The title of the film poses the question of why it got made. It reminds me of a copycat of Mike Myers without the compelling back story or character developments. It is a slasher film from a forgotten bygone era that does not stand the test of time. There is nudity at the beginning and a benign storyline thereafter.

I have to say that overall the acting wasn't bad, but the writers made the characters seem kinda dumb and totally naive. I mean yeah, I get it, it's an independent horror film; some blood and gore...but c'mon ya gotta give the viewers a little more to chew on then this. Even films like Friday the 13th and Halloween did a decent job giving a storyline! The main character does one stupid thing after another after she realizes that there's someone out there stalking her. From throwing her handbag away (with phone in it) to casually watching the killer roam the cabin from afar; instead of running towards the main road to try and intercept her boyfriend who she knows is on his way there...I mean geeeezzz Louise!! It really goes south from there, especially when the sheriff (Lance Hendrickson) sends one deputy out to check on the strange goings on in the area regarding missing persons, ugh! Oh well...you get the picture? And the ending made no sense to me. Why is she smiling and so happy about her published book after so many people including her fiancee got slaughtered by the "maniac"? Why????? Is absolutely right on with this flick and it's title!

This is yet another of a long list of slasher movies that give the killer absolutely no backstory, or any kind of explanation of who he is or why he kills. The purpose is of course, because they think it increases the suspense and drama of the movie, but this movie lacks both. The killer in one scene stands above over his victim and slams his axe down on what looks to be her head, but somehow decapates her. That is just poor directing, editing, and acting all around.

This movie isn't even good enough to be slasher considered slasher porn. You know those movies right? Where it is just someone killing simply for the sake of killing. To me this movie is predictable, and the main character has several scenes where she looks more like she is trying not to bust out laughing rather than screams of terror, and fear. The blood in one scene looks more like cherry kool-aid than blood.

This movie is a great example of why Hollywood remakes so many of the older films. It is a waste of time, effort, for those poor sobs that paid to see it, money. If you value what little time you have in your life, and you happen to love horror movies then you should do yourself a favor and skip this movie. I am now asking myself, "Why?" "Why did I watch such a boring movie instead of watching something with even a little bit of substance?"

I love horror, but this was so strangely done that I half wondered if it was actually a spoof on the genre than a straight horror. I say this because the victim was made to be so incredibly dumb that it looked like she was spoofing or parodying what some characters do in these types of films when running from a killer.

I won't give much away but I just have to point out what really made me tune out of the film and not care what happened after a certain point.

Here was a woman all alone in a cabin in the mountains.....While reading a book in the evening she hears strange noises right outside. After getting up to investigate, a rock is clearly thrown by someone into the window of the living room she's in.

She begins screaming "Who's out there?" and acting hysterical looking in fear for her life, which is understandable. But what she does 5 minutes later is jaw dropping......he shuts the lights.....AND GOES TO SLEEP!!! LMAO. WHY?!

She went from hysterical and in fear for her life to "I'm going to bed" in the span of 2 minutes. It made no sense at all and that's when I wondered if this was actually a horror spoof movie.

Who would DO that in that kind of situation? She doesn't even use her phone either.... Just turns all the lights out and goes to bed. I was astounded by her actions and didn't care if she lived or died by that point.

There are more instances like this with this woman. She's the dumbest character i've ever seen in a horror film, and i've seen hundreds.

She drops her phone on the ground to run after seeing a dead rabbit hanging from a tree LOL. WHY?! Why do that? Did the sight of a dead rabbit scare her that much to toss her phone away?

The stupidity was just too much with this one....why write her this way unless the intention was for the viewer to root for the killer. But even he wasn't scary as he should've been.

He can't even catch this whimpering idiot when he's wrestling with her in the front seat of her car. I was laughing at parts I should have been biting my nails at.

This could have been a really good suspense flick if the victim were written with a brain. And the police...OMG...there's a known serial killer in the mountains yet the Police Chief sends out one cop to investigate...who is all of 5 feet tall, and a middle aged woman to boot. No backup for her at all?!

If you must watch this film, I suggest you do it on Tubi where it's free. I see that Amazon has the gall to charge $3.99 for this and no one should waste a penny to watch this flick....that alone is the true horror! 1 star for how stupid the main character was written.....I still can't believe SHE WENT TO SLEEP!!...."WHY?" is definitely the perfect title for this mess.

It's not blood or jumpscares that make a slasher film good. This film may not have that much of a story but that makes it more realistic. Do people really think that every time there is a killing that there is some unique story behind it? No sometimes, as much as people don't like to admit, Killing sometimes just happens for no reason. You could be out walking your dog and someone kills you out of nowhere. That why I like films like this since they are scary to me and show that even if you aren't in a "unique story" that you can be harmed. This films title matches the movie because seriously WHY are you doing this? Who know? Maybe there is no reason. SUSPENSE!!!. I'm gonna be having nightmares about this man.
