**Not even that bad**
_Mild spoilers:_
Four douche bags hike into the jungle, one of them Hairy Potter, and not one of them has a significant reason to do so. Immediately the viewer is rooting for the wilderness to take them out one by one, but unfortunately we don't even see that happening.
This wasted opportunity could have been so interesting, with survival action like building a shelter, cooking water, making fire, finding edible foo…
