I really wanted to like this. The moors are a suitable setting for anything eerie and I love an English approach to ghost stories / thrillers.
But this never really seemed to get going. The requisite elements were there but the blue touch-paper never quite fully sparked it all into life.

Awful clichéd story. Awful acting. Awful direction. As a massive fan of British Indie cinema, this film is most probably, the worst one I've ever had the misfortune to watch. The only redeeming factor is the cinematography. Kudos to the DP. But, if you can't make Dartmoor look even better than it actually is, I'd suggest finding another career...

We viewed this film through Netflix and, although the photography and scenery in the film is absolutely astounding, overall the movie just does not rise even towards the top. It plods along for quite a long while before the plot becomes at least somewhat apparent. The acting is rather wooden and mostly devoid of realistic personalities and human interaction, but that may be because of the intent to portray a dark, melancholy side of life, which it does that indeed. Since the parental advisory feature on IMDb of this film is locked, viewers should be aware of frequent uses of the F word and a sex scene that is not at all subliminal. Should be rated R.

This is a joke a film. Ten years olds could come up with a more interesting plot - the acting is abysmal - its not even funny bad - its just depressing that standards have gotten so low that people are actually duped into watching something like this. Character - are never developed - there is no 'personality' in this film - whoever did the score did a good job the music is beautiful - but that is it - everything else about it - think about your most boring school lesson when you were a kid - then imagine it lasting for two days - that is just about how bored watching the first 45mins of this film made me feel. And its so awful I had to come on here and write a review as I was lead to believe there was some merit some it by previous reviews - and there is not. I have been to Dartmoor - so what? there are about three locations in this film - could be anywhere. Boring. Avoid.
The cinematography with the backdrop of Dartmoor is wonderful. That's where the magic of the film ends.
I had no clue what was going on and it just seemed confusing and too long to get to the climax. The script was written on the back of a matchbox I think. Don't get me wrong, it has every good intention to be an original scary story but it seems that there is something missing. The film could be about 30 mins long. It is filled with unnecessary sex scenes to extend the unwanted time.
It's terrible. Acting is terrible. Dialogue is terrible. Film is terrible. Don't waste your time.

Two women trekking through Dartmoor hills. Just that alone gives plenty of scope for many a story. Throw in a mysterious stranger who unexpectedly turns up early on and you're off and running. What they've come up with from there was overly convoluted where simplicity would have sufficed. The acting itself was a good standard but they just had to overwrite the whole plot. This leads to the ending becoming quite unsatisfactory. Shame really.

Not going to go into the story, but suffice to say, it is fun to watch, has surprises, UNREAL good scenery and filming, and is a slow paced mystery, but still with some tense action and settings that are creepy and odd. Not a perfect movie, but a slow burn odd/mental/memory/thriller thing that is quite memorable!
Watched it for Miss Night cuz she's propa tasty ;-) but tbh the film was crap. Think the budget was like a tenner and that was spent in red jam.
Come on...... it was terrible, and that main bloke needed a slap.

Dumb story, dumb film, dumb chavvy women on a daft walk. Anyone got me that for a present I would never be friends with them ever again.
No story, no plot. So the pervy fake ranger has a sprained ankle. I know . . We are two girls alone without somewhere to go nearby to stay so we shall get you home. How daft.
