Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

If you go down to the woods today you will find - an angry bear? a Sasquatch? something even worse? A night-time massacre to start with.This ultra-low budget slightly off-beat horror film lacks nothing in the originality department, but best give it a miss if you prefer happy endings. Mr and Mrs Not-So-Newly-Weds decide to go on a camping trip before he goes on the road for six months with his gee-tar. When they get there, strange things happen. That night a group of rednecks start making a big noise with their guns, then an even bigger noise with their screams. Something has attacked them, something that is incredibly strong and is as happy in the trees as on the ground.Our hero and his missus save one of the guys, who has a severely injured leg. This turns out to be a case of no good deed goes unpunished, but at least he tells them what is going on. Out there are creatures or at least entities from before the White Man came who are intent on doing something to pregnant women in connection with an ancient ritual. Guess who is pregnant and hasn't told her husband?You need know no more at this point, but expect the unexpected.

If this were strictly a horror movie, it could be criticized for starting out very slow. We get lots of background info about the leads, a married couple consisting of a wife who is newly pregnant, and a rock-band husband who is dedicated to a life of footloose irresponsibility, and is opposed to the concept of settling down and raising a family. He does not know that his wife is pregnant, and she is understandably reluctant to tell him. She wants a family; he doesn't. She has mysterious and wonderful new life growing inside of her, and he wants to go on tour and play music and have fun, as he always has. It's not that he's a bad person: he just doesn't want to grow up and give up rock-and-roll NeverNeverLand.This couple goes into the woods and encounters a band of Lost Boys carousing, shooting off guns, drinking, whooping-and-hollering, riding noisy 4-wheeler off-road vehicles, and just being total jackasses and jerks--evading responsibility for their lives and proud of it. When will they grow up? Never.Opposed to this band of boys who can't grow up, dangerous creatures lurk in the woods, hidden and deadly. The key scene in the film occurs when one of these creatures slowly reveals herself to Dana (the pregnant protagonist), and gradually morphs from monster into something more recognizably human. Now less threatening, the female creature touches Dana's belly, establishing the identification between her condition and primordial nature.This, I think, is the basic paradigm of this symbolic fable. The world of Man is so split off that Nature has become monstrous and deadly. The film is a fable expressed through a horror movie. But really, the same could be said of many "horror movies." If a viewer is expecting a pure action horror, the film is likely to be disappointing. But there is much more going on here. And, thankfully, this is not another found-footage shaky-cam horror flick. Cinematography is good (as is the direction and acting). I'll likely watch this again.

I really enjoyed this wonderful character piece that is light on the gore but heavy on the atmosphere and character development. It takes a while for the threat to show up but it is ever present and the suspense is there. When it is finally revealed I was blown away by what I was presented with. The design is absolutely fantastic!! I'm being purposefully vague as I want you to experience it for yourself.The performances all around are great especially by Fiona Dourif and I never thought I would ever take a performance by Jake Busey seriously but you know what director Patrick Rea pulls it off. The score is another highlight as it really builds the tension and is moving in all the right places. A high recommend!

A couple decide to revitalize their relationship so they head to the woods for a camping trip. She wants to settle down and have a family while he prefers to travel with his band. During the trip she has morning sickness hinting towards a pregnancy. Their trip is cut short when hunters are found dead with one still barely alive. They quickly learn that they are not alone. What is out there? This was a good slow burner where they keep you in the dark most of the time as to what's going on. This of course creates oodles of tension. Once I did see the creatures I instantly thought of Troll 2 (1990). Jake Busey adds a supporting role as the wounded hunter. I did find the husband was an annoying character who was useless and couldn't do anything anyways.Not a bad flick that could have been way worse like making it a found footage about bigfoot.
