One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

It's a true great French TV series very compelling from the beginning to the end ! It almost makes me scared to be alone in the woods. I love the atmosphere and the characters are very well-written. Great show to watch !

(Review based on viewing the whole of season 1 ; there seems to be a second season in the making.)Interesting series, part "polar" part fantasy, with an eerie, discombobulating atmosphere ; somewhat similar, in look and feel, to Tasmania's "The Kettering Incident". The scare potential of the woods is exploited to the maximum and there are clever references to ancient legends and beliefs. Another asset : a strong but slippery and ambiguous female lead, ably played by an excellent actress.However, there was something about the relentless darkness of the series that diminished my viewing pleasure. Here you've got a village filled to the brink with people who are involved in crime, know dangerous secrets and/or suffer from trauma. The stories and storylines drip with grief and alienation : it's nothing but fear, angst, desperation, duplicity, silence and misery. At times it's like visiting the suicide prevention section of a psychiatric institution specialised in clinical depression. Still, the series bears watching and the underlying themes of predatory disregard for the environment are more relevant than ever. Aaaah, homo sapiens, the only creature on the face of the planet that is fully capable of destroying the planet for a quick buck.

A powerhouse cast, subtle and intricate writing, and some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in anything. This show it tense and beautiful and perfect.

Danish television compiled this into 4 episodes. 4 long, but somehow just not long enough when yearning for more after each episode. Intriguing, dark, mysterious, obvious - yet not at all - leaving you with more questions than answers after each episode. I certainly recommend binging the series. Adding to all this, its filmed in a clever and mind blowing way, with gorgeous scenery. This is some of the best I've watched in a really long time. Mostly watching American or British in general (content, somewhat), this was a mind blowing- and extremely positive - surprise. It's weird, but certainly in a good way. This is actually my first review in here, created the profile as I simply had to tell everyone about how good I thought this actually is.
