Not what i expected. much more entertaining with how it went


Don't see too many movies that make it this far without the whole wrap up storyline. From the get go i was expecting some kind of typical stalker in the woods storyline with crazy people, instead this film delivered something quite the opposite.

I enjoyed the change of pace with a less story-based ending where literally the guy is just sitting there realizing his life damn well sucks. Now wife to wait on, the new girl he was about to get with just up and left, he's literally got nothing. No happy ending, no closure moment, no even real kill to end the frame, just harsh sadness and reality.

Movie wasn't perfect in all aspects but just loved the way they went with it. We got a snippet into a guy's life who really has terrible luck. I'm sure they could have bloated it out giving more background on why the Uncle went crazy, more give him more suffering by actually getting somewhere with his new squeeze or more typical horror style scenes, but damn if all that in this case wasn't needed.

Crazy film that goes on my recommendation lists due to the very different style approach.

I refuse to argue on IMDB until the general populous actually uses their brains
