Build and release thriller that caught me off guard.
Strong acting from cast of unknowns, at least the leads - supporting characters weak.
Photography of beautiful landscapes was risky for thriller, but it worked - like "The Shining" but more scenery.
Script was overwritten at moments but the story was strong.
It claims to be low-budget, but there were aerial shots and coyotes and a polished look.
Slow pace, especially in beginning, but it all builds evenly to a frantic ending.
The music was eerie - acoustic with digital effects that worked for many scenes.
The subject matter was unsettling at times, my lady-friend squirmed at some points, but was not over the top.
For a "thriller" it wasn't really very scary - it was more creepy and disturbing, reminding me of a 1960s suspense film but with real violence.
Recommended for cold, depressing nights or rainy afternoons.
