The write up for the film gives away too much information, so pardon me if I follow in suit.

Josef Hofer (Karl Markovics) is" armed and dangerous." He is wanted and more nervous than the proverbial long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He opts to hide out in a place called Devil's Den...and 28 minutes later, forget that film. We now are introduced to Mina (Nadia Alexander) badly in need of a manicure who lives in an abandoned house. It is apparent she has been abused and there is a backstory to go with it. Hint: mother's boyfriend. Mina meets Alex (Toby Nichols) who was also abused. She takes pity on him and doesn't eat it. They are being hunted...or maybe they are the hunters.

The film drags you in if you don't know anything about it. There are interesting turns that eventually get you to the description the filmmakers put out. I liked how the script played out. Mina was interesting. I didn't like Alex. The plot was different from the formula filled genre.

Guide: 1 f-word I caught. Brief clothed sex/rape? No nudity. 7 stars for originality.

There are movies, where you know what they are about and how the story will develop from the first frames. This is not one of those movies. If you have not seen the trailer or read the summary of the story, this movie will surprise you. And it will take you on a journey that you may like.

That is if you like weird, if you don't mind violence in a movie and are not easy to disturb in general. That is true for me, though even I was shocked with one special development in the first couple of minutes. Not to mention that it really achieved to be scary. Not knowing what or who was where, and what the characters are about in the movie ... it helped a lot create a mood, that the viewer gets caught in. Nicely shot and really well done overall

Becoming lost in the forest, a blind boy believing that his abductor is holding him hostage finds that the one who freed him is the deadly ghost said to haunt the woods they're in and must put their newfound friendship to the test in order to navigate the dangers awaiting them on their journey.

For the most part, this was a decent if somewhat underwhelming entry. Among the better aspects featured here is the really intriguing and somewhat original storyline at play here. Treating the ghostly being as a vicious murderer with no remorse or empathy isn't really new, but the fact that she shows kindness to the boy due to his condition offers a really interesting point of view. Able to not only interact with the surroundings by opening doors, manipulating objects as if she were a regular human and even bringing up quality to their interactions which aren't normally associated with ghostly beings that all combine together towards giving this a decidedly fresh and original spin on the subject matter. That also translates nicely into the film's other really great aspect here in the high-quality stalking scenes. The opening attack on the criminal is a fantastic setpiece within the house and out into the booby-trapped woods, while the ambush on the friendly officer attempting to help them showcases some rather fine brutality that really doesn't come up in most genre titles. The slaughter of the workers out in the woods attempting to find him offers some fine carnage as the inadvertent nature of him triggering her to action gives this some really fun moments as the stalking through the woods is quite creepy and chilling. Coupled with the fine gore effects as well as the stellar make-up on the ghost version of the girl, there's enough to like here that holds it up over it's few issues. Among the film's problems is the absolutely dire pacing that transpires throughout here. The fact that it takes us around fifteen minutes before even attempting to move toward it's storyline offers very little of interest just watching the guy go through the woods up to the house, as the lack of energy for the scenes is incredibly dispiriting with no real effort made to generate some excitement in the matter. There's not a whole lot of really explosive energy or such going on through here as even their attempts to get away from the hunters doesn't ratchet up the tension here which it really should've. As well, the other real problem is the lack of explanation for the abduction as the inability to see what's going on with him being out of the way continually puts them in danger and making the final half more frustrating than scary. Otherwise, there isn't much else really wrong here.
