If you remove the scenes that involve walking, the transitions between scenes where the screen is black and the scenes dominated by the backs of heads... You'll have 3 mins of actual content left. The blackout transitions were so long my TV actually went into standby mode a few times.
This movie is certainly a lot of the following:
All in all 90 minutes of wasted time if you ask me.
- waiting for something to happen
- back of heads
- veeery blurry background with important scenes
- black screens
- scenes with spinning camera
- mines
All in all 90 minutes of wasted time if you ask me.
Not a horror film in the scene of pop ups. More like the affects of war on people. If you're looking for an action packed horror with pop ups and jump scares this isn't it. Good film could've been better if it explained some stuff, which is didn't do on purpose for the sake of interpretation. The more you think about the film the better it seems to you, if you just watch it you probably won't enjoy it as much.
This movie does open up a lot of room for discussion on what happened in the film. If you are open to a movie about affect of war on people and how it changes/divides them, with a neutral party being involved watch this, but if not I wouldn't recommend this.

This movie is billed under horror but is definitely not what most would consider conventional horror. It's more like the story of a couple places in horrific situations. That being said, I have to agree with the other reviews saying that it is largely 90min of watching people walk around.
The premise is about a couple who are lost in the Bosnian woods, when they encounter a pair of suspicious men who offer to lead them to safety. The girlfriend comes off as a bobble head with anxiety issues, constantly afraid of everything and everyone and arguing with her boyfriend at each and every decision. Also, how does a 100lb girl survive a landline explosion with only a flesh wound?
There's an unseen entity that seems to follow them around while they traverse land mines (wtf were they doing in the woods to begin with?)
The whole thing felt like a bad European nightmare version of Deliverance, only without any decent actors.
I'm not sure which was worse, the movie or reading the reviews praising the movie. It was terrible. Great premise made bad by a plot way too slow to develop, confusing plot motivators, and a total WTF? ending.

- TriviaMaus Name Meaning. German: nickname for someone supposedly resembling a mouse, in appearance or timidity, from Middle High German mus 'mouse'.
- GoofsA couple abandon a 4WD on a forest track and set off to find the nearest town, but the woman is concerned about landmines. Tracks tend to connect towns, not bypass them. If the track was mined, the vehicle would have been blown up or weeds would have grown over it. If not, the couple would have no reason to stray from it as the track would take them where they wanted to go.
