Favourite line:"I tried to tell you it would happen if they stayed here. Why didn’t you listen to me, son? Why didn’t you listen?"

Bizarre slasher / cannibal / serial killer movie, and it is just superb.
Great music accompanying creepy, grainy footage, this looks more like a documentary than a legitimate movie.
This film has elements that you really don't expect from a low budget horror movie: a surprise twist at the end, a love story, and an emotional core.
This is highly unusual.
The premise isn't anything new in slasher terms, it's just the way it is delivered that is so unlike anything else I have ever seen.
Any horror fan looking for something a bit different, but still hideously disturbing, this one is for you.
