When I first saw trailers for the movie, they did what all other movies did: Made it look more scary and action packed than it actually is in the movie. Before watching it I got all different types of reviews from my friends, some said scary and some not. Finally, after realizing my mom watched it, I decided to give it a try.

Mallory and her children embark on a dangerous journey through the woods and down a river to find the one place that may offer sanctuary.

Basically, it is a challenge to blindfold yourself and either walk around or do a task without being able to see. After many people got in serious accidents over this, Netflix and the local police department warned people against doing the challenge.
