While the pacing is a bit uncertain at times, the story works well.

The relationship of the two lead characters evolves to make a suspenseful buildup.

The somewhat unusual setting tends to hold our interest.

Overall, a fine effort...great casting.

This movie is quite a surprise and under-valued little twisted, mystery-thriller indie. It has some really sad and broken characters, but it does have a lesson about friendship and who to trust, or not. And a lot of secrets and skeletons in the closet. A few of the characters are quite likable and that one woman has a great voice. I couldn't help but clap for her. But the animal FXs are too well done and quite horrific and traumatizing for animal lovers like me, I literally had to look away a few times, despite my life long love of all things horror. I had to check the end credits to make sure NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED. This is a Very DArk, story and NOT for kids eyes or for the squeamish either. It's much darker than most of the Coen films that it's been compared to. But really overall well done little mystery-who-done-it and CREEPY as all Get out, will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. If that sounds interesting to you, then watch it, because it is worth a Watch for Sure!

This was actually a well done, decently acted little indie thriller. Bizarre and traumatizing to me (If you love animals, it will traumatize the hell outta ya for REAL). I literally had to look in the end credits for that line that says NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED, because the FX were too well done and I even had to turn away a few times. Good story, that kept you guessing and will give you the willies. Seriously, interesting, some likable characters, sad, mysterious and traumatizing in more than one way. Much darker feel than Coen brothers work that some compared it to. I Say Watch it, if you have a strong stomach.
