“Being lost in the woods is no fun. Being lost in the woods in the winter with just the clothes on your back is pure torture.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eToday, weu0026#39;re surrounded by survival experts and survivor-themed shows just about every night of the week and none of them truly capture what it would be like to be alone in the woods with no discernible hope for rescue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Trailu0026quot; is the story of a seriously dire circumstance where the odds of survival for one woman are worse than the Raiders winning the Super Bowl this season. It is somewhat organic as a low-budget film but makes up for it with high-quality acting from its lone star.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a rare thing in Hollywood to have a movie where you essentially have one actor or actress carry the entire feature. Youu0026#39;ll notice right away that nary a word is spoken in u0026quot;The Trailu0026quot; in the first 20 minutes and thatu0026#39;s where it grabs your attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJasmin Jandreau does an outstanding job as Amelia, a widow who has just lost her husband as they travel the always brutal Oregon Trail.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Trailu0026quot; is an interesting look at a terrible individual struggle and an excellent showcase for Jandreau, who clearly has a bright future.”
