This a common case where the Metacritic score is far more useful than the user score. It is a solid genre flick with two strong lead role performances and a very well selected supporting cast of creeps. Kitty Green is in full control of this film from start to finish, putting the audience in a terribly uncomfortable situation that seems extreme at times but at the same time all too familiar. You will not have to have backpacked the Australian Outback to relate to what these two girls are experiencing. You have either been in their shoes at one time or have at the uncomfortable experience of witnessing someone in their shoes. With a tight 1.5 hour run time it is well worth a watch. 8/10.
