All I can say is wow!. I wondered what on earth I was watching to begin with, it was all a bit strange. The fact that it's made on a low budget though, doesn't make a difference to whether it's good or not. I found it absolutely fascinating. It only took a few minutes of watching to get hooked, after my initial reservations. I really wanted to see if the killer would take his mask off (and I'm not telling you if he does or not, don't want to spoil it for you). The Scottish dialogue is perfect to create a softness in the killer, and I almost felt sorry for him. This is definitely not the usual slasher horror that you see. It is so much more, very deep, and keeps you thinking all the time. The acting is superb. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something a bit different to watch, you won't be disappointed.

Finally, a slasher/supernatural horror that is thought provoking.
