Unusually, for films of any genre, this almost immediately got right into the meat of the film.
I would say two of the characters were cliché's. The Protagonist's friend, was that slutty, good time girl, and the main Antagonist was that cartoon villain. Other than those two the characters were all fairly well presented.
There were a few things which didn't exactly feel right. One being, why the other three 'dudes' were friends with 'The Hooded Claw' and then why would they go anywhere with him? They must've seen this psychotic behaviour from him previously, as it took practically nothing for him to turn from a a guy who fancied himself as a Ladies Man to wanting to cut every Woman in a 100 mile radius into tiny pieces. The other was just how easily 'Penelope Pitstop' managed to defeat him, considering he'd just very easily killed three mates, and her mate.
Outside of that, it was a decent enough film, and probably better than many in this sub genre of 'Mountaineering gone wrong'. It was certainly much better than the film 'Fall' from a couple of years back, but then, in all honesty, it wouldn't be difficult to make a better film than that.
I think some of the ratings are exceptionally harsh. It's not a masterpiece, that much is certain. We have to two cartoon characters, but it does a decent enough job of building a certain tension. It's worth a watch.
