    Original Indy filmmaking

    This is wat we need. Good, strong, original films. I liked the opening with Vomitman, I liked Gamekeeper, I liked final act. Scotland looks amazing. I want to there one day sion. Hoepe I don't get shooted!

    distrubing

    The first 15 minutes of this film, basically a short film of it's own, are some of the more distrurbing things I've ever seen. Disgusting and compelling. Not suitable for suicide sensitive

    Hardly an original idea in sight, but it has a certain charm. nice action, okay directing, too slow.

    Slow, Boring, Not Rewarding

    Original does not always mean good and Dark Highlands proves it. Do not be fooled by the (as of now) above average rating. This is a slow-burn, low-budget horror movie that I can only describe as tedious. Like I said there is some originality here, but it is ultimately lost in a boring, convoluted art-house style film that lacks any polish or substance. There is some action but little dialogue and by the time it is all said and done, I was just happy it was over. Pass. 3/10

    Pointless

    This is a well done production without a story. It's just as the preview shows: long scenes without anything at all and then the artist is chased... but why? There's no lesson i can gather, and nothing new or interesting enough to justify making another stalker film, imo.
