second half of the movie pick up a bit a the monster chase the girl around the wood . this at least stop her from wallow in her pool of self pity for a few minute . unfortunately just when thing seem to be pick up and we get this truly awful theme music and enough to completely ruin this part of the movie . think joan baez on whiskey and tranquilizer . even though the girl doesn not have time to cry and whine and the theme music do it for her . this kill any possibility of excitement or suspense and shift your attention to wonder what the director could possibly have be think when he choose this crap . the end and where the girl come to grip with her guilt while oh good grief . it so predictable and so stupid i just have to laugh . overall and i couldn not watch more than a few minute of this thing at a time . it like they have no idea what direction they want to go with this . an atmospheric thriller and a teen sex romp and a lifetime movie of the week and a killer critter in the wood movie while they just toss all the element in a blender and the mangled remain be what appear on screen .
