It's morning as five people- former flat mates and old friends - wake up in a remote tramping hut. Some of them are feeling the effects of the walk to the hut while others are feeling the effects of previous night's party.This weekend is a celebration of their friendship - it will be the last time they will go out on their annual 'tradition' of an adventure trip. Their lives await them on their return to civilization. Belinda is still struggling with the recent suicide of her sister, Emily. Consoling her is her fiance, Rajit - the butt of old flat jokes, and eager to move on. The feisty yet insecure Zara, who has accepted a job overseas but has some unfinished business with one of her friends. Chris, the slacker - a lawyer, of all things, for whom this trip holds a cruel finality.

The movie was shot over a total of 10 days - 8 days in November 2006 and 2 days of pickup shoots in January 2007.

The team had to walk an hour into the woods before getting to the location. Each person carried their own bedding, food, water supplies and costumes and equipment.

There was no electricity at the location, so 99% of the movie is shot in natural lighting conditions.

Well, some of the acting was okay, and the natural surroundings were nice. Now for the other stuff. Well, yes David Lynch has made some great movies but if 'Blue Velvet' were a painting, it would hang in a museum. 'Five' is something you'd pin to the fridge with magnets. David Lynch uses flashbacks for (and during) intense dramatic developments. Here they just derail the plot, since each one effectively 'resets' the events. Or do they? By the ending, I just felt jerked around, with no narrative pay-off for my trouble. Was it all a dream? Why did that one guy seem to age when he went insane? Why was there so much dull, boring dialogue in the first half? It seemed like there were bits of useful plot here and there, but without a strong narrative to tie them together, 'Five' merely presents a sincere but inept David Lynch pastiche; the equivalent of your neighbour's kids' garage band doing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

I just finished watching this and all I have to say really is it wasn't worth the $1 rental from the local video shop! I'm amazed that I made it through to the end, I think I need paying for achieving this. It was a bit like watching some teenagers scare story from around the camp-fire brought to the screen with all the cliché, predictability and lack of thrill those types of stories have. It was sold with the catchy little ' for lovers of David Lynch' above the title so yes my expectations were high but David Lynch has: Originality Artistic Depiction Implied Menace and perhaps most of all it leaves the audience something to think about. This piece of Kiwi garbage was more Blair Witch than Twin Peaks perhaps preferable for the lack of hand-held nausea inducing shots but derivative drivel none the less DREADFUL

I just finished watching it on my PC (RealPlayer). It probably would've been easier to see on my big screen TV. That being said, I still have absolutely no idea what it was I watched! I don't know if it was a dream in flashbacks, an overdose of "mushrooms (for them, not me)being relived by each cast member, or just shown so much out of order as to confuse me. I still don't know who died (if anyone). I don't know when Chris had enuff time there to grow a beard. I don't know if "the gun" was ever fired, or if there was really a gun at all! I'm just one of those old-fashion movie watchers that likes a beginning, a middle and an end. If "Five" had those, I missed them!! My rating of a 3 is generous.
