Trying to shoot a new mockumentary, a filmmaker begins looking into a series of bizarre animal sightings taking place in the woods nearby, but the more he continues filming, the more he begins to unearth a massive cult of worshippers following this Egyptian deity in the area.
This was a bit more disappointing than it should've been. Among its brightest aspects is the main idea that runs throughout here involving the documentation of the various sightings that took place in the area. Featuring a series of interviews that set up the kind of intriguing background on the series of strange sightings that take place in the woods surrounding the local English countryside, the fascination with the subject comes across well enough through the interviews and recorded pieces for the documentary that it all comes together rather nicely. The second half, taking all this information from the project's participants that it serves rather well to bring about the search for the creatures in the woods where a far more dynamic revelation takes place that shifts the film considerably away from what was expected of it which provides the film with some impressive gore and twists that bring about quite a lot to like here. There are some big issues present within this one. Among the biggest issues here is the wholly repetitive and one-note nature of the storyline involving the sleazy director sitting around watching talking-head interviews of witnesses recounting experiences and encounters with cats in the woods of England. This works well for the first couple of guests who tell bland if wholly appropriate encounters they had with cats, but by the time it manages to work around double-digit individuals doing nothing but telling stories that revolve around the same type of encounter, the novelty has worn off considerably listening to brief sports of random strangers saying pretty much the same thing in different order. Without any visual reenactments or some kind of photo evidence of what happened, these become tedious and drag this out considerably by making the first half so hard to get into. Without much in the way of interesting characters to follow and a cheap feel to the production, there are some big issues to be had here.
