3 stars because of enjoyable scenery and camera. Story had great potential but more of a tale needed after the predicable early twist. The characters were neither hilariously comedic, nor convincingly dramatic, thus lukewarm connection and engagement for me - except for Alabaster, who did well getting the cringe and uh oh reaction, but his final act not in sync with that of the narcissistic sociopath. The flick was saved by the pretty, articulate damsel, and we'll forget that she chose to shack up with a shady dude who couldn't build a solid cabin.
