In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A buddy-pic with four brooding guys hiking in Sweden. They get lost, things start to get trippy and then go downhill from there. The story starts out with a Bigfoot vibe and then moves a little into The Hills Have Eyes territory, but it still feels original as it weaves in some mysticism and the supernatural. For my taste, there was more swearing than was necessary (the first half anyway) and the accents were a bit hard to decipher for this Yank. I also would have liked the girl at the end to have had a bigger part, with perhaps more explanation or development. Overall tho, it gets a hearty creature feature recommendation from me!

This is one of the better horror films in quite some time! Not Disturbing, but one that makes you question your belief system. The back drop of sweedens countryside adds eerie feeling throughout its entirety.

This movie deserves higher praise than the rating on this website, as it is a really entertaining movie with superb acting throughout the entirity. I am especially impressed by the chemistry shown by the lead actors. They convinced me from the first minute that they had been lifelong friends - it never felt forced. Solely that goes a long way.The film utilizes small means to tell a bigger story. It's quite straightforward, in a positive way - it doesn't try to be something that it's not. It delves into the limitations of old friendships, and the unresolved conflicts that can disrupt them, while also telling a spooky story of a group of friends lost in a forest. It follows it's red line throughout, and the ending is satisfactory as well - rare in a horror flick!Rafe Spall deserves a lot of praise as the lead. He's ready for bigger roles, let me tell you. He's perfect as the everyday British guy, and shows a spectrum of emotions that showcases his register.All in all, an entertaining movie that will give you some chills down your spine. Give it a watch!

If you like scary movies in the woods give this one a go. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. Good tension build up, very good setting of the mood. Good acting.
