A psychopath (J. K. Simmons) is shooting random strangers for apparently no particular reasons. Troubled teen Miranda (Isabelle Anaya) and her stepfather Eddie encounter him. Eddie is killed while Miranda escapes into the wilderness.
I like me some J. K. Simmons and mass killer J. K. intrigues me. The newbie girl is fine. The counting thing is a little stupid. This is set up for a fine indie thriller. It's nothing big, two main characters and the woods. The first false note is leaving the prego mom alone at home. There is no actual reason why the sketch artist couldn't go to their house. Separating these characters really bugged me until it becomes obvious that they did it for a story reason. It makes the last act ring false. Any shock at the twist is lost by the bad construction.
