“Modern hikers enter a forest where an older belief system has never disappeared. By refusing to explain everything, the film preserves the fear that wilderness may still obey rules older than human settlement.”
“A chilling wilderness creature feature pitting four grief-stricken friends against an ancient Norse forest god.”
Storyline
A group of college friends reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence in the woods that's stalking them.
