The team behind this is the same team behind so many other terrible movies that have to buy ratings to trick people into thinking their good. It doesn't work and people aren't convinced. The movies are bad and if enough people just come out and say it then the illusion is broken.

Sorry but this is another bad attempt. Give it up.

Didn't expect to like this as much as we did. I caught the trailer for it while we saw a film last week.

I love films like Blue Ruin and this reminded me of it.

Very well done. Slow burn thriller that is full of tense moments. Beautiful looking and the performances were strong. Again, very surprised to like this. Good thriller that reminded me of the old films that took their time telling the story.

Thumbs up.

I got sucked into the woods as I watched this one play out. Fun, unusual characters. Great traditional filmmaking. Writer / Director Derek Presley is an homage to raw, instinctual, pulpy films that resonate with Texas southern personality. A guy's movie!

I rented this without much hope of it being good.

I was pleasantly surprised to not only be entertained but actually caught myself thinking about the film afterwards.

This is not a horror film. That's the first thing people should know. It's also not an action movie. The scenes are intense and the overall message may be too depressing for people to like but I thought this was exceptionally well made. Definitely not represented the right way through the fact it was in wal-mart and the cover looks like it's a different kind of movie. Why this wasn't in festivals or something is beyond me. My wife and I try to go to the Atlanta Film Festival when we can (we've been three times) and this would have played really well there.

THE GOOD Very good movie and has some depth I honestly didn't think it would have. Opening scene was great. Complicated move. Music was good. Another scene was a shootout between the characters. It was done with a great deal of reality. Was a sense of dread.

THE BAD - The film may be too slow for American audiences. The scenes are great and the pacing is pretty good but there is a lot of talking and one must be patient to get the pay off. Most people my son's age (20s to 30s) just don't want to watch slower paced films. Not that that is bad but it's just a matter of preference.

The film also has a rather drab ending that I didn't like but I guess understood it was that way for a reason.

Pessimistic message.

Overall I recommend but you need to know what film you're renting or buying before you do it. If you think it's a typical thriller you'll be disappointed. If you want to watch a film that hits you in the gut, then you'll like it.

7 of 10 - mostly because the acting was extremely good and I loved the old school look of it.

Bleak as heck film I saw at Texas tHeater when it showed. This is the type of film that makes you think. I got to hear the producers talk about it for a few minutes afterwards and they seemed like they were really passionate about it. The camera and acting was great. I was surprised because I don't know any of the actors but holy s**t they were good!

Some people will not like it and some will love it. Not sure if I'll ever watch it again because it really was bleak but it's a good film. But i was interested the whole time and there were some really intense and scary scenes.
