A cute little sci-fi horror, with some neat twists and inconsequential reveals. Not everything works here, the ambition for this film seemed to have been relatively low too, but the result is a pretty fun genre flick that doesn't overstay its welcome and delivers when it really matters.
A young couple is going on their first hiking trip. What they don't know is that an alien ship has just landed in the forest, and is looking for Earthly subjects to study. It starts trailing the couple, but they're going through some relationship troubles, so they don't notice that something is eyeing them from the shadows.
The intro is a bit long, the midway twist is cheapish and Lacy may not have been the best cast, but some decent effects, a lovely setting, and some solid horror shots make up for it. You won't find anything new here, but the presentation is solid and people looking for pleasant, seasonal horror filler won't be disappointed.
