Absolute gem of a movie. Like I said had me shouting what the ****?! On several occasions. In parts tense, scary, and surprisingly tender with really good heart. Avoid spoilers, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Much better than it's score would suggest.

A young couple live in seclusion in a cabin in the woods. An old theme perhaps, but this is an intelligent variation on that theme. The couple seem perfectly normal other than the man has a fairly violent temper when he's crossed. The woman (popular Sophie Rundle, best known for playing Ada Shelby in Peaky Blinders) appears to be writing a book on an old typewriter, all very normal. Her husband has a regular delivery of petrol but one day his usual delivery guy doesn't turn up and this is when things turn sour when someone else turns up with excuses but no petrol. Later a girl is heard screaming in the woods and the husband equipped with a hunting rifle investigates and finds her with her leg caught in an animal trap. He takes her back to the cabin and is something of a Bear Grylls whereby he's a survivor and can fix broken legs. This plays out like a Tales Of The Unexpected and we see something that I never saw coming so it's worth seeing this little horror movie. It is very dark but stick with it and you will be rewarded.

I was bored one night. Had this movie in my queue for a min, and was like let's check it out...This movie was totally worth it. It is a little slow burn and it took a min to get through the first 20 mins because of the almost boringness of it. But the camera and scenes kept me interested. The actors were all legit, tension is built well and second have if the movie really picks up pace and curiosity as well. I thought it was a great flick. A breath of fresh air, especially not expecting it...ended on point and legit as well...if you watch this, be in a quite place and be able to focus on it...

This was a perfect, short movie that was very well acted and directed. Yea it was nothing new under the sun but I liked the execution of it. So much better then cheese fests like It Don't listen to the haters. It won't win any awards but I think if you have a heart this one will appeal to you.

A few reviewers have said, "The less you know going in, the better". I agree; it is a clever twist on an old horror adversary and worth your time, a slow build-up and a bittersweet end. Very well-acted and allows the viewer to work it out. It does not lead you by the hand; at its dark heart, it's a love story. Don't go in expecting all gore and jump scares; this is a horror drama.
