GRADE: 7.5
Suffering from delusions of fortune, a young hermit hides out in the forest hoping to crack an ancient mystery, but pays a price for his mania.
Director: Joel Potrykus
Country: USA
THOUGHTS:
Highly original horror movie with touches of comedy featuring two outstanding performances from African American actors—a casting choice that, on its own, makes this an unusual and welcome entry in the horror genre. A bracing experiment in atmosphere and mood with a fresh perspective.
