Obviously the 9 and 10 reviews here are from cast/crew/friends/etc. Might be one from a real person, but it's unlikely.
This is yet another entry in the perennial "attractive young people go somewhere off the beaten path and encounter a deadly threat" trope set.
If you're a horror fan at heart, that's not so bothersome. It's been done a million times, but that doesn't change the fact that this is the same basic premise for many films that we now term classics.
Original, this is not. But that doesn't make it inherently bad.
In terms of executing that basic plot structure, this film strikes me as standing out for no other reason than it doesn't stand out at all. It's entirely middle-of-the-road from start to finish. The script, the acting, the effects, the sound, you name it: none of it is particularly bad nor particularly good.
It all pans out to be exactly mediocre.
Though, on a personal note, gotta say I'm a fan of Katie Carpenter.
