Deliberate, chilling and satisfying

The message behind this film is so elegantly expressed I'm still reeling from the experience.

Grief. Redemption. Trauma -- all handled with a great amount of nuance and respect.

The performances were all so authentic...It's hard to put my finger on it, but the way all of the elements work together in this film made for an incredibly profound experience to see with other people in a theater. You could feel the collective catharsis hanging in the air.

Reminded me of a classic character driven film from the 70s...but incredibly relevant today.

I love the concept of a modern fairytale in the pacific northwest.

Beautifully filmed and acted

A very interesting modern twist on Little Red Riding Hood, with compelling characters under trying circumstances. The gray and chilling Oregon landscape is the perfect backdrop as the story unfolds. The music and editing complement the cinematographer, Adam Lee. There is a minimum of dialogue, the story is well told through the emotions and actions of Dani and the Woodsman. The story slowly and subtly builds tension to a surprising ending. It is impossible to not end up caring about them.

An impressive first feature film from director Kelsey Taylor and the small crew to create this very polished movie.

Gripping...Go in blind if you can

Was blown away by this film.... I honestly didn't know what to expect coming into this film, but found myself completely pulled in. I'm a sucker for anything with a fairy tale twist and thought they reimagined the Little Red Riding Hood in such a nuanced and unexpected way.

The PNW setting was also such a perfect place for a modern fairy tale. Those misty mountains shrouded in clouds ....

The ending was a knockout, and the tension throughout "those" scenes was INTENSE. Totally worth seeing in theaters...hope to catch it again to analyze further.... Thus far, it's my sleeper favorite film of 2025!
