I love seeing a horror film without knowing too much about it beforehand. I saw the trailer a couple of times, which didn't give away too much plot. But still made we want it see it.
The setting is simple... a cabin in a rural part of Ireland, which allows the filmmakers to create an eerie atmosphere for the audience, and they did a great job making me feel like I was there.
The small cast allows the characters have depth, especially Carolyn Bracken, who gives the film much of its creepy flavor.
As the plot unfolds, it starts to feel somewhat familiar... in a good way. But even though it doesn't break the mold with other films of this genre, the filmmakers and cast make it feel fresh.
If you like atmospheric slow burns, you'll appreciate this film. You'll still get a few well done jump scares... and maybe even a few laughs (in a good way).
