On the orders of their boss, two seasoned contract killers are marching their latest victim to the mob graveyard they have used for several years. When he escapes leaving them no choice but to hunt him through the surrounding forest, they are soon hopelessly lost. As night falls they uncover a dark and terrifying truth about the vast, sprawling woodland, and the hunters become the hunted as they find themselves stalked by an ancient supernatural force.
Why it matters
A grim, atmospheric hunt that twists the mob hitman trope into a supernatural survival nightmare.
- Merges gritty crime thriller with folk horror’s creeping dread — a rare hybrid that recalls both Scorsese’s underworld grit and The Witch’s isolation.
- The forest becomes a chilling character itself, steeped in ancient menace and practical effects that ground the supernatural terror.
- For fans of slow-burn tension and the primal fear of being lost and hunted in the dark.
- Some pacing lulls undercut momentum, but the eerie mood and relentless sense of dread keep it compelling for cult horror enthusiasts.
