With the little development we're given for each person, it leaves us with little reason to care whether they'll somehow survive through the ordeal. Speaking of characters, none of them are likable, in my opinion. Another complaint is that this one is set in summer time which kinda defeats the object of being called "Cold Prey" There's even a clichéd scene where some of the characters decide to go skinny dipping in a lake, which seems to be some sort of requirement in backwoods slashers for some odd reason.
