The cinematography is beautiful, but beyond that, there's nothing to see here. I don't mind that it's not a "horror" movie (although the trailer is certainly misleading in that regard). I do mind this movie is dull, meandering, and a little pretentious. The writers obviously were convinced that they had a point; I just wish that they had spent a little more time figuring out what that point was. Character studies are great, but they don't work if the characters are paper-thin.
Those trippy woods will get you!
Good visuals that’s about it…. Too long to get to the point in the movie! Everything is all over the place to where it’s confusing to know what’s happening. Not enough dialogue and unrealistic. Boring movie I fell asleep mid way through it and woke up when it was over…. Let’s just say I’m not rewatching this. Pointless movie, yeah plot could’ve been good but that doesn’t mean I’m going to give them fake stars for effort. When the producers clearly didn’t have any or was drugged out they mind when making this… that would explain why the movie is so dumb
I enjoyed the pace of the movie; slow burning movies that reveal a descent are a treasure. The cinematography provoked an ominous feeling to seemingly ordinary objects that kept me guessing. The characters were emotionally investable. Isolation, disorientation, secrets and folklore provided themes that carried the movie until the end. The lights were definitely an intense addition that demonstrated the power of nature.
Creepy. There should be a mystery there but it's not clearly defined as to what the mystery even is. The flashing visuals are worthy of the seizure warning. Very little dialogue or character development. It just came off as confusing to me. Some narrative "inner" dialogue from the main character might have helped.
