When they arrive for their weekend getaway in a remote cabin in the woods, Kath (Winona Ryder) and Max (John Gallagher Jr.) find it occupied by a younger couple: Al (Owen Teague), who seemingly wants nothing to do with the intruders, and Greta (Brianne Tju), the level-headed girlfriend who convinces him to let them spend the night. But suddenly, something’s not right. The once belligerent Al is now eager to play a sexy boardgame that Max encourages Kath to participate in, even though she’s made it clear she wants to sack down for the night. The next morning, Kath awakes to find Max and Greta have run off together. (For his first feature, writer-director Eli Horowitz makes the suspense-sabotaging mistake of tipping his hand early, by way of a brief flashback indicating this wasn’t Max’s first encounter with the couple.) Upon her return home, rather than calling Max, Kath contacts that cabin’s owner (Dermot Mulroney), looking to get Greta’s address, and together they proceed to track her down. What had the makings of an original thriller soon gives way to a whodunit before collapsing under the weight of its own illogicality. (29022) — Scott Marks
