99 - Crowsnest

    A found-footage horror that focuses on a group of people heading for a vacation cabin, when their plans are ruined by some people in an RV attacking them.
    The summary of this - provided by Netflix, but also appearing on IMDB - "In late summer of 2011, five young friends on a road trip went missing after being attacked by nomadic cannibals in a huge RV. Video was recorded by the victims & recovered by police as evidence in their still-unsolved murders."

This summary is misleading.  There are no police in this movie.  There's no framing device.  We don't know how this footage was recovered.
    One of the biggest problems that found-footage movies have is that they don't have characters we care about.  This hasn't been an issue in the Paranormal Activity movies (at least for me) but I don't remember liking any of the people in Blair Witch, and even Cloverfield seemed to have a dearth of likable people.  This is no different.  There is no one in this movie that is likable.  What's funny is that they seem to know it.  All of their relationships fall apart about halfway through the movie, as soon as some stress is put on them.
    This is a pretty by-the-numbers plot.  They show up in a tiny, abandoned town.  See some weird things, a local warns them of death.  Then they get back on the road, and get hunted down by some backwoods guys in an RV.  There are a few tiny variations.  Specifically, we don't see the person warning them to stay away, we only hear about it secondhand.  There's also a girl, borrowed from Japanese tradition, dressed in white, with long black hair covering her face.  We see her standing spookily, holding a stuffed animal, then she disappears.  Later on, she shows up in the RV, and seems to be one of the cannibals.  It's strongly implied that she is killed, but we never learn anything about who she is, and what her relationship to the two guys running the RV is.

    Despite how simple the plot is, and how annoying all the characters are, I do have some mild praise for this movie.  Once the sequence started with the RV terrorizing the group, I found myself very tense.  The setup reminds me a lot of Duel, but the setting is a bit worse.  The backwoods mountain road, with next to no shoulder, and seemingly only one lane, it's pretty terrible.  It also reminded me a little of the first time I saw Jeepers Creepers.  The first act of that movie is very effective, then it just gets silly.
