Don't Turn Out the Lights

I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch this movie: just wanted a watchable standard horror. The movie starts off typical for a horror movie. A group of friends get together to attend some festival, they get lost, and then strange events occur when they're unexplainably stranded in the middle of nowhere . The concept seemed fine at first, so I figured I'd be in for at least a decent 90 mins

The movie is unwatchable though. The acting from everyone is awful and cringy. And the characters are not likable. Their jokes (eg the "Screw Marry Kill" game) and behavior (eg drugs) make them appear more annoying than charming. The only likable character is the ex-Marine, who unfortunately doesn't stay long. Instead, we get stuck with the girls who keep screaming and arguing like divas to the point where I, as a viewer, couldn't get behind them and root for them. When strange events start happening, the ladies go on and on about "hey, maybe this is all a prank" to the point where I wondered why they would make our protagonists so dumb.
