I was hoping for some type of human like deer creature hunting them but I guess the old 1980’s psycho killer family is a solid trope that works.

13:34 right here I was thinking, wouldn’t it be amazing if the plot twist was these people were the hunters and the couples heads we’re hanging on the wall instead of deer! Thinking this was on RU-vid, it couldn’t possibly end like that! Absolutely loved the plot twist

@glennparker5516 2 года назад

Great job cast and crew. The title is misleading I was waiting for That Buck to come the wall. Supernatural. Just the woods have eyes.

@homelesshannah50 2 года назад

I thought for sure this was going to be about some deer getting payback on humans. Oh well they still got their revenge

@pendambahidayah4712 5 месяцев назад

This ain't a supernatural, it's a thriller. I've fallen to this because of you saying it's a supernatural and thriller is never my thingy. But I don't mind since the presentation was unique, love the creativity. Only wish this has that blair witch kinda vibe but turned up it's just another thriller movie.

@smartman123 2 месяца назад

@mikeglide1292 2 года назад

Very well done. Loved that added details, the ring specifically, that elevated the film above a simple jump scare flick. If I may, this isn't criticism, but I would like to make kind of a suggestion. While there are times people get away clean, authorities are baffled, "without a trace." Storytelling wise, you'd think there would be some cost for such violence. That ring could have been the "clue" to trigger someone's intuition something very, very wrong is going on. And lead to the sequel I really want to see.

I sure as hell hope this isn’t autobiographical. After all, there are twisted hillbillies out there just like this. Just drive the valley towns of West Virginia and you’ll see exactly what I mean-you’ll be searching for an interstate like your life depended on it…and it may very well have.

Very nice; my only gripe is that some of the bird sounds (the cardinal and the woodpecker drumming) are probably only heard in the spring and summer. To me they sounded really out of place and marred the atmosphere a little.

I had a friend in college who was from Plainfield WI (USA). It's a nice small Midwestern town. It just happens to be where Ed Gein was from. Across the road from my friends' grandparents farm was an abandoned farm. While riding a motor scooter around that property,at sunset, the hairs on the back of neck would stand up and I feel a real creepiness. One of the characters from the movie Silence of the Lambs was based on Ed Gein. My friend Todd told me that his grandparents had known Ed. I don't know if he had lived across that road or not.

This is one of those films that reveal a superficial approach to great imaginative possibilities. The suspense is excellent and the actor's performance is too, but there is no real reason for what finally happens.

@elainealibrandi6364 Год назад

I agree: No backstory in a lot of films. Seems easy and senseless. However, I did like the idea of mounting human heads on a wall, as a parallel with what happens with animal heads.

Calibre is also a hunting trip movie and the ending has that "Jeepers Creepers" thing going on. Definitely some "Texas Chainsaw . . . " going on too. Splendidly done in under 16m!
