Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

This is a movie full of familiar faces, all decent actors and/or funny, but I did stay because I wanted to see what they did with Nasim Pedrad (should have been Jasmine in the live action "Alladin").

While this has all the consistency of a decent horror/suspense/thriller (I honestly feel I've watched that movie), but is very much framed as a good corporate retreat comedy.

It's all about the intra-personnel stories and work dynamics, but in a survival situation.

For some reason I feel like that makes the majority of the jokes and situations even funnier, or at least absurd.

Of course my favorite part of any survival story is how people break down as the situation gets worse and worse. While the movie doesn't really focus on that, in a competitive sense, for most of the movie, they definitely dive into people acting crazy.

Like a slightly worse version of "The Office" in a cave, lol.
