People are voting emotionally.

i must have seen a different film!!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I can tell you one thing about this weird horror, you love it or hate it and I still don't know what to think about it. It do has a few creepy moments but it also got a lot of talking between father and son. I'm sure that once seeing it you will argue what it's all about. Who are those creature(s). What happened to the family?You have to watch very closely to get it all, it's full of flash backs but it also has moments of terror. Even the way that it was shot will leave some people wandering why it was shot that way. They used a lot of light and smoke in the wood to give some special(call it arty) shots. The best way to see this psychological horror is just by watching it and not knowing what's it all about. The acting is superb so on that part it works, it even got a graphic gore shot of a leg, it's all there but for some this flick will leave you with a few questions.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Despite some good acting by Lance Henriksen, this movie is hamstrung by a plot that makes no sense at all. It's not even a "makes you think" kind of ambiguity, just a complete failure to understand the rudiments of plot. Utter waste of time, and the positive reviews for this are clearly either the producers or some publicist involved -- no one could claim this movie was anywhere near good. The cinematography is passable, the special effects laughable, the guy playing October is horrific and has the charisma of a piece of toast, the monster is more kitschy than scary, etc. The guy who plays the villain comes off as suitably creepy at least, but that's about the most one can say about this dim-witted exercise in obfuscation.

Wow, how did this movie get so many positive reviews? It must have been friends and relatives of the movie makers to fool people into seeing it. Yes the acting is very good, especially from one of the most underrated actors of our time Lance Henriksen. But this is a slow, boring tedious movie that never explains anything. This father and son dual are being stalked in the woods by a creature that looks like a burnt humanoid thing, yet neither of the men is even remotely curious as to what it is that is trying to kill them. Then we get continuous flashbacks of a tragedy that happened to them years before that has NOTHING to do with what is happening to them now! One reviewer stated that it made her think. It made me think too. It made me think why did I just waste 80 minutes of my precious life watching a piece of crap that felt like it was 80 hours long! I mean it when I said the positive reviews have to be from people associated with the making of the film. No impartial person could actually like this super-boring snooze-fest.

The unfolding of the story was presented in a refreshing, confusing, provocative manner. A style of storytelling and filming I have not experienced before. Lance Henriksen, as Russell, presents a heartfelt, authentic portrayal. Sean Elliot, as October, plays perfectly against this veteran actor. They are father and son. Scooter Downey and Sean Elliot are the authors of this deeply frightening film. Mr. Downey as director manipulates sound, lighting, the setting, the actors in such a way to impart a sense of dread and horror. We are drawn into their experience. We become disoriented, bewildered, and perhaps we cannot escape. It is almost like you can taste the emotion and fear.
