A Perfect Getaway

A young mild-mannered American couple, Cliff (Zahn) and Cydney (Jovovich) are celebrating their honeymoon by hiking to a remote beach in Hawaii. The couple comes across Nick (Olyphant) a solo hiker, who saves Cydney's life when she slips crossing a narrow ledge. The trio approach a group of frightened female hikers discussing a double murder in Honolulu of another newlywed couple on the island, with the victims having their teeth pulled out and fingertips removed, Cydney and Cliff discuss whether they should turn back. The couple decide to continue hiking with Nick, who claims to be an Iraq War veteran and subsequently meet up with his girlfriend, Gina (Sanchez).

Cliff suspects that the couple of hitchhikers that he and Cydney had earlier turned down for a ride Cleo (Shelton) and Kale (Hemsworth) and run into on the trail might be dangerous. He checks their bags after discovering that his and Cydney's permits are gone. Then, he, Cydney, Nick and Gina leave together, but Cliff suspects that Kale and Cleo are following them. Nick and Cliff split up to search for Kale and Cleo. Cliff runs into a guide he and Cydney had met before setting off on the hike, who gives him the permits they had left behind. He and Nick return to the campsite, with Nick bringing a goat he had killed. Gina proceeds to expertly gut and butcher the goat, saying she learned how by working in the meat department of a grocery store.
