I need to preface with 2 points 1 - This is in German and has subtitles ( they were fine ) 2 - This is NOT a 9 star movie, but I'm giving it 9 stars anyway... I'll explain...

Premise is simple... Guy is chased by satanists in the woods. I honestly don't want to say anymore because I don't want to give spoilers...

There is not much dialogue... so it's hard to comment on the acting... some of it looked a bit rigid, but actually got a LOT better later in the movie.

I like the fact that the movie did NOT use junk CGI, and instead opted for traditional puppets / real fake blood / etc... Yeah, some of it was cheesy, but I liked it... Props to whoever handled the special effects...

That part out of the way...

Camera work was FANTASTIC! I haven't seen a low budget flick shot so well in ages... A little bit artsy at times, but not overly so... Great framework... perfect slow motion shots... really high caliber work there...

If that wasn't good enough... The audio was EVEN BETTER. The background music / soundtrack was PERFECT! The audio, in my opinion, is some of the best I've ever seen ( or heard ). It worked magically with what was happening on screen... The audio practically drives this movie... it intensifies the suspense and scares 10 times over... AWESOME AWESOME job on the audio / soundtrack...

-----------

So... is it really a 9 star movie? uh, maybe not... but I am awarding MAD bonus points for some very pro work done on an obviously low budget flick... Parts of it even reminded me of Dead Alive ( one of Peter Jackson's early films and another favorite of mine... )

Two thumbs up from me. ( I'm going to recommend to a few friends as well )

I agree with Jeffs review. Audio is in German not, pig Latin (what is that anyway. It that like Pennsylvania Dutch, which is neither German or Dutch)? Subtitles are clear and easy to read. It really is good for a 0 budget movie. It's not the greatest but it's far from the worst.
