A chilling slow burner of a tale.

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2017)

This film is not an easy watch, and is complex. The viewers can debate all day what was going on, but it is a genuine horror film, all because the director takes you back to the 17th century, a time where religious beliefs, were the glue that held families together. As the film unfolds the viewer sees what tricks the mind can play on the people living together in the wilderness, as things don't go as planned. This work is far more thought provoking, and chilling than so many so called horror films made for today's younger audiences. Ambitious and creative horror film makers and students should see this film, study it, and see what can be done with a limited budget and less well known actors.
