A recently widowed mother, her teenage son, and her old friend are followed through the woods by some creepy guy with eerily reflective sunglasses. They grow more panicked, and the mother's general fear over what to do for her son builds in the face of a situation she has no idea how to handle. So that aspect of it works reasonably well.
My friend was disappointed because the description said the trio's survival skills would be pushed to their limits, and that really isn't what happens. Or if it is, their survival skills were essentially nil to begin with. The movie isn't long enough for that, so there's a lot of them running through the forest, or hiding behind stuff while they hope the guy walks past without seeing them.
The movie doesn't reveal anything about the killer, his motives, nothing like that. It made him kind of dull, a cardboard cutout, second-rate Jason Voorhees, but if you figure the focus was supposed to be on his victims, and he's simply an external force to force them to deal with their shit, then maybe that works.
