I always appreciate an attempt at Lovecraft but this one fell flat. Predictable beats and scares. For a horror fan, there is nothing scary about a bad guy leering up through his eyebrows. White out contacts do not a scary film make. Forgettable.
The only thing surprising about this movie was the number of five star reviews it received.
Since my earlier review has been eaten off the page - this is probably my favourit film on Shudder. It is small scale, but lovingly crafted (pun intentional) with atmosphere so thick you can cut it. Jocelin Donahue carries the whole film, often wordlessly exploring the creepy locale like the protagonist in a computer game. There are some fabulous set pieces and an overwhelming weirdness that is just ... fantastic. A fabulous gem.
Although a small role as the bridge man, Richard Brake makes his presence known, excellent scene and interaction.
pretty creepy and had some good jump scares. I liked the legend about the settlers making a deal with a demon.
