Plot: Blake and Charlotte's relationship isn't going too well, so they plan a vacation to Blake's old cabin. They get lost on the way there, but a local is nice enough to go with them. Nearly there, a figure on the road causes Blake to crash the car. Something is out there in the woods, and it's hunting them.

I think this was Blumhouse's attempt at elevated horror, but that part was so ill-conceived that I can't even be sure. Fact is that you're getting a werewolf movie with quite a bit of trauma inserted. The drama slows the whole thing down, and the werewolf bits are generic and predictable.
The only thing saving this one is the budget, which allowed for some decent effects and proper cinematography. The build-up isn't too bad either, but the horror elements are weak, and the werewolf lore mixed with the drama was a complete miss. It's a noticeable step back for Whannell. Hopefully that was just a one-off.
