From the first moment of the movie, you know that the acting isn't going to be great. But having said that, apart from the acting, I think it comes together. The scenery is nice, the shots are not special, but hey are definitely not bad, and I have to say the story is actually quite interesting.
If you are willing to forget the bad acting and breathing dead people, there are enough interesting things in this movie that makes it worth viewing.
It's totally not a Hollywood movie where there are clues scattered everywhere, and the low pace of the movie is a pleasant.
Even though I gave it a four it's worth viewing, if you can forgive the acting.
My apologies to the actors though. The were very good for their roles, and I'd like to see more of them.

Bad acting, but a very interesting thriller
Worst fight scenes ever
Well, the story was semi interesting. But it's low budget so the acting is pretty bad. But the woman playing "Andrea" and the man playing "John" are some of the worst actors ever. I'm sorry I don't remember their real names, but after seeing this movie I never will. The fighting scenes are SO bad they are hilarious. And apparently there is a shotgun in existence that is completely and utterly silent when fired. These people all make the dumbest decisions ever. And although that's typical in horror movies, it was slightly infuriating here. The "twist" ending didn't explain much at all either. They never explained the connection to the two psychopath men. It partially seemed like they were in on it, yet they got in the way so how could they be?
Well done
When traveling across the Scottish Highlands, one-time friends Jess (Michaela Longden) and Andrea (Emma O'Hara) reconnect before they get separated after a night at a pub and a meet-up with Nate (director Nathan Shepka) and Tommy (Craig McEwan). Feeling something is off, she decides to go on ahead, but then realizes that she needs to go back for her friend. When she finds the corpse of Tommy and another girl - and no Andrea - she may be in even bigger trouble herself in this film from director Nathan Shepka and screenwriter Tom Joliffe.
If you liked And Soon the Darkness, you have an idea of what to expect here. There are some interesting twists and turns; nobody should be trusted. This movie is another example why I never look up old high school friends and tend to stay hidden deep inside my movie cave.
This is a movie that uses its low budget effectively and knows when to switch gears and really grab you. I had some fun with it. Here's hoping you do the same.
