Synopsis
Nursery teacher Jenny and her boyfriend Steve, escape for a romantic weekend away. Steve, planning to propose, has found an idyllic setting: a remote lake enclosed by woodlands and seemingly deserted. The couple’s peace is shattered when a gang of obnoxious kids encircles their campsite. Reveling in provoking the adults, the gang steals the couple’s belongings and vandalizes their car leaving them completely stranded. When Steve confronts them, tempers flare and he suffers a shocking and violent attack. Fleeing for help, Jenny is subject to a brutal and relentless game of cat-and-mouse as she desperately tries to evade her young pursuers and find her way out of the woods. –IMDb

Really liked this movie, we are living in a day and age where kids know that can do whatever they want when they are under age. That if you act against the "law" a kid can assault you, but if you defend yourself, you can be very well charged more than the actual agressor. This movie takes it to the next level, torture and to kill, its very sad the truth that can be seen in the basics of this movie.
