- The backwoods setting taps into folk horror’s isolation and lurking menace, echoing vibes from “The Witch” and “The Ritual.”
- Practical effects and atmospheric tension build dread without relying on cheap scares—slow-cooked terror for patient viewers.
- Best for fans who crave character-driven suspense over gore, with a hint of the uncanny lurking just beyond the trees.
