What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The Bluefish River area and West Virginia forest contain both the rafting teenagers and the disabled custody bus, turning the woods into the film's primary trap.
Three Finger, described as a mutant cannibal hillbilly, attacks the teenagers, prisoners, and guards throughout the backwoods ordeal.
Prisoners, guards, and law-enforcement figures must respond to the same attacks after the custody bus crashes, while Carlo Chavez dominates the human power struggle.
The prison transport, U.S. marshal, sheriff, deputy, security guards, and prisoners all lose control once the bus is attacked in the remote forest.
