A well made film, with attractive visuals, keen acting, likeable characters and an atmosphere that at times has one thinking they're in a Clint Eastwood western. There is an earnest and intimate effort here to provide a thought provoking and emotive experience. The only thing is, and it's quite a significant thing, is that it's not as scary as it indeed should be, billing itself to be a horror. But in saying that the scenes are done with careful consideration and all round it's a good effort. The story itself is not an original one, it's been done before many times, the stuck in the middle of nowhere with some gruesome creature hunting them down scenario, but what many other horror films lack, unlike Dead Stop, is creativity and attention to detail. You could do a lot worse if you're looking for an aesthetically effective film, even if it's not particularly spooky there's still portions of this to appreciate.
