Backwoods (2006) Free On Demand

[Skull]

My wife and I sat down to watch this movie today.. and I felt that this movie just said F-U to me!

Did anyone else see this?  Did anybody get it?

Maybe I'm just an idiot and missed the message, or maybe they were whispering at one point and I missed some critical dialogue, but I just didn't get it.

I was waiting for the big "OH!" moment where SOMETHING made sense, but it never came.  The acting wasn't bad, the setting was beautiful, I expected the story to all of a sudden get good but it didn't.

If I'm going to take this movie as it is, then it's just a series of unfortunate situations and assumptions.

I don't understand the reasoning for setting it in 1978.. I didn't even find out what happened to the dog!

My wife thinks it was a big production to make an artisitic/metaphorical message about this guys relationship with his wife.  She thinks the reason it was set in 1978 was to save us from the scene where someone is walking around trying to get a cell phone signal.  I think she's wrong - at least I hope she's wrong because that would be pretty stupid.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm planning to sometime in the next few weeks (I have OnDemand as well).

I heard it was just like a rehash of Straw Dogs.

I'll have to let you know my thoughts after I watch it.

Couldn't be much worse than this movie with a similar name (space in between the two words).  Horrendously awful, like a bunch of idiotic college kids grabbed a camcorder and filmed themselves being stupid in the middle of nowhere, and one of them had a basic knowledge of makeup.  A good portion of the movie was "in" jokes, too, which was annoying.
