The acting in this movie is really good.
Tayyab Torres
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Lachlan Coulson
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Nicola (Bret Roberts) and Viola (Gabriella Wright) are going to have a baby who is going to be a doctor and a lawyer. When the baby is stillborn, this creates psychological issues. Nicola takes Viola to a remote family cabin for a getaway, although neither one seems normal as the film digresses into a WTF blood and gore fest, followed by a light clued twist that says, "see how clever we are?"The characters were odd and I couldn't connect to any of them. The twist needed better clues as it comes on you all of a sudden. The dialogue did nothing for me. The was disjointed by design to show a mental state, by it lacked entertainment value because you don't realize it until the film is almost over. Might be better a second time through, or watching it knowing the over used ending.Guide: F-bomb, sex, rape. No nudity.

Having suffered the loss of their child at birth a married couple take a short break at a remote cabin in the woods (not exactly an original destination for horror movies!). Naturally things don't go to plan, the first half of this film has Antichrist spring to mind , only nowhere near as good. And it does start to drag, but then midway we're suddenly thrown into torture porn and slasher territory, To it's credit it doesn't hold back on the gore but sadly that's about the only good thing on offer here. Acting is pretty weak, especially Bret Roberts and Carl Wharton, with his northern English accent playing a ranger in Italy! Although it doesn't appear to be set anywhere in particular I would prefer to have seen it subtitled & in Italian with better actors. Italy has made many stylish, classic horror films over the decades but frankly this just looks like an American movie made in Europe for budget reasons. Boring first half, gory second half but silly & unconvincing twist. Easily forgettable effort.

Nice psychological horror film. It's a low budget movie but it's stylish and well filmed. It is disgustingly brutal, and emotionally draining but it's beautiful and artistically drenched. The story is heavy with rich symbolism, the acting is brave! The cinematography is genuinely beautiful, nice plot, nice soundtrack and good atmosphere. The movie is alienating, loved the final twist.... A very stylish, tense film, truly a suspense-thriller-horror to be proud of from the Italy, It marks a return to the style of old school horror directors such as Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper and John Carpenter. i'd suggest you give it a watch

What goes on in a deranged mind? I don't know and I guess that no one without a deranged mind would either. Having that said I just declared myself sane, which might or might not be a lie
In either case, we get to follow a couple with a broken background when they try to find peace with each other and themselves during a country trip.It's obvious that neither of them feels very well. The reason is obvious if you keep your eyes open. And even if you don't you'll get the message later on. They have lost a child, a new born child. We get glimpses of a birth and a stillborn child. Nothing can be more horrifying in this world than to give birth to a non-breathing baby. This couple quickly gets my deepest sympathy.It's kind of a low paced story, almost too low paced at times but it does get really bloody and violent as it goes along. It's really terrifying what a broken couple might do to each other in the moment of their worst anxiety. We aren't spared any of it either. There's a lot of violence that almost makes me want to turn my head away. That's very unusual but there are a couple of things I feel very uncomfortable seeing. I can't stand mutilation of hands and eyes for example.It's also pretty well acted which is a great asset when it comes to suspense. It's a pretty exciting movie actually. It's terrifying and suspenseful at the same time. It's rather unusual I think, that a film as bloody as this one also manages to keep the audience in such suspense. As I watch it I'm curious on what s going to happen, and who is going to snap first. I mean really go over the edge. It's obvious that it is going to happen, just not when. And I'm not disappointed at the final breakdown, I can tell you that. There might be one or two twists too many in the story but that's not such a big deal. This is a great movie, no doubt about it!
